The chamber is, of itself, buoyant and sinks because of an attached ballasting weight which can be jettisoned if the cable breaks. There is constant telephonic communication with the surface ship.

Bathysc&phs Since the completion of the prototype bathyscaph FNRS-2 in 1948, bathy- scaphs have remained the only operational untethered deep ships, so that somewhat fuller treatment is accorded them here. The FNRS-2 of A. Piccard successfully completed an
