    Technical progress report : advanced marine technology 1 August 1973 - 31 January 1974
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1974-05-15) Ballard, Robert D. ; Hays, Earl E. ; Hess, Frederick R. ; Marquet, William M. ; McCamis, Marvin J. ; McElroy, Paul T. ; Winget, Clifford L.
    Contrary to the statement in the previous progress report (WHOI-73-92) we have decided to issue the final technical reports on Submerged navigation, Hydraulic Impact Hammer, Deep Sea Rock Drill and the Self Contained Ancillary Modular Package (SCAMP) as separate reports. These are underway in various stages and will be issued as completed. This six months has seen successful use of the navigation system in direct and surface bounce modes, testing of the "lock on" system of SCAMP to an ALVIN model and steady progress in the Modular Acoustic System.

    Technical progress report : advanced marine technology 1 February 1973 - 31 July 1973
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1973-12-01) Ballard, Robert D. ; Maxwell, Arthur Eugene ; Davis, Ray E. ; Eliason, Andrew H. ; Hess, Frederick R. ; McCamis, Marvin J. ; McElroy, Paul T. ; Marquet, William M. ; von Herzen, Richard P. ; Williams, David L. ; Winget, Clifford L.
    This report covers a period which finds several of the projects nearing completion. It is expected that the next semi-annual report should contain final technical reports on Submerged navigation, Hydraulic Impact Hammer, Deep Sea Rock Drill and the Shelf Contained Ancillary Modular Package (SCAMP). It is possible that extensive testing and use of SCAMP will not take place until next year. The responsibility for these worthwhile equipments then shifts to the users, who in most cases has been intimately involved in the development. The Submerged Navigation system continues to attract much attention both within and without the Institution. Delays in the fitting and testing of ALVIN in the Titanium hull configuration has slowed the field work with ARPA developed equipment bu the next six months should contain considerable work.

    Technical progress report : advanced marine technology 1 February 1974 - 31 July 1974

    The navigation system previously reported on is currently (July 1974) being used by ALVIN in a study of Mid-Atlantic Ridge as part of Project FAMOUS. According to all reports the system is a most important factor in making the project successful so far. Engineering design, construction and testing are the main efforts in the subjects summarized below with more detail later on.
