Lot 18
A homemade open diving helmet with single lamp:, 8 inch window with 3 inch lamp above, shaped shoulders with rubber hose attached to prevent rubbing, rear air inlet and hook, two vacant fixing apertures to the front 65cm high * Anthony Pardoe comments - The interesting part is the light above the window. We understand the helmet was used in a mine in North Carolina, which if flooded would have nil visibility. In these conditions the light would have been absolutely essential. The power for the torch type lamp came from the terminals inside the helmet, which possibly had wires going to it from a switch in the larger hole beneath the window. The power would have come from a battery or from the surface with the wire attached to the air line. There are no fixings for weights, therefore the diver would have worn a weight belt. The small hole on the lower front of the helmet possibly had a fitting onto which a jock strap was attached, passing through the legs and onto the hook on the back. see pages 20-21, vol 1, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.
