more dark-age systems which I have mentioned have been used and 

 this use has been limited. 



We need moorings with conducting cables; we need reliable 

 (that word again) electrical and mechanical connections to the 

 instruments in the moorings and to the surface floats, cables, and 

 ground tackle. We need well-engineered parts for these systems, 

 and I think this is a place where Industry, with its excellent 

 engineering experience, can make a really significant contribution 

 to oceanography.
