. The bathyscaph Trieste : technological and operational aspects, 1958-1961. Trieste (Bathyscaphe); Bathyscaphe. Before describing the sphere's systems in detail, it is desirable to indicate the interior layout. The inside of the sphere is divided into six bays. Bay No. 1 includes the entrance to the sphere, the hatch, and the seat for the scientific observer. Bay No. 2 houses instrumentation, some power supplies, and the underwater telephone. Bay No. 3 is the pilot's operating panel with most of the controls and instruments necessary for operation. Bay No. 4 contains the primary observation w

Bay No. 3 is the pilot's operating panel with most of the controls and instruments necessary for operation. Bay No. 4 contains the primary observation window, the camera mounts, the manometer pressure gauge system, and the air revitalization system. Bay No. 5 contains, in one half, operational controls such as lighting circuits and Fathometer and, in the other half, scientific instrumenta- tion. Bay No. 6 is entirely free for scientific instrumenta- tion. The bathyscaph is actually equipped with two spheres: (1) the original or Terni sphere which was part of the craft as originally delivered, and (2) the Krupp sphere which was purchased a few months after the craft had been re- ceived in the United States. The Terni sphere can withstand. Sphere, exterior view 13.
