VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the GEE navigation system, which appears to be from around the World War II era based on the technology and design. The ad features bold text at the top stating "GEE SHOWS YOU WHERE YOU ARE, " emphasizing its primary function as a navigational aid. The main body of the ad describes "GEE" as "The Pulse System of Hyperbolic Navigation. " It outlines several key features and benefits: - Day and night range of 350 miles - Accuracy to less than 100 yards at 200 miles - A constant fix every 10 seconds per aircraft within operational range - Immediate indication if within service range or off course - Unaffected by static interference or enemy countermeasures (jamming) - Continuous operation without interruption Below these points, it's stated that there are no ambiguities with this system, implying clarity and reliability in navigation. At the bottom, we see that this equipment was designed and produced by Cossor, claiming to be first in the world with radar receivers. The Cossor logo is prominently displayed along with their claim. Visually, behind the text is an illustration showing what appears to be hyperbolic lines on a map or radar screen—this likely represents how GEE would display navigational data using hyperbolic patterns generated through radio wave timing differences between stations.
