American Ingenious Invention Pro­
tects Ships Which Are Lying
in Harbor.
In interesting device intended for
euch purposes as protecting a small
port where the cost of permanent
works would be prohibitive or for
warding off heavy seas from a vessel
lying along an exposed pier, recently
has been perfected, says a writer in
the Engineering supplement of the
London Times.
Known as the Brasher air screen,
it is the invention of Philip Brasher,
an American government engineer.
I t consists in laying a line of per­
forated pipes on the bed of the sea.
These pipes are connected to an air
compressor and when a gale springs
up compressed air is driven through
them. The bubbles as they rise to
the surface form a screen behind
which it is said that a vessel can lie
safely, even though a heavy sea may
be running a few hundred yards
away. The device was first used for
the protection of a pier, 4,000 feet
long, at El Segundo, in California.
In the winter after this pier was
built, half of it was washed away,
and its owners were contemplating
the abandonment of the station
when the air screen was installed,
with satisfactory results.
