such as aerop1anes, subm arines, boats," etc,
the ocean and insome instances :thisgmay 1 be: three to five miles beneath, the surface. t The cable vor wirelO'should be of sufiicient f I in which a novel pressure actuated "release 10 is used :for freeing vaibuoy when.the"craft sinks to a predetermined "depth; Y I

A friction brake 8 bears againstjone of" thedi'scs 6 and is yieldingly held in this position'by a'spring 9.

anditwo miles in length-, or longer; It is en known that a' sink-ingfvessel willfcontinue to drop until it strikesl'thefloor of; 1
length to, permit the buoy to-float on the surface regardless of the distance the craft sinks. 5 l The meansfor housing the buoy consists war .,0r away fromithexmember 13j The member 12 is mounted upon a lever ll that v has a: pivotalconnection l5 to,aprojection-f '16' extending fromithe upright 21 :Thelowerj end of the lever 14; is pivotally-yconiiected" at 17 to afpiston arm l8rthat-in turn has- 1 1:, ,pivotal connection at'19 with apiston20.

the buoy 11 is automaticallyreleased-when2 the craft to which it is attached sinks to 'ia'i,
predetermined point. p This is caused by the i; or
pressure of the water upon the piston 20,
driving the piston against the'tension of the spring 22 untilthe piston has moved a dis-j. tance suficient to swing the cup-shaped member 12 into the dotted line position shown in 9715* V I V Figure 2. It is obyiousthat' a tensioning of 5 the spring 22 by the-adjusting nut 28' will" f require-a'greater'pressureof water, upon the piston 20before the buoy 11 is released. ,In
