A NEW DAVIT GEAR.
A working model of an entirely new type of darit swinging gear, Le, the Helix Davit Gear was exhibited at an exhibition, in London recently. The inventers have broken new ground I their treatment of the pro- blem of banding boats' davite, and. have produced a gear which marks & distinct advance in certain directions as compared with. even the best of the gears at present on the market. In the first place, the gear for one pair of davits can be operated by one man, and enables a boat to be turned out against a 20 degree list is well under two minutes, and further satis- fies all other of the various require ments of the Board of Trade as affecting mechanical appliances for boats davits.
Its special claims for consideration. however, lie in the following facts.
1-It is designed for fitting to ordinary davits.
2. The gear is under positive con- trol throughout the operation of 820.00
swinging out the boat, and both 700.00 davits are mechanically linked to 200,00 that it is impossible for 'them to get 200.00
out of step.

4. The actual motion of the boat from inboard to outboard is identical. with its motion if the davils are. operated by hand, and as a con- sequence it is possible in many cases to arrange for more pairs of davits than if other gears are fitted, which require space before and abaft the ends of the boat. With the Helix Davit Gear the end of a boat may overhang the end of a boat deck or bridge.
5.-The gear has been designed to permit of standardising the parts and can be produced and fitted at a cos which will compare very favourably with the most of fitting other gears.— Journal of Commerce.
