No. 66

means devised for carrying out the purpose of the invention consist of a metal cylinder or casing that is divided into two chambers by means of a false bottom extending across the casing a suitable distance from the lower end thereof. In the upper chamber are mounted a number of vertical hollow cylinders made of porous stone. The top ends of these stone cylinders are closed while their bottom ends are in communication with the lower chamber of the casing. The appliance in use is placed between the pump and the boiler, and the water is led into the top chamber and filters through the sides of the stone cylinders down into the lower chamber, from whence it travels to the boiler.

No. 18174.—19th July, 1904.—HUGH SHAW CLARK, of Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand, Master Mariner, and ROBERT LOGAN, the younger, of Devonport, Auckland aforesaid, Shipbuilder. A new and improved position-finder for indicating positions on either land or sea.

Extract from Specification.—In using the instrument described with the object of giving effect to the purpose for which it is projected, the officer in charge of the vessel on which the position-finder is being used, wishing to find his exact position off the land where his vessel is, takes as sighting objects three stationary points on or off the land such as are shown on Fig. 3 of the drawings and marked respectively W, X, and Y. Having first loosened the thumbscrew T he takes the central point or object X by preference and sights the same over the spindle-point I and over the point or vane V² of the arm P. Then, while the thumbscrew T is sufficiently loose, he quickly brings the arm R in line with the point or object Y by bringing the spindle-point I and vane V³ in line therewith. Having done this he immediately brings the arm N in line with the point or object W by bringing the spindle-point I and the vane V¹ in line therewith, and at once tightens the thumb-screw T so that neither of the arms can be moved from the direction given them. In pointing the arms the last object to be taken should be the one that the ship or vessel is passing quickest. The bearings having thus been taken the hub is lifted off the shoulder H and pin or lug K, and is placed upon the chart so that each arm is in direct line with the points or objects already taken as above described; then a pencil or other suitable marker is passed through the hollow space Z within the hub or cylinder L previously fitted over the spindle, and a dot or mark is made on the chart, when the position-finder or instrument is removed from the chart. This dot or mark thus made upon the chart indicates the precise position of the vessel at the time the observation was made or taken.
