Bathyscaphe For Piccard-Cosyns Deep Sea Diving Expedition: The bathyscaphe, which is in two parts, which Professors Auguste Piccard & Max Cosyns will use when after arrival in the Gulf of Guinea off the West Coast of Africa - they will make the greatest deep-sea diving test in history. The lower sphere is an air-tight cabin from which the two men will observe ocean life. Above is a float of reservoirs which will be filled with 7,000 gallons of aviation fuel. It is seen aboard the 4,000-ton steamer "Scaldis" be before departure from Antwerp for the expedition.The Piccard-Cosyne expedition is of much scientific importance, for the man who made the world gasp with astonishment 17 years ago by going up 10 miles in a balloon, will enter the steel bathyscaphe with his partner Cosyne - and descent 2½ miles into the black depths of ocean, 9/10ths of which has been hitherto unexplored. September 13, 1948.
