388,567. Echo-sounding apparatus. SUBMARINE SIGNAL CO., 160, State Street, Boston, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Turner, E. E. ; 130, Willow Street, West Roxbury, and Bates, R. E. ; 111, Woburn Street, West Medford, both in Massachusetts, U.S.A.) Feb. 23, 1932, No. 5400. Convention date, Sept. 4, 1931. [Class 118 (ii).] Apparatus for recording distances or depths measured by the echo method comprises a longitudinally-movable waxed recording paper and a transversely-moving element, normally out of contact with the paper, adapted to scrape off the wax when the echo is received, the marks so made being closely spaced to form a continuous contour. A power-driven shaft 8 is connected by gearing to a shaft carrying an arm 15, at the end of which is secured an electromagnet 29 having an armature 32, Fig. 8, attached by a spring 33 to the magnetic core 27. The armature has fixed to it a stylus 36 which is normally held out of contact with the record strip by the magnet 29 but is prevented from touching the surface of the core by a stud 90 of nonmagnetic material. A sound is emitted when the arm 15 is in a predetermined position, and on the receipt of the echo the current through the magnet 29 is interrupted, the spring 33 then forcing the stylus into contact with the record strip. This strip is comprised of coloured paper coated with wax, the mark being formed by the stylus removing the wax and revealing the coloured surface. The circuit connections are shown in Fig. 9. The magnet 29 is normally supplied through the thermionic valve 107 conductively coupled to,the preceding valve, the supply being interrupted on the receipt of the echo at the microphone. In place of the valve 107, two such valves may be arranged in parallel, one connected to the recorder described above and the other to an indicator of the neon-tube type. When the end of the record strip is reached an alarm 108 is energized by a contact 109 passing through a perforation in the strip and contacting with a metallic surface 3 over which the record strip slides. Specification 309,901, [Class 118 (ii), Signals], is referred to.
