Both types were constructed from 2-inch stretched mesh cotton webbing. Forty-foot 2-seam balloon trawls and 65-foot flat trawls were used in areas where doubt existed as to bottom con- ditions. Wooden chain doors (10x3 feet) and aluminum bracket doors (6x3 feet) were used to spread the trawls. An electromagnetic underwater log system was tested and proved extremely accurate in registering the vessel's speed through the water. Preliminary trials with this device indicated a wide range in optimum dragging speeds for the different rigs used. Mote: Also see (Jommercial fisheries Review, Dec. I960 p. 36.
