Canadian Self-Contained Diving Equipment Performance Tests.
Abstract
The experiment evaluates the performance of a modified Mine Recovery Suit under various working conditions to a depth of 99 feet. The outfit consisted of a hunchback canvas lightweight diving dress with an integrated facemask having a hinged faceplate. A Mine Recovery Suit (MRS) breathing apparatus supplied breathing medium to the facemask by means of a venturi jet which metered the supply and provided recirculation of the breathing medium through a carbon dioxide absorbent. A neck yoke breathing bag provided a reservoir for high breathing rate demands. (Author)
