EXPLORING THE SEA BOTTOM IN A DIVER'S SLED

The diver's sled is still another interesting German invention. It is a sled provided with vertical and horizontal rudders, which is towed by means of a motor-boat at the surface. The diver, seated on the sled, and provided with a self-contained diving-suit, can direct the motor-boat by telephone and steer his sled up and down and wherever he chooses. And so without any physical exertion, he can explore the bottom of the sea and hunt for wrecks.
