Bottom indicator. [underlined]
A pinger circuit will be put in a cylinder for timing a transducer at about 1 or 2 pings per second. This will be listened for from the surface with a tuned amplifier and a loud speaker. When the bottom is hit, the angle of the device will change and a mercury switch will turn the pinger off.
