	Blue Plaque for Augustus Siebe [Historical Diving Society]
		Augustus Siebe (1788-1872) the German-born inventor acclaimed as "the father of diving", has been honoured today (7 September 2000) by an English Heritage blue plaque outside 5, Denmark Street, London WC2, his home from 1830 until his death.
		Siebe's 'closed' helmet was bolted onto a modified diving suit based on the open helmet dress, with divers receiving air from a pump on the surface.
		Siebe won numerous medals at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the 1855 Paris Exhibition, and was elected an Associate of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1856.

		He suggested to dress the diver in a full dress (instead of the short jacket) and attach the dress to the breastplate by means of 20 bolts.
		In 1840 Siebe gear was used by him and his divers in a salvage operation on the Royal George at Spithead in England.
		On April 15 1872, Augustus Siebe died in the age of 84 in his house in Soho, London.

		Siebe Gorman Ltd was a British company which developed diving equipment and breathing equipment and worked on commercial diving and marine salvage projects.
		It was founded by Augustus Siebe and his son-on-law, Gorman.
		Davis recalls that the baboons used by Siebe, Gorman and Co made every attempt to escape their fate, including one that climbed to the roof rafters and refused to be tempted back to the chamber by offerings of food.

		The success of Augustus Siebe (1788-1872) in developing early diving apparatus was a result, of his ability to construct diving helmets, and his established expertise in the manufacture of pumps; the production of the first practical diving apparatus, in the 1820s, was a result of improvements in air pumping and helmet technology.
		Siebe’s force pumps were of the highest quality, and gradually there arose a demand for more powerful and efficient machines.
		In 1885 siebe Gorman’s chief diver, Alexander Lambert, was sent by the company to the Canary Islands, and the wreck of the Alphonso Xii.

	Medals of Siebe Gorman and Heinke (Historical Diving Times No. 18)
		The cases were taken to the Siebe Gorman factory at Cwmbran in the early 1970s and placed in the museum there, and the originals are now in the keeping of Siebe PLC.In the 1960s Siebe took over their long-standing rivals Heinke, and the two companies were merged.
		In contrast, it would appear that only two Siebe Gorman medals are known to have gone missing, and a copy of both are still represented in the facsimile case.
		The medals held by Siebe reflect the long history of the company, the diversity of its manufacturing, and the individual engineers and entrepreneurs associated with it.

		With a copper helmet made by Augustus Siebe, the Deane brothers modified the fire suit for underwater use.
		At about this same time, Augustus Siebe (Prussian but living in England), was developing his own open diving dress.
		Siebe is generally considered the father of the closed diving dress but he most probably was using information from the Deane brothers and George Edwards as well as others (please refer to John Bevans article in the Historical Diver, Numbers 3 and 4, 94-95).

		One of the first such successful devices was created in 1819 by the Anglo-German inventor Augustus Siebe.
		Based on the principle of the diving bell, it consisted of a leather jacket fitted to a metal helmet into which air was pumped from the surface through a flexible hose.
		The modern closed diving suit, essentially the same as one introduced by Siebe in 1830, is made of rubberized fabric.

		The official credit for the invention of the diving dress is usually given to Augustus Siebe working in England in the early 19th century.
		This is a misconception however, since Siebe was really only a collaberator and manufacturer for the dress invented by the brothers John and Charles Deane in the 1820's.
		Augustus Siebe developed the concept further and the archetypal Brass helmeted "Deep sea diver" became the standard of the underwater industry.

		Although general credit for this innovation is given to Augustus Siebe, according to one source the Deanes had invented it first, and Charles Deane had sold the patent rights to Siebe.
		Siebe, however, is given credit for the "interrupted thread" on helmet and breastplate, whereby the helmet can be locked in place by giving it a "half twist" (actually one-eighth of a turn).

	[No title]
		The first truly self-contained diving dress is credited to Englishman, Henry Fleuss, who, in the early 1870's, had perfected an oxygen rebreathing apparatus consisting of a cylinder of oxygen compressed to 30 atmospheres and a flexible bag between which was an oxygen regenerating device to absorb the expired CO2.
		lthough both practical and functional, divers making use of Siebe's diving dress remained dependent on the surface and were restricted in their ability to explore underwater by the umbilical air hoses and safety lines.
		he history of modern diving, properly begins, however, in 1819 with the patented invention, by Augustus Siebe, of an open helmet to which, in 1837, he added a flexible dress.

	History and Development: Chronology of the Heavy-Footed Diving Suit
		In 1819 Augustus Siebe invented the first diving suit with “heavy-footers”.
		A metal helmet with portholes; a cramp-iron, which passed between diver’s legs, supported the tightly-attached helmet; air was supplied by a surface pump through a hose; unneeded air bubbles went out the helmet because of the constant flow of air through the hose;
		Siebe was aware of that problem and in 1837 he improved his device.

		Siebe borrowed his idea from diving bells, the undersea marvels of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
		Siebe proved what his invention could do between 1834 and 1837 by repeatedly sending his partner, Charles Deane, sixty-five feet down to the bottom of England’s Spithead Harbor in an open suit.
		Siebe’s system was already much improved by Bill Dwyer’s time, but diving in the 1880s was still a far cry from diving today.

		Siebe's initial contribution to diving was a modification of the Deane outfit.
		Siebe sealed the helmet to the dress at the collar by using a short, waist-length waterproof suit and added an exhaust valve to the system (Figure 1-5).
		The diving equipment developed by Charles and John Deane, Augustus Siebe, and other inventors gave man the ability to remain and work underwater for extended periods, but movement was greatly limited by the requirement for surface-supplied air.

	deep-sea diving: History
		Augustus Siebe devised the first practical diving equipment early in the 19th cent.
		The diver had to maintain a generally upright position; a fall could result in drowning because the air in the suit was likely to rush out through the vents.
		To correct this difficulty, Siebe later developed the closed type of diving suit that, with improvements, is still in general use.

		Siebe's diving dress consisted of a waist-length jacket with a metal helmet sealed to the collar.
		In 1837, Siebe modified this open dress, which allowed the air to escape, into the closed type of dress.
		Siebe's diving suit was tested and found to be successful in 1839 when the British started the salvage of the ship Royal George, which had sunk in 1782 to a depth of 65 feet (19.8 meters) (Larson 1959).

	Submex - The Infernal Diver - a history of the diving helmet
		Before the publication of this book, it was widely and erroneously believed that Augustus Siebe was the inventor of the standard diving helmet.
		Siebe himself never claimed to be the inventor but with the passage of time and the recognised excellence of his manufacturing standards, Siebe's name superseded that of the true inventors, John and Charles Deane.
		The Infernal Diver reinstates the Deane brothers as the inventors of the diving helmet and traces their lives from humble beginnings in east London through their sea-going careers, their invention and development of the diving helmet and dress, and their subsequent underwater exploits.
