The ingenuity that goes into the creating of a ship, both then and now, is something to behold.

Who would have stood at this post?

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
Hard to say exactly, but an inexperienced man wouldn't have been allowed to operate the controls when moving the ship around in port. So more than likely one of the 2nd engineers, while the Chief Engineer coordinated the work of all the Engine Room Staff.

They certainly don't make them like that anymore.

I have done some instrument tubing in gas plants, and the tubing here is very well done considering they likely didn't have the benders that we use today.
U.S. Submarine diving wheel & depth charges (LOC)

Kilted Cowboy said:
lol it's depth gauges, not charges :)
-
Art Siegel said:
LOC: note transcription error on caption, per Kilted Cowboy.
Also, the picture is pretty clearly labeled and displayed upside-down.
The inscriptions on the gauge faces are all upside-down and the speaking tube and lights make no sense in this direction.
I think you should invert it for display in the Commons.

This appears to be the USS G-3, formerly the Turbot.

Also the inclinometer would not be much use in that orientation.

The Library of Congress said:
Thanks artolog. We've fixed the orientation.

And the "charges" will be "gauges" next time records are updated. Thanks for the catch.
