MARINE 1901.] REVIEW. Geo HAMILTON-FOSTER FOG SIGNALS, Adopted by the Light-House Board. The machine is a megaphone, which is di- rected to each point of the compass in turn, and the signals are blown automatically. Dots indicate short blasts, % sec. Dashes, long blasts, 2 sec. The signal you hear tells you where it is The one you hear most distinctly gives the magnetic bearing of the signal from you. If you hear two short blasts, the signal bears Ss. W. If you hear two signals with about equal distinctness, the magnetic bearing is between these two. For instance, if you hear two short blasts [S. W.], then an interval, then a short and long blast [West], the sig- nal must be W. S. W. from you. Opposite points of the compass have oppo- site signals, so that if you learn half the code, you know it all. All signals indicating the general direction of East begin with a long blast. All indicating general direction of West begin with a short blast. The HAMILTON-FOSTER FOC SIGNAL CO. 11 BROADWAY, (Room 1167,) NEW YORK, N.Y., U.S.A. THOMAS WALKER & SON, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.
