Herbert's buoy (a) is intended to be anchored by having the mooring-chain attached near its center of gravity, so as to reduce the tendency to pitch and roll in rough water and impart greater stability to the buoy; the shape of the buoy and the conical hollow in its base also conduce to these objects. An improved buoy (f), designed to have similar advantages, was patented by W. M. Ellis, Oct. 7, 1856. It is moored by attaching the cables in the line of the calculated center of tidal pressure; and the forked or V-link or shackle is connected to the buoy by means of a trunnion-bolt passing through a metallic tube or pipe set and secured within the buoy.
