Abstract: 2195. Dinsley, A. Feb. 11. Thermometers. - In apparatus for detecting the proximity of icebergs, of the type comprising a thermometer in contact with seaw a t e r circulating through a suitable chamber on board ship, the thermometer having a series of contacts corresponding to definite temperatures and adapted to be bridged by the mercury to complete the electric circuits of an indicating- device, a luminous indicator is provided, to indicate automatically the temperature corresponding to the contacts bridged by the mercury at the time. The thermometer d, the stem of which preferably has a protective covering of celluloid or rubber, or both, is mounted in a casing with its bulb in thermal contact with sea-water circulating through a chamber d'. A vent tube d<2> is provided to prevent trapping of air. The water circulates through valved pipes e, f, connected to a pipe h which communicates, at different levels, with a tank i. The tank i communicates with the sea through pipes k. Terminal contact wires pass into the thermometer stem at points corresponding to predetermined temperatures, and a common return wire enters at or near the bulb. The indicator comprises a case m divided into compartments corresponding to the thermometer contacts, each containing a solenoid o controlled by the thermometer, and a lamp n, the circuit of which is controlled by a switch p operated by the solenoid armature r. When all the thermometer contacts are bridged by the mercury, all the solenoids are energized. The switch corresponding to the highest indication is closed, and the lamp is lighted, when its solenoid is energized; but the other switches close, lighting the corresponding lamps, when their controlling- solenoids are de-energized as the mercury falls. These switches are interconnected mechanically, as by levers y, 2, so that as each lamp lights the preceding lamp is extinguished, or electric interconnexion may be made for the same purpose. A bell x may be included in a lamp circuit. The fronts of the compartments are transparent and have depicted thereon the corresponding temperatures, together with any other desired information or instructions. They may also be differently coloured, for example, green for safety, and red for danger. According to the Provisional Specification, the pipe h may communicate directly with the sea.

In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, trunnions 5 on a bracket 4 at the head of the bomb 1 fit into forks 6 at the end of levers 7 pivoted to the undercarriage 3; and a bracket 11 at the tail of the bomb fits into a stirrup 13 and is held therein by a roller 14 on the stirrup in engagement with a fork 12 on the bracket 11. The stirrup 13 is carried by a bracket 16 pivoted to the frame of the aircraft and connected by link-work 17, 18 to a hand-lever 19 provided with a detent 20. When the stirrup 13 is drawn back by the lever 19, it draws the bomb back until the bracket 11 slips off the tread 15 of the stirrup, and at the same time the levers 7 are also swung back by the trunnions 5; soon after the rear bracket 11 slips off the stirrup, the trunnions 5 slip off the forks 6, and the bomb is thus completely released. To prevent premature release of the trunnions 5, lugs are provided thereon and corresponding stops on the forks 6, these lugs and stops coacting to prevent the release of the trunnions until the levers 7 have swung back to the desired extent. To facilitate loading and to check the correctness of the position of release, a loose crutch 22 is employed to support the levers 7 in said position. Buffers such as 24 may be provided to absorb the shocks of release. Several such gears may be used, all connected to a common hand-lever simultaneously or one at a time, to drop a number of bombs simultaneously or one at a time
