EMERGENCY LIGHTS
FOR SAFETY AT SEA
Invention Of Department Of
Commerce Expert Provides
Auxiliary Circuit.

To meet another requirement for
safety at sea, all passenger vessels OF
the United States are being equipped
with auxiliary lights to illuminate
passageways and life-boats IN time of
disaster.
These lights are operated on an
auxiliary lighting circuit that will burn,
, when engines and boilers go out of
Their operation has been made secure
and possible by a charging panel board
for storage batteries, designed by Radio
Inspector r. Y. Cadmus. of the Bureau
OF Navigation, Department of Com
merce. The emergency lights are oper-
ated on an Independent storage circuit,
used by the wireless.
On Ships at Baltimore.
In compliance with the regulations of
the steamboat inspection service re-
ouiring such auxiliary lights on passen-
ger vessels. a number Of passenger YES
sells at Baltimore have been equipped
with the emergency lights.
The Cadmus charging panel is 40
equipped as automatically to disconnect
the charging circuit, as soon az the
radio and light battery IL fully charged.
Should the lights be used for purposes

amount OF current put IN or taken out
OF q storage battery, can be 30 set as
to cut out these lights when the dis
charge reaches a certain point, thereby
reserving the necessary emergency sup
The board is equipped with overload
and underload automatic switches TO
prevent excessive charging. II Is Sim
pie In construction and comparatively
Inexpensive. Should an accident require
the use OF emergency lights an officer
or wheelman on the bridge throws one
switch or presses q push button on the
steering head Of the wheel.
Where Lights Are Placed.
Emergency lights are placed in the
main passageways: In the passageways
leading to the staterooms: over the
doors leading to the decks; on the stair
ways leading to the lifeboat decks; on
the boat deck In immediate vicinity OF
lifeboats and RATS, and the auxiliary
current Ia also connected with the signal
lights OF the vessel.
The lights are arranged on three cir
cults. one for each deck, leading TO the
charging panel These circuits consist
OF two parallel wires run through a
load cable. Should one of the lamps
get broken the circuit II not interrupt
fuses are used; on the passenger deck
five-ampere fuses. and on the boat
deck ten-ampere fuses are used. In the
event of an accident should the water
reach the freight deck circuit the lower
fuses will blow. allowing the lights on
the upper decks to remain lighted.
These auxiliary lights can be 80 placed
