At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Subject: mechanical diving alarm

I'm looking for information on the older mechanical diving alarm. This one was used on the Permit era boats in the 60's and 70's. I would like to find the electrical diagram/specs for the actuator windings, or the manufacturer.

Stamped into the metal is an F within a circle with what appears to be a lightening bolt.

Joe, these "older" diving alarms (a.k.a. klaxons) used a motor actuated diaphram (via a cog) for the vibration (sound) produced. They are/were made "mostly" by Federal Signals (probably same as your logo)... They were still making them several years back for a price tag around $1,300.00 - Hope this helps answer you question...
