U.S. Submarine diving wheel & depth charges (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• 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.

• Jim Rees said:

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

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks artolog. We've fixed the orientation.

• Greg said:

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