    This is a wonderful record of a very sad event where stories, journeys, events and tragedies witnessed are being consigned to the scrapheap of history and Hammond Lane! Not sure where he gets the sixteen but there are definitely thirteen! The one nearest the camera has another facing back towards us!

    Nice picture that how commnication technology has been improved. Although its function is very simple, the machine itself looks very complicated.

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

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