He saw the movie so many times he knew all its lines. He spent hours in front of a mirror, trying to look as tough as Widmark-and he succeeded. He had a mercurial temper and acted out his movie fantasies as the crudest of the Gallo brothers...

But before such measurements can be visually displayed, they must first be converted into an electric current with fluctuations that precisely mirror those echo intervals. The reason is that the depthfinder is, in effect, a miniature computer or switching system. Only those circuits linked to the appropriate diode segments will be switched on with each fluctuation of current...
