Abstract
Deep Submergence Research 1 November 1962 - 31 December 1963
During the above period the Deep Submergence Research program at Woods Hole oceanographic Institution has centered around the procurement of ALVIN, a two man submersible designed for a 6,000 foot depth, and the necessary adjuncts to the same. The progress of the design and construction of this craft is given with emphasis on the testing and inspection rather than engineering details. An outline of the acceptance testing planned for the completed vehicle is included. The instrument system to be used with the vehicle is discussed, as is the necessary support equipment. Reports on model tests preformed during this time, including a collapse test of a one-sixteenth scal model of the ALUMINAUT, are referenced but not discussed in detail.
