STOCKHOLM, April ia new
and successful device for finding
and lighting sunken submarines has
just been invented by two Swedes,
A. Hasselberg, a lieutenant in the
engineering corps, and K. Oester-
berg, a civil engineer.
The contrivance has been tested
thoroughly by the Swedish navy.
The invention consists of buoys
which can be released from the in
side. These rise to the surface
when the submarine sinks to the
bottom. The buoys are fitted with
thin wires to which are attached
coupling devices. Lifting chains are
fastened to the wires and let down
to the sunken boat, where the cou-
pings automatically lock the chains
to the hull and the lifting can be-
gin.
