To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, however, is not all, for a safety device is attached whereby, in the event of anything going wrong with one or more of the valves regulating the air-supply between the cylinders and the helmet, the diver is able to obtain the requisite amount for breathing independent of the valves, and any ex- cess of air that accumulates in the dress escapes automatically.
With this dress the ordinary weighted boots are required to make the diver sink, and also the lead weight worn on the breastplate, b...ut the usual back weight is dispensed with, as the steel cylinders and caustic soda chamber are, in themselves, heavy enough to compensate for its loss.
The complete freedom of action which this dress allows a diver when moving about under water is, of course, its most useful feature. When clamber- ing over obstacles or making way up the flooded heading of a mine, the absence of the "drag" of an air-pipe not only makes the actual task much more easy of accomplishment, but also considerably 98 The Pipeless Diving-dress reduces the risk of accident* With an air-pipe behind him, which grows more difficult to drag with every yard of progress made from the base, the diver is never sure that some sharp projection may not sever the hose, or falling debris flatten it, and so cut off his air-supply almost before he is aware of it Again, should the pipe only become entangled, the diver may experience great difficulty in freeing himself in the pall-like darkness of a flooded mine or ship's gangway.
