Loading and unloading.-In a carriage for carrying cable e drums &c., the hub of the wheel is replaced by a spiral A, Figs. 1 and 2, secured to a ring B<1> to which the wheel spokes X are attached. The ring B' rotates in a fixed casing B<2> in which are mounted a number of rollers engaging a V-shaped groove in the ling. Levers C, secured at one end to the framework B and connected at the other end by a transverse rod G, are provided with pins E, which pass into the coils of the spiral and are placed at such a distance that they rest in the centre of the spiral when the levers are raised. In order to put the drum on the vehicle, the latter is moved backwards towards the drum until the pin E is at the lowest point of the spiral. A rod H secured to side levers is passed through the drum, and the levers are hooked on the rod G and are fastened by chains J to the vehicle body. As the vehicle moves forwards, the pins E mount the spirals, and the drum is raised from the ground. A hollow cam-shaped casing K, Figs. 9 and 10, is placed in the centre of the spiral and is attached to it by springs L, which normally press the cam into the spiral. The cam is provided with an inclined surface against which the pin E bears, pressing the cam outwards until the pin reaches the centre of the cam. The pin is then opposite the hollow in the cam, and the latter moves inwards under the action of the springs L and encloses the pin E. The pin E is released for unloading by withdrawing the cam K by a screw L<1>, which is engaged by a nut L<2> turned by a handle L<3>, Fig. 2. In a modification, shown in Fig. 6, the pins E, which are flanged to prevent them from falling out of the spiral, are connected by rods R to a cradle Q adapted to carry the drum.

Submarine vessels.-A submarine vessel is fitted with a buoyant deck of porous material, for example, a mass of cork of the kind described in Specification No. 27,510, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Stoppering &c.]. This buoyant Material constitutes the chief element of buoyancy, and may be covered with armour. In the interior of the hull is arranged a cylindrical compartment 2, which is occupied by the crew when the boat is submerged. This compartment 2 also contains the motor 3 and steering-wheel 4. At the sides of the compartment 2 are arranged compartments for the oil motors and crew, when the boat is afloat. To submerge the boat, the whole of the vessel except the compartment 2 is flooded. Ventilating-pipes 11 of the kind described in Specification No. 15,293, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Ventilation], are fitted for use when the vessel is semi-submerged. An important feature is the arrangement of the accumulators 15, which, in addition to feeding the motors, also serve as detachable ballast weights. The accumulators are suspended by hooks in the underside of the deck, so that they may be instantly detached and fall through the wells in the bottom of the vessel, thus enabling the vessel to rise to the surface. The vessel is also provided with several sets of radially-arranged torpedo tubes placed at each end and on the broadsides. The arrangements of the weights and ballast compartments are such that when the vessel dives, it is somewhat by the stern, and, in order that the inclination may not become excessive, the vessel is fitted with a clinometer, shown in Fig. 13, comprising an horizontal zigzag tube 50 filled with mercury and terminating in two vessels 52 with floats, which are connected to levers adapted to close electric circuits to operate motors for righting the vessel.
