Sub Scout - Vintage Wwii Naval Instrument on 2040-parts.com
Schenectady, New York, United States
We just received this email (7/7/2017) from the U.S. Coast Guard. We hope this will clarify this artifact. We have tried to source the information for this historical piece of US Naval technology. "If I am not mistaken, the device in the photos you sent is a rudimentary passive torpedo acoustic detection array that many Liberty ships were outfitted with to alert them to a possible torpedo attack from an enemy submarine. The meter, I believe, is calibrated in decibels, and the blunt end of the long cable is the single passive acoustic hydrophone, which was trailed in the water behind the Liberty ship. I have read about this array, which was developed around 1943 or so just for use by merchant vessels, but had never seen a photo of one before. The array was only intended to pick up the high frequency sounds of a torpedo propeller, but was not designed to indicate the direction of the torpedo noise (unlike modern day passive acoustic arrays). If confirmation is important, you might want to send these photos to the Naval Undersea Systems Center, or possibly the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, WA, and they may be able to confirm it for you. I hope that this is helpful." Your Questions are Welcomed |

BMW M1 Hommage concept (2008): first official pictures
Sun, 27 Apr 2008By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 27 April 2008 12:47 The new BMW M1 Hommage was a surprise debutant at the Concorso d’Eleganza 2008 di Villa d’Este this weekend. No prizes for guessing what it is: this is an official concept car to mark the 30th anniversary of the original M1 supercar. The Hommage is a clever reinterpretation of the 1978 coupe, bristling with echoes of the original.
Jaguar SUV: The rendering begins
Sun, 31 Jul 2011Jaguar SUV - two alternative views So we know that a Jaguar SUV is going to happen. We know because Adrian Hallmark – Jaguar’s vocal and opinionated Global Brand Director – said back in December that Jaguar “…need a crossover and we need to stop being a saloon-based company.” And although Adrian has sometimes managed to speak without engaging brain first, what he says should be taken seriously – even if there are perhaps those at JLR who would rather there was a 3 second live delay on Adrian’s musings at times. So the confirmation that an SUV or SAV or Crossover – or whatever you want to call a high-riding Jaguar – is going to happen means we can all speculate on what it will be and what it will look like.
