The monitoring unit is inside the sphere and can be equipped with a small robot-type camera so that pictures can be taken directly from the viewing scope. The primary advantage of this particular closed-circuit system is that it works with a very low power supply (24 volts dc). The camera functions well with a single 300-watt Edgerton lamp illuminating the sea floor in the vicinity of the camera. A pan and tilt head is planned for this uni

Mechanical Arm The electromechanical arm used on TRIESTE was constructed by General Mills Corporation, Minneapolis, Minnesota. This arm is capable of all motions of the human arm, but has only two fingers. It can cover an area 4 feet in diameter on the sea floor and is capable of lifting 50 pounds. The arm is intended for picking up selected samples from the sea floor. It is mounted beneath the forward shot tub where the operator of the craft can easily see it through the forward observation window. The con- trol box for the arm is in the sphere and consists of a. Mechanical arm stowed under forwarc ballast tub 23.
