Abstract
An adaptation of the sound pinger designed by Edgerton to position an underwater camera for bottom photography has been used to monitor bottom coring operations with a Stetson corer. It is found that the pinger portrays the whole procedure in considerable detail, including the triggering of the corer for free-fall at the bottom. Cores have been taken successfully in water depths of 1912 and 2635 fathoms in the Ionian Sea.
