This sends out electrical disturbance,
which, passing through the receiving-circuit
on the vessel, affects the sensitive device A'
25 and starts the flow current through the lo
cal circuit, including said device, the relay a,
and the battery o'.

If then desired shift starboard,
or the opposite direction that which
55 was last moved, the handle simply
turned point and allowed remain there
until the motor which now operated
by relay K', the circuit which closed
by strip coming into contact with plate
60 has done its work.
The manner using the apparatusand the

comprising the same detail follows:
Normally the plate turned that brush

brush upon one the insulated short seg-
ro ments the rear the circle.
Assuming now that desired start the
vessel and direct given point, the han

only one the circuits motor F—that con-
15 trolled relay K'—is capable being closed,
since brush which connects with the other,
is out contact with the long segment 21.
The invention which have described will
prove useful many ways. will understood that the
handle held for sufficiently long time
upon either point the motor will simf
ply turn the plate one direction the
other until the circuits motors and are

hicles any suitable kind may used, as
life, despatch, pilot boats the like, for
carrying letters, packages, provisions, in
struments, objects, materials any de
scription, for establishing communication
with inaccessible regions and exploring the
conditions existing the same, for killing or
capturing whales other animals the sea,
and for many other scientific, engineering, or
commercial purposes; but the greatest value
of, invention will result from its effect
upon warfare and armaments, for reason
of its certain and unlimited destructiveness
it will tend bring about and maintain per
manent peace among nations.
