This unit is ex Australian Navy. This is a mechanical thermograph that records depth and temperature to enable the location of submarines.

“Comprises two sensors …. one in the nose responds to pressure (depth) by pushing a glass slide along the central axis of the body.  The other sensor consists of a long tube wrapped around the tail section where the fluid expands or contracts depending on the water temperature.  This is turn drives a Bourdon Tube which moves a stylus more or less at right angles to the centerline. This results in a scratch line on the smoked glass slide giving a pressure diagram from the surface down to depth and back to the surface.“
