These mechanisms comprise the basic principles of the deep sea bombs, which have been the most potent enemy of the submarine. At a given depth the pressure of the water, determined by an adjustable gauge, works upon the device which causes the bomb to explode. The water is compressed to such a degree that the hull of the submarine is caused to collapse or spring leaks. There have been subsequent patents which have been combined with these (all patents of Mr. Fulton's) to evolve this formidable
