WATFORD, England, 16 Feb. 2008. The Brazilian Naval Commission has taken delivery of 16 Meridian Heading Repeaters and four Meridian Digital Repeaters from Teledyne-TSS in Watford, England, in an order worth 65,000 Pounds Sterling. The units will be installed across the Brazilian naval fleet.

The Teledyne-TSS ranges of Meridian Repeaters are designed to compliment the Meridian range of gyrocompasses.

It is self-aligning, has back lighting and alarm messages, and conforms to DIN 43700.
