Maxim Brothers Inventions Submerge Gas Dispenser and Submarine Device
The Maxim brothers, noted inventors, develop wartime devices including a chlorine gas disperser to protect British troops and a submarine position indicator claimed cheaper and safer than existing designs.

The devices aim to locate submarine mouths underwater and reduce the need to surface, with price estimates around $2,000 for the position indicator.
