The armoured deep-scu_diving apparatus may be compared in. it's working to a subniarino. It consists mainly of a rigid diving suit mado aluminium alloy, and "strongly resembles in appearance a suit of medieval armour. The greatest difficulty in inanufacturing the apparatus has been to make the Soints perfectly flexible, so that a man can walk easily, use his arms freely, and at the same time" be able to stand à pressure up to 25 atmospheres, which would correspond to the pressure of a depth of 750-ft. Practical use of the apparatus has been made up to a depth of 500-ft.
