Figures 6a, b, and c are the received video recorded during DOLPHIN's fifth pass 

 when she was at one-quarter test depth. Note the generally improved picture quality, espec- 

 ially the decreased graininess. It is not clear whether the decreased depth or a fortuitous 

 decrease, in lateral range accounted for the superior imagery. Some ghosting, evidenced by 

 faint vertical lines near the left edge of figure 6b, is apparent.

Figure 7 is gray scale received aboard MAXINE D and transmitted during SEACLIFF's 

 fourth transmission, when she was on the bottom at 3755 ft. Although this picture exhibits 

 sync problems and granulation, it is the best video obtained from so great a depth.

Figures 8a and b show live camera video sent from SEACLIFF from a depth of 2000 

 ft according to procedure C of Appendix A. Figure 8a is the picture as sent from the 

 SEACLIFF. It shows a portion of the SEACLIFF's sonar screen and electronics console and 

 was produced from the tape aboard the SEACLIFF, which recorded the locally generated 

 live camera video. Figure 8b is this same scene as received aboard MAXINE D. This picture
