A test chamber wasmade, but trials in controlling it against the effect of evena wind-chopped sea of moderate force proved the futility ofrapid and economical manipulation, and the idea of workingin the dry was abandoned. Had the apparatus proved suc-cessful it was proposed to place a reinforcement of nails,poultry netting and cement mortar, similar to that herein-after described for protecting some of the piles which wereplaced in the new construction.
