HC Deb 02 March 1876 vol 227 c1208
COLONEL NAGHTEN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If, with a view to the prevention of collisions at sea, and consequent loss of life, he will sanction a trial on Her Majesty's ships of Sir F. Blackwood's "Night Helm Indicator?"

MR. HUNT

, in reply, said, an indicator of the same kind had already been tried, and he did not know what advantage would be derived if the question were brought forward again. He had not been able to give the matter much consideration, which, however, he would do before he came to a final decision on the subject.
