By a similar arrangement the aft winch drives two drums with 2000 metres of wire, 3 and 4 mm. in diameter, for the vertical nets and hydrographical work in moderate depths. In calm weather and when the currents are slight all the appliances may be operated simultaneously, provided care be.

But when there are strong currents there is always a danger of the appliances colliding, and it is best in that case to work one at a time from each winch. For the larger nets and the trawl we use the big winch (i), which takes tl>e long steel line, 9000 metres in length, increas- ing from 34 mm. to 44 mm. in diameter. When trawling the line passes round the big reel {9), on which there is a register, and from there it is led to the gallows (12 and 13) and paid out astern. When operating the big vertical nets, the line is passed round a block in the accumulator, which hangs from.
