and a grant of $150,000.
The invention is said to have saved
the ilves of hundreds of sailors and
prevented the loss of many warship*.
It consists of a waterplane shaped lik«
a torpedo, having a pair of large fi A
fins projecting on either side. It i*.
towed overside by a wire rope in su-*b
a way that it runs from the ship •
bow.s outward. The wire rope is in
tended to pick up the mooring rop --
of mines and slide them along un i1
they reach to the nose of the devic*1.
where a sharp saw is fixed inside a
V-shaped slot. The saw cuts throuj. '
the mooring rope and allows the mi-v
to float free, where it can either i
avoided or destroyed.
The invention is known in the se •
vice as the “P. V.”' or “paravane.”
