The company also developed the nation's first electronic stadium scoreboard in 1966 for San Diego's stadium...The Electrotape was followed by the Autotape - the first two-range, high-accuracy positioning system for the petroleum and offshore construction industry. It was used for major pipe-laying and off-shore construction projects throughout the world before the advent of GPS technology. The system revolutionized the oil industry, since it allowed offshore oil exploration without the fear of drilling in the wrong spot." http://www.cubic.com/corp1/aboutcubic/about_cubic_history.html
