Abstract
175,367. Thompson, W. P., (Grunow, W.). Nov. 10, 1920. Transferring articles to and from conveyancesin motion.-Mails &c. are placed in a non-sinkable upright-floating carrier attached to one end of a cast line, the other end of which is fired from a gun on an aircraft across the deck of a ship and hauled on board, means being provided for releasing the carrier from the aircraft. The carrier 5 is held on a holder 3 attached to an aeroplane- 2 and having a spring catch 4 which may be operated by a lever 4e. The aeroplane travels in the same direction as the ship 1 and, when the cast line 6 has been shot across the deck by the gun 8, the carrier is released by pulling the lever 4e and falls with the cover upwards, the mails being held in the lower half and the bottom being weighted. To reverse the transference, the cast line is shot and attached to a carrier on the ship, the carrier then being thrown into the sea and pulled on to the aeroplane. The carrier may be coloured to attract attention in case it is accidentally dropped.
