 i assume you mean the gauge shape on the outboard
 edge of the pilot's viewport (port side). That isn't
 a gauge. It is a mechanical (push pull cables) thruster
 angle indicator.

 The external gauges are likely for the
 hydraulic system (pump, manipulators, etc.) pressures, as
 these would have no reason to be plumbed into the personnel
 sphere, and would represent a risk of contaminating the
 atmosphere in the event of a leak / spill. 

 I did a lot of ROV projects in which
 mechanical gauges were similarly placed within a camera
 field of view. Much simpler and cheaper to piggyback on the
 video versus signal conditioning a transducer and sending
 that measurement separately up an umbilical.

 Hank, Please check out

  Hi Hank

  Maybe of interest - I have attached some pix of

  Pisces 8 without her clothes on - 

  Cheers Keith Gordon

  Sean,By

  all means, anyone is welcome to any drawings I obtain or
 map

  from the Pisces.    I actually already

  have material price to machine the hatch from a solid
 disk

  of 516-70N  this way it is one piece with no welds.

   I just need the drawing first to order the

  disk.Hank

   I'd be

  interested in having a look at those drawings.  The

  idea with a

  conical bearing face on a hatch,

  if you are not trying to establish a

  metal-to-metal seal, is to provide a load path

  through the hatch itself

  to carry the shell

  stress that would otherwise require heavy

  reinforcement around the hole.  Thus,
 the

  "ideal" hatch would be the

  same

  thickness and curvature as the shell it is replacing,

  aligned to it

  so the load transfers straight

  through, with a flange on both the hatch

  and

  shell parts to create a substantial bearing face.  The

  conical angle

  in that case would be set by

  the hatch diameter, as the ideal interface

  angle would be perpendicular to the shell at

  every point.  I suspect

  that in

  practice, the cone is exaggerated beyond that, because

  we're

  talking about very small angles on

  larger spheres - on a PSub, perhaps

  it is

  more important.  The other advantage is of course the

  self-centering.

  Dr Nuytten thinks he has
 detail drawings

  that he is willing to share

  with me, if

  he can not find them, he has given me
 permission to

  measure

  one of his Pisces in the bone

  yard.   I may have a look for myself even

  with drawings, just because I am
 a visual

  guy- if I see it I can make

  it.  

  Besides, how fun is a day at the Nuytco bone
 yard :-)
