Description:: File comprises correspondence between the engineer to the Humber Conservancy Board, and the Submarine Signal Company (London) Ltd, regarding the operation of the trial and overhaul of their nautophone and oscillator fog signal equipment, fitted on the Spurn Lightship. The correspondence shows that the engineer is clearly unhappy with this equipment and it appears to be not fit for purpose, judging by the number of break downs, etc.
