The weight 3 of a moving weight ship stabilizer reciprocates in a horizontal tube 2 mounted athwartship and filled with water, valving being provided to enable the water pressurized by movement of the weight to be relieved. In the embodiment shown, each end of the tube 2 has a control valve 13 automatically controlled to maintain a set pressure (e.g. 20 lb./in.<SP>2</SP>) in the water in the tube in advance of the weight 3. Water which passes through the valve 13 at one end is discharged beneath the ship through pipes 12, 8 and an open valve 10 while simultaneously water is drawn into the other end of the tube through the other valve 10 and a one-way valve 9. Near the end of each stroke the weight covers the pipe 12 causing the discharging water to flow out at a reduced rate through a relief valve 14 whereby the weight is decelerated. Each end of the weight 3 has a mandrel (not shown) which enters a tube 7 at the respective end of the tube 2 to further decelerate the weight. The valve 13 is controlled electronically, Fig. 4 (not shown) by means responsive to the position or velocity of the weight and the pressure ahead of the weight. In a second embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown) the pipes 8 are connected together through a single valve (16) which controls flow from one side of the weight to the other. Non- return valves (18,19) and possibly a pump (17) are provided for continuously exchanging heated water in the pipes with cool water from the exterior. The weight may be connected to opposite ends of the tube 2 by at least one strip of rubber.

Brake means for use with a pair of relatively movable members 1, 2, Fig. 1, comprises a tapering gap between opposed surfaces 7, 8 of the members into which is movable a carrier 6. The latter has a single pair of locking elements 3, 4 for frictionally engaging and wedging between the surfaces 7, 8 to lock the members 1, 2 together when the carrier is moved into the tapering gap by means of a handle 10. The member 2 may still move from left to right but is prevented from opposite movement. The carrier is withdrawn from the gap by pulling the handle 10 which causes the elements 3, 4 to pivot to an over-centre position and thus relieve the wedging force. The leaf spring 9 returns the members to the locking position when they are clear of the surfaces 7, 8. In a modification the carrier is moved into a tapering gap transversely to the direction of relative  movement between the members 1, 2. In a further embodiment, Fig. 7, a hand-brake 23, 24 is locked in position by a carrier 6 having elements 3, 4 which act on surfaces 29, 31 on a fixed member 21 and the handle brake part 23 respectively. The hand-brake is released by depressing the spring-loaded rod 33 which causes bell-crank 34 to pivot and move the carrier 6 downwardly.
