NEW APPARATUS FOB DIVERS
Recently invented Air Lock Places
Workers Base of Operations at
Sea Bottom.

A recent development of the appara-
tus OF deep sea diving is the air lock.
a German invention. This is steel
chamber--it is made in all sizes for
wo or more dlyers-which is lowered
TO the seas bottom Omit 325 feeD to
become the divers base Of operations.
The chamber, is, of course, connected
with the surface by the usual air hose,
containing telephone cable, etc. 1t con
tains all the modern improved tools
used by the diver ia his work and
serves as a ready and convenient refuge
in case anything goes wrong with his
s1it or apparatus.
The advantages Of the air lock over
the method of working from the sur
face are described in an illustrated ar
ticle in the Scientific American. The
diver, says the writer, is enabled to
use the self-contained diving suit.
Equipped with this, he is numbered
with no air hose, and cannot be suf-
located by the failure of the hose or
the formation of n kink in it by cur
rent or other means. He carries his
own air with him in a compression
chamber strapped to his back. q.
He has an air publication circuit, by
means OF which the carbonized air
which he exhales is passed over caus-
tic soda or potash. restored to its pure
state by chemical reaction, and re-
turned to his nostrils. This operation
is repeated indefinitely.
Finally, he is much less at the
mercy of the rapid currents which
are so common under the surface
The effects of strong currents
upon a vertical cable are to drag the
diver up TO a higher level and make u
sharp kink in his cable and hose This
danger is eliminated by the air lock.
for the latter can be lowered to the
level on which the diver is to work,
making all his connections horizontal"
