A televiSion setup which allows
deep sea divers to look before they
dive has been developed by the
Navy to lessen the hazards and
difficulties of underwater work.
The Navy revealed the new de-
velopment last night in telling OF
an underwater TV camera to let
divers know what kind of job and
what dangers they are headed fol-
before they descend. Experts had
been at work on the project fol
three years.
The specially designed TV sets
apparently are considerably ad-
vanced over the standard COM
mercial television equipment con-
verted temporarily by the Brit
iSh navy, and with which it
located and identified the long
missing submarine affray off the
English coast last summer.
Actually, the United States
Navy made its first experiment
with underwater television at the
1916 Blkini atomic experiments.
according to an announcement
by Rear Admiral Homer N. Wal
lin. chief of the Bureau of Ships.
A televiSion camera lowered from
q ship to depths up to 180 feet
picked up images of objects as
far as 80 feet from the camera
lens. Admiral Wallins said.
One of the chief values of the
new equipment, he said, will be
to reduce the time needed for
underwater exploration of a
sunken ship or repair work.
In deep water, the time a diver
can spend on the bottom is only
fraction of the time he needs
to adjust the pressureS within his
body to the changing pressures of
sea depth-decompression. Thus,
If a diver is going down in 2O4
feet of water to spend from 20
to 80 minutes on the bottom an
additional time of "a minutes must
be allowed for decomposition as
he ascends by slow stages.
With the new television equip
ment, which has remote controls,
much of the preliminary explora-
ton work by the diver will be
taken over by the camera. Men
