...Torpedoman Edward Kalinowski climbed through the escape hatch. He released a cork buoy attached to a life line, the other end of which was fastened to the submarine. Then grasping the life line he ascended. He was followed by Lieut. Charles B. Momsen, co-inventor of the mechanical "lung" (oxygen mask) with which both were equipped. The two men ascended 20 ft. at a time and then rested, holding the life line to keep themselves from bobbing quickly to the surface and meeting death from the sudden change of pressure. From 160 ft. they rose in 13 minutes, from...
...from the marine underworld. To the face of each was attached one of the new Momsen-Tibbals "lungs"-a mask like device with nose-clip, mouthpiece and two flexible tubes to a pouch worn on the chest. The pouch contains soda-lime, to absorb exhaled carbon dioxide, and compressed oxygen for inhalation. Over the head fits a caplike helmet with waterproof goggles...

...treadmill and lic still on a couch, show that the athlete's blood changes less than that of the ordinary man in motion. The acidosis of De Mar's blood remained static while running at an average rate of 5.8 miles per hour, when he consumed 3.5 liters of oxygen per minute and kept a pulse rate of 101. For comparison a non-athlete in the same test consumed 1.5 liters of oxygen a minute, keeping a pulse rate of 192, and lowering by half the acidosis of his blood...
...Henderson suggested a scientific method of breaking the record for a given race. "If," he said, "one were to place the record holder in an oxygen tunnel, arranged so that one could adjust the air supply reaching the runner's lungs, it would be possible to eliminate one racing difficulty; breathlessness and subsequent fatigue. Then, if one could arrange a little flag so that it would run around the track at a steady speed just a little higher than the average speed of the previous record holder, and instruct the runner to follow the flag exactly, one would eliminate another...
