At random: Nautilus has long been a popular name for a submarine. Some of the more famous of these are Robert Fulton's NAUTILUS (1800), Jules Verne's fictional Nautilus, and the NAUTILUS of Sir Hubert Wilkins in which he attempted a voyage to the North Pole under the ice (1931). There have also been three U.S. submarines of that name, including the world's first nuclear powered submarine built by the Electric Boat Division.

Subject: mechanical diving alarm

I'm looking for information on the older mechanical diving alarm. This one was used on the Permit era boats in the 60's and 70's. I would like to find the electrical diagram/specs for the actuator windings, or the manufacturer.

Stamped into the metal is an F within a circle with what appears to be a lightening bolt.

Joe, these "older" diving alarms (a.k.a. klaxons) used a motor actuated diaphram (via a cog) for the vibration (sound) produced. They are/were made "mostly" by Federal Signals (probably same as your logo)... They were still making them several years back for a price tag around $1,300.00 - Hope this helps answer you question...
