The paper by Captain J. P. Stewart in the July issue of the Journal, entitled as above, presents a wealth of evidence and argument for the obvious sense of designing marine radars in such a way that they can:

(a) present compass stabilized radar pictures in the natural ship's-head-up orientation. This avoids the mental stress of trying to correlate the radar view and the eye-ball view of the same situation when the two may be presented in completely different orientations;

and

(b) simultaneously allow true bearings of targets to be read off directly.
