 fouling the camera cable with the net, otter 

 boards, and towing warps. To prevent foul- 

 ing, the amount of slack in the camera cable 

 must be held to a minimum as it is being 

 payed out or hauled back. The use of a pro- 

 peller guard is advisable to reduce the 

 possibility of fouling the cable with the 

 vessel's propeller.

 cable which makes it possible to control 

 the amount of slack in the cable and to haul 

 back quickly in case of emergency (fig. 10). 

 The large-diameter winch head minimizes the 

 possibility of kinking. An intercommunica- 

 tion system between bridge and boat deck is 

 used for coordinating the handling of the 

 trawl 2md the camera cable. 



Aboard the Albatross III the cable is 

 handled from the boat deck at the stern 

 where it is stored in a large open box which 

 provides for easy removal and replacement. 

 This arrangement also prevents damage to the 

 cable which might occur if it were allowed 

 to lie unprotected on the deck.

Recording Techniques 



Photographic recording of our tele- 

 vision image is accomplished primarily with 

 a standard spring-wound, 16 mm. motion- 

 picture camera operated at 24 frames per 

 second. Use of a standard motion-picture 

 camera results in the condition known as
