Résumé

Since the first sailing directions were published in the 18th century, the printing of marine data has been a slow process. The advent of computers has changed all of this. It is now possible to produce publications in a fraction of the time it took even 10 years ago. This article describes the method of publishing the 1970 edition of U.S. Coast Pilot 4, Atlantic Coast-Cape Henry to Key West, by an automatic photocomposition system.
