Abstract
A number of free instrument vehicles have been designed and tested. These are simple, reliable, inexpensive devices that transport recording instruments or sampling equipment to the deep-sea bottom, or to intermediate depth, and return them to the surface. Vehicles are provided with radar reflectors and other location devices. In the first tests the vehicles bore fish traps and were successfully operated to 2,000 fathoms. Other instruments designed to make use of the free vehicle's unique capabilities are under development.
