THE
NEW FOG SIGNALLING
INSTALLATION.
Complying with Sea. Safety Convention.
An installation of the latest type of Willet Bruce contrul «p- paratus by the Maritime Signal Co., Ltd., Liverpool, has just been completed and despatched for the new Cie Gle. Trans- Colombic, Atlantique steamed
It now building at Le Havre. consists of mechanism for auto- matically controlling the anchor fog signals, which are officially a hell rung rapidly for five seconds on the forecastle, and alternative- ly with a gong or triangle sound- ed in a similar manner at the stern of any vessel riding at anchor in a river or fairway dur ing fog.
en-
The apparatus, which is tirely controlled from the bridge, consists essentially of switch- year for using the same motor or motors which are fitted in the jehart house for automatically
controlling the whistles, also to! control the power impulses for the bell and the gong fitted on the bow and stern respectively. | The operating switchgear con- sists of a new type of robust mica insulated, copper to copper, contactor. The box is engraved in the usual three positions: "Silent," "automatic" and "hang! operated," and externally is the same as the well-known Willett Bruce bridge whistle control ap- paratus.
Independent Operation.
When it is desired to operate the plant the electrical power is switched on to the motors by a change-over switch, which, as soon as the control handle is put to "automatic." enables power to be tranymitted at min- ute intervals for a duration of 5 seconds to the bell and the

The liquidator of the company was not implicated, because the bank took possession of the vessel, by Admiralty Marshal's arrest, be fore the lasue of the writ. The law was that although, under the companies Act, any property.of the company which. was under arrest at the time of the liquidation or winding-up should be taken inte the liquidation, in this caso the property had been transferred by the taking of possession by the mortgagees.

No one, so far as he knew, had produced a case, and there did not appear to be a case, for the change. The case quoted recent- ly in the House of Lords of the danger of English helm orders was one of a German ship which had a Belgian pilot.
