Does anyone know anything more about the Lime-water (acid neutralizing) system for the battery compartments?

I have seen the drawing from U-boat Archive http://www.uboatarchive.net/U-570Plate26.htm but that the extent of that I know about this system.

If anyone is using this drawing as a reference, I just realize it is incorrect :( In Battery Room 1, I drawn the batteries as 4x3x4, this is incorrect! It should be 3x3x4 Port side and 4x3x4 on the starboard side.

It was a dreadful day at the shipyard, the weather continues getting worse. The morning started with only light rain but by late morning the weather was awful, driving rain and strong winds. The dockworkers refuse to work outside today. They were keen to finish the deck of U-1308, the newest VIIC/41 in the fleet, nevertheless they all voted to work inside due to the weather. They decided to work in the aft battery room.

They installed the new 33 MAL 800 batteries and connected them all up, next they install the small maintenance trolley. They were nearly done with the aft battery room, when they heard the end-of-day whistle blow. Before the whistle finished, they had drop there tools and were halfway out the gate on there way home. There is always tomorrow to finish it ;D

Torpedoes Loading Plans

While doing some research on the Lime-water system. I come across two set of plans for loading torpedoes. I had not seen these before, so though people may want to have a look. Happy viewing  :)

Yesterday I did a test print out of my posters to check the sizing. There will be two posters, one of the inside of the U-Boat and the other of the outside. Each drawing of the U-Boat will be 1600mm by 600mm (9 x 2 A4 pages for the test print as my printer will on do A4). The posters are for my new house for my officer. Here are a few pictures of the poster in my office. Can not wait til both the house and posters are finish ;D


This wall will have inside view of my U-Boat


This wall will have outside view, I have not print it out yet.


And this is my house in winter :) The mountain behind my house are the Craigieburn Range. This is where I work as a avalanche forecast :)

Hi Simon, thank you for this information, it will come in handy for me.  I have sent an email to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago asking for detailed photos of U-505's periscope.  The two detailed pictures I have are the front and bottom/front, neither of which shows the words you are looking for.  I hope the museum can help us out with a couple of photos.

Your drawing is beautiful!

Hi Simon,

My apologies for my delay in replying, I have been on paternity leave recently and have had no spare time. Below are a few shots of the late UZO. They aren't great - as always we need better resources. Your house looks brilliant, as do your posters on the wall.







Cheers,

Dougie

I have added the wiring, the insulating cork (the light brown layer next to the Pressure Hull) and a control rod that run along the starboard Pressure Hull (I believe the control rod is for the aft hydroplane ???). Pressure Hull and Ribbing are now to scale ;D (Pressure Hull is 21 mm - because this is a Type VIIC/41) and ribbing is 200 x 70 x 11 mm.


Fig. 1. Top view - Starboard only.


Fig. 2. Side view - Port - Pressure Hull, Ribbing and Plate Steel (Not to scale - yet  ;D)

Exhaust manifold

I am look for any pictures of the Exhaust manifold. If anyone know of any pictures on the net or have any I would be very kind to have a look at them. The best picture I have found so far is from www.u-historia.com

Hi All

I have seen this marking on a few switches, it look like a 'V' within a 'A' (lower right corner). Does anyone know the marking or the company?

Thanks, Simon.
