 | | Siebe Gorman had a number of local offices Neptune Works, Chessington, Surrey, England and an experimental wing in Surbiton |
 | | On deep diving experiments, he wrote: So as to avoid unnecessary risk to human life, it is our practice, before testing any new system of deep-diving or decompression on men, to make preliminary tests on animals. The most reluctant experimental subjects are baboons, which truly resent being confined in chambers, and scream furiously when incarcerated. |
 | | 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. |
