What is this article about?
Continuation of an article describing a new cathode ray display system for monitoring aircraft safety. It uses green for safe conditions and orange for unsafe, with spots moving outside safety envelopes. Solid-state components ensure reliability. First unit installs at Edwards AFB early next year.

Vehicle Monitor
To Aid Pilot And Plane
Concluded from Saturday's Paper
The cathode ray displays will present a green color indication of the "OK" condition which changes to a harsh orange when either the actual value or the rate of change becomes unsafe. For the X-Y plot display of inter-related parameters, the green spots of light are located inside "safety envelope" areas which have been previously determined for the particular parameters, for both the man and the vehicle.
The spots of light change their color to orange when the parameters move outside the "safety envelope" areas.
The electronic design of the new system follows the most advanced state-of-the-art. Solid state components are used wherever practicable, and miniaturization and reliability are exercised throughout the console.
The first unit will be ready for installation and operation early next year at Edwards AFB.
