Title A name given to the resource Cap Badge, United Kingdom, General Post Office Cable Ship, Officer Description An account of the resource Ca. 1930s-1940s. Cap badge worn by an officer aboard a United Kingdom cable ship operated by the General Post Office. The badge is woven and embroidered with a central device depicting an hourglass in the hand of Old Father Time being shattered by an electrical discharge. The entire badge is surmounted by the Tudor Crown (also known as the King's Crown); which was a design element for cap badges between 1902 and 1953. The badge itself follows the pattern for British government cap badges - Royal Navy-style laurels flanking a central device and topped with the sovereign's crown. Cable ships were tasked with laying hundreds of miles of submarine cable which connected the world - first for telegraph and later telephone. Ships of the General Post Office had the designation "Her (His) Majesty's Telegraph Ship" (HMTS) through the 1960s. http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/147/1940s-uk_merchantnavy-cpo2.JPG 89238e889d81f20c8f63cad58eb69ee0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Cap Badge, United Kingdom, Mersey Docks & Harbour Board, Lock Keeper Description An account of the resource Ca. 1940s. Cap badge worn by lock staff at Merseyside. These individuals were called "Marine Operators" or "Lock Keepers." The cap badge is gilt-brass and is without hallmark. The design of the badge mirrors that of train and land transit professionals - stamped metal. At Mersey, lock keepers worked in towers by the side of the lock. When a ship is to enter the lock, the lock keepers sound a klaxon to warn pedestrians and vehicular traffic that the bridge at the lock is about to close. Afterward, barriers are let down, blocking access. The lift bridge across the lock is then raised and the lock gates opened. Warning lights at the lock then change from red to green indicating the vessel can now proceed into the lock. Water is pumped into or out of the lock, bringing the lock water to the correct level. http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/144/trinityhouse_assistant-keeper.jpg 6edfcc35faa4acc39c5357643e659199 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Cap Badge, United States Power Squadrons, Squadron Commander Description An account of the resource ca. 1940s. Cap badge worn by a Squadron Commander within the civilian organization, United States Power Squadrons (USPS). The central device does not have a hallmark. From present regulations (2020): "Cap device. The insigne worn on the uniform cap may include the wearer's rank if desired. As ranks tend to change frequently, it is suggested that the cap device without display of rank be used. When the cap device is incorporated on the casual, flat-top or baseball cap, the insigne of rank is not to be used. The cap device and the blazer patch share the same dimensions. The ship's wheel measures 1.5 inches across (end of handle to end of handle.) The wheel proper measures 1 inch across. For squadron and district officers, insignia are placed at the 9, 12 and 3 o'clock positions. Staff and rear commanders are placed at the 12 o'clock position and extend through the center of the ship's wheel. Vice commander's tridents are crossed at the center of the wheel and at 90o. The chief commander's three tridents are crossed at the center of the wheel and at 45o. Insignia other than tridents are placed at the 12 o'clock position. The blazer patch when worn without an insigne of rank is surrounded by a gold circle measuring 2.5 inches across and .13 inch in width. Note that this circle is not worn as part of the cap device. On both the cap and the blazer, the insignia of rank and grade are smaller in size than those on the uniforms. They are sized so that the insigne of a senior navigator measures 2.5 inches across (the same size as the gold circle). For squadron and district ranks, the tridents measure approximately 83 percent of the size of those on the uniform. National tridents extend through the ship's wheel and measure two inches overall."
