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.

  A "Liberty Loan" would put this in the World War I era. In fact, this photograph would have been taken in late April, or during March 1919. A Liberty Loan was the name given to the U. S. Treasury's means of raising funds from the public via bond issues to pay for war work. The Fifth Liberty Loan, with the slogan "Finish The Job" was launched on 21 April, 1919, with a canvass period of three weeks: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C05E6DA1E39E13AB... More on Liberty Loans: www.answers.com/topic/liberty-loans And here's some information about the photographer, Gabriel Moulin: www.moulinstudios.com/history.htm As for the Magnavox, this is a vacuum tube amplifier with speaker horn. Electrically amplified sound was a relatively new technology in 1919, and in that year the Magnavox gained national attention after President Woodrow Wilson used a Magnavox to amplify a speech he gave in San Diego.
