HIGH RESOLUTION-LOW PRICE Which is more important

to you? Originated by Harris as the Laserfax, this recorder is now distributed by EMR as the

Model 816 in the EMR Weather Data Systems product line. EMR also offers image acquisit ion and enhancement products as well as total image receiving systems for all of the satellites in orbit

worldwide. So you're not just buying a fax, you're benefiting from the expertise available

only from a company that offers the most complete line of meteorological satellite

image products available. We know g j j ^ ^ J " what fax users need.
