INVENTION OF I
TELEGRAP FOR i
SHIPS’ S FETY
;
The Internal Combustion Steam '
Kngine Company of Seattle has placed
on tile market a patent ships' tele
! graph, which is equipped with auto j
| mafic center position, transmitter stop ,
| and safety alarm connection to engine 1
j control.
Improvements in mechanical engine '
signal equipment have not kept pace
with the development of machinery
and ships. To illustrate this fact, it *
is sufficient to point out that modern '
methods of Installing long electric cn- !
hies and conduit on board ships re
quires the provision of slip-joints or “
loops to prevent breakage, while the t
equipment commonly used for the im
portant purpose of controlling the
ship's operation is still being installed j
with two endless cables which are
stretched taut between bridge and en
gine room, resulting in heavy strains
on tin- connections.
In providing against this and other
well-known difficulties of upkeep and
operation of ordinary ships' telegraph
I equipment, the inventor has simplified
the system and reduced the number
of cables in the "l.-C. S." system to
one half the usual number required
with nthVI1P8
The common difficulties observed |
through long experience with the "end
less chain” type of engine signal equip- £
ment lire: The gradual Weakening'S
and working loose of connections and S
chains, due to the contbined strains 1 X:
of operation and the spring of the x
ship's hull; the chains being quite
lengthy on account of considerable dis
tance between idiot bouse and engine ■:■
- room, the cables must lie kept rea
sonably tight in order to effect accu x
rate registering of the pointers in x
j: each position on the indicator dials, X
:• and a small amount of spring of the x
ship subjects the cables to heavy jij
X strains and necessitates frequent ad- X:
X justments and repairs. A small pin K
■: secures each chain to its operating
X sheave, and whenever a signal is X:
X given this pin must take the entire x
■: strain necesstiry to overcome the fric-' X:
X tioti of numerous guide pulleys on the X:
long cable extending from the bridge £
•: to the engine room and return; this i x
pin is probably the weakest point in X
_ the entire system, as it must take the -i;
_ total strain of operation, which tends X:
to pull it first in one direction and
then in the opposite; necessity for Ire
quent readjustment in order to main 'x
tain accurate registering is a consld- £
erable source of annoyance, and break- I X;
downs of equipment always occur at x
times when it is most needed for hate
dling the ship. I £
There is no safety connection he ! v
tween the ordinary engine signal and ’
the engine controls, tin- keenness of!;,
the engineer in making correct replies j
to signals is entirely relied upon, and j :•
the numerous costly accidents caused •:
- by misunderstanding of signals have j
proved the need of a reliable device j
- to guard against such mistakes and
resulting accidents. £
This system consists of two bronze £
instruments and dials, of practically £
the same form as the well-known stun- £
ard types
Instead of using two endless cables £
for transmission between bridge and £
engine room, this system used a sin i£
gle cable for each direction, with a £:
counter weight or spring at opposite :'£
ends of the system from the operat- £:
ing levers. The weight maintains a £:
limited and constant strain on the :£
cable, which is taken in or paid out £:
to the opposite instrument by the tip- •£
erating lever of the transmitter. :£
Any change in the distance between £:
the two extreme ends of the system, :£
which may be caused by the spring ! £:
of the shiii, is automatically compen-1 £:
sated for by a slight rise or fall of :£
the weight. £:•
The operating strain is always in :£
one direction and is never in excess £;
of the amount required to transmit u £:
signal. Frictionless roller bearings :£
are fitted to the spindle of the pilot £1
house transmitter. Ball bearings are ;£
fitted to the spindle of the engine jit
room indicator. Weights are inclosed £j
by guides.
Eueh operating lever is provided
with a latch which automatically and £:
positively centers the operating lever ;£
in each position on the dial. When £•
it Is desired to signal in the "ahead” £:
direction the latch Is depressed and :£
the lever automatically tends to move £;
to the position selected, the latch on- •£
gaging in the centering notch of the im
position desired. In order to signal £:
from the "ahead" position to "stop" ■£
or "astern" (the usual emergency £;
sings Ik), it is not necessary to de- £:
press the latch, but simply apply suf- :£
ficlent pressure to the lever to over- %
come the moderate tension on the §j
line, the latch engaging and holding i£
the lever in the center of any poet- £:
tlon near which the lever is released, fij
A single short cable connects the %
hank of the reverse lever, or turbine
ontrol valve mechanism, with a small
am lever on the engine room indi
ator.
In event of the engineer's placing
In* control levers in reverse position
,, the direction called for by the en
ine signal, the cam lever operates an
lectric switch, which causes eontinu
us sounding of the engine signal hell.
h<* hell will continue to ring until
Im* engineer has placed the engine
mtrols in correct position correspond
ig t" the direction indicated on the
ial of the engine room signal
This device cfTecfivoloy protects the
hip against the danger and damage
'‘suiting from misunderstanding of
ignals and mistakes in handling the
ngines. and insures both the bridge
nd engine room officers against dif
culties resulting from such mistakes,
Inis facilitating the proper handling
f the ship at all times.
The use of interior electric wiring
nd illuminating equipment, with sec
[ tional glass dial or. bridge instrument
has been eliminated in the "I f, S.'
equipment, in whleh the pointers am
solid bronze dial are lettered wilt
luminous compound. There are m
wires on the bridge to beconn
grounded and no lights to require re
newul or to be switehen on and off
The "1C. S " engine signal is sim
pie. accurate, dependable and durablt
in the highest degree
