A geared wheel inside allowed the crew to adjust the cabin\u00e2\u0080\u0099s tilt by hand or to lock it in place.

Four hatches on deck slide open for access. The telescoping mast with sail can be operated from inside, while two interior levers activate the propeller. There is also a steering wheel forward connected by a line to the rudder."}], "name": [{"label": "patentee", "content": "Tremberger, George"}, {"label": "patentee", "content": "Stein, Michael Joseph"}, {"label": "inventor", "content": "Tremberger, George"}, {"label": "inventor", "content": "Stein, Michael Joseph"}], "publisher": [{"label": "Related Publication", "content": "On the Water online exhibition"}, {"label": "Related Web Publication", "content": "http://americanhistory.si.edu/onthewater"}], "topic": [{"label": "related event", "content": "The Development of the Industrial United States"}], "place": [{"label": "Place Made", "content": "United States: New York, New York"}, {"label": "associated place", "content": "United States: New York, New York City"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 32 in x 25 in x 8 in; 81.28 cm x 63.5 cm x 20.32 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "lifeboat, model"}, {"label": "Object Name", "content": "patent model, lifeboat"}, {"label": "Object Type", "content": "Patent Model"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_1095593", "hash": "75b11b726549c8218909f0cd7f8424095704dae1", "docSignature": "38b213da032914ad362163ac07e9e008", "timestamp": 1663781938, "lastTimeUpdated": 1655973100, "title": "Patent Model, Life Boat"}
