Simplified Storm Warnings
Went into Use Jan. 1, 1958
The United States Weather Bureau has simplified the system of
storm warning signals used to notify boatmen of impending bad weather
along the nation's waterways. The new signals were put into effect
January 1, 1958, at stations strategically located along the seacoasts,
the shores of the Great Lakes, in the Hawaiian Islands and Puerto
Hico.
The new system, both flags for daytime and lights for night, does not
indicate from which direction the expected high winds will come, as
did the former signals, but it does give a more accurate indication of
the strength of the anticipated winds.
The new signals cover four wind forces ? small craft warnings for
winds up to 38 statute miles an hour, gale warnings for winds between
39 and 54 mph, whole gale warnings for winds between 55 and 73 mph
and hurricane warnings for winds above 74 mph.
The signals are:
Day
Small Craft ? One red pennant.
Gale ? Two red pennants, one
above the other.
Whole Gale ? Single square red flag
with black center.
Harricane ? Two square red flags
with black centers, one
above the other.
Night
Red light over white
light.
One white light over one
red light.
Two red lights, one
above the other.
One white line between
two red lights in vertical
line.

New Alloy for Props
Cuts Shaft Vibration
A new alloy of nickel-aluminum
bronze has been developed by met
allurgists for use in boat propel
lers and is claimed to provide good
fuel economy and reduce shaft vi
bration.
Using the new alloy, props can
now be made 10 per cent thinner
than the old manganese-bronze al
loys, producing less drag and more
power for propelling the boat.
The new development permits a
reduction in weight of about one
fifth putting less strain and burden
on the shaft and gears.
Boat owners spent $1.9 billion in
1957.
