...Westinghouse's Cachalot consists of a pressurized "dormitory" and a diving bell that is lowered from the side of a barge to as far as 600 ft. below the surface, carrying divers in a pressurized chamber. Under water, the divers can emerge through a bottom hatch, work outside from two to six hours, then return to the diving chamber. Still pressurized, the bell is hoisted back on deck. There it is attached to the roomier dormitory, where the divers can eat and sleep, still under pressure, before returning to the depths. Using this system, Cachalot divers can work steadily...
...size and ability to descend to great depths with Deep Diver's capability of discharging and retrieving underwater divers. The 40-ft., 50-ton craft can operate at a depth of 8,000 ft. with a crew of four and is designed to carry a Cachalot-type chamber that can accommodate four additional divers in its stern compartment. It uses spacecraftlike water-jet thrusters to hover in place and can tilt itself some 30° fore and aft and 10° sideways-useful for settling gently on an underwater slope. Deep Quest's two manipulator arms can each...
More complex submersibles are on the way. Lockheed is building a DSRV, or Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle, which will operate at depths as great as 20,000 ft. and be equipped with a pressure chamber large enough to handle four divers. DSRV can be flown to the site of distressed submarines or other submersibles, where it can descend and mate with an escape hatch on the sub, allowing the stranded crew to come aboard...
...time served as conductor of the Bombay Symphony. Little wonder, then, that Zubin says he was "brainwashed with classical music from the cradle." He had his own record player when he was two years old, later crouched wide-eyed in the corner during his father's lessons and chamber-music rehearsals. With his retentive memory and faultless ear, he was soon whistling Paganini caprices in the original key while riding his bike or playing cricket...
...town that boasts the home offices of Eastman Kodak and Xerox, Rochester, N.Y., has a lot of candidates for a winner of its Salesman of the Year award. This year, though, the Chamber of Commerce passed up the boys with the order books and reached into the Rochester Roman Catholic Archdiocese to hail Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 72, for his "outstanding job of selling Rochester to the country, to the world and to itself...
