DEVELOPMENT OF EMERGENCY BREATHING APPARATUS

Abstract

An emergency breathing apparatus developed at the U. S. Navy Mine Defense Laboratory is de scribed. The apparatus will permit crew members to submerge with the aircraft and make an un hurried, safe, underwater exit. A 15- minute breathing supply is provided in a lightweight, compact, simple and easily maintainable package, which can be used by almost anyone after a short period of instruction.
