Guys, In discussing this K1000 project it was mentioned that FedEx/Kinkos and other places could scan blueprints...I think. Would a Staples/Office Depot also be able to scan things this size??? Would it be easier to upload photos of my designs this way rather than using a camera and taking a photo of the sheets? -----Original Message----- From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org [mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of Brian V.

VBT's are "hard" tanks with which you can more accurately control your neutral buoyancy regardless of depth. The last time we talked, we assumed the outer tanks were VBT's that were probably used to provide buoyancy to lift objects off the bottom. Assuming you have enough buoyancy without them on the surface you can still use them for extra lift even if they are open to the water. You can also dive without a VBT but you'll have to compensate for different diving conditions (number of people on board, equipment on board, etc) by adding/removing weight on the vessel some how. Are you back in Boston? Same place? Jon Brian V.
