Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›On Exhibition at the National Inventors' Congress in New York is this self-navigating diving device invented by Emil Kulik of Brooklyn. The device resembles a deep-sea monster. Its principal feature is that a man in it will be able to work for long periods of time without help from the surface, owing to the oxygen tanks carried within. Most functions that a diver is able to perform may be executed by two long interchangeable arms that extend in front of the apparatus and which are controlled from within the machine. The machine is 15 feet over all. It is widest and highest near the front where the operator sits.
