NEW ZEALAND STAB On the voyage from England to Australia of the Blue Star Lino’s motor vessel New Zealand Star, an experiment was made with the new " Magic Electric Eye." The Inventor (Mr B. Chance), who was a passenger on the New Zealand Star, invented the Chance automatic steering device during research work for his degree of doctor of philosophy. This device has been fitted to two American freighters, but the New Zealand Star Is the first British ship to be equipped. Experiments will be carried out on the round voyage, and, If successful, the fitting may be adopted on other vessels of the fleet. Unlike other automatic steering devices, it requires no power, and Is worked directly from the compass. A light beam Is projected from a magnetic compass by a mirror with photo-electric cells, and an electric eye detects and corrects the slightest deviation from the set course. The equipment costs less than £IOOO. It is claimed that the device will steer a ship more accurately than can the most skilled helmsman, because the electric eye constantly watches the compass and Is more sensitive to any variation than Is the human eye.
