“MUSICAL” TOWER.—The accordion-like devices surrounding this workman are targets for the lens of an underwater television test rig to be lowered beneath the surface. The system, designed for use by deep submersible vehicles, is being calibrated for the loss of light in water. The “targets” vary in size from 18in to 4ft. The tests being completed at Fort Pond Bay, Montauk, New York, use a “transmissometer” lens which is shown here being polished.
