  SIEBE GORMAN DIVE HELMET CA 1910 AUTHENTIC
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 perfected the design of his new diving suit during the salvage operations carried out between 1840 and 1843 on the warship HMS Royal George, sunk in 1782.
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.

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.
Tanks were constructed for training both at the Siebe Gorman works in London and the Royal Navy base at Portsmouth, where new recruits were instructed in the diver’s ‘art’.

Augustus Siebe (1788-1872) was a crucial figure in the development of early helmet diving, manufacturing the first 'open' helmets for the Deane brothers in the 1820s and later patenting the 'closed', or Standard Dress apparatus.
Though a wait of nine, as in the case of the Siebe plaque, was not unknown.
Siebe’s first closed apparatus would also have been produced here, and it is certain that the property would have been visited by many of the famous figures in diving history.

While Brumark could not overturn Siebe Gorman, some doubt was cast in the judgment about its effectiveness where a chargor company was permitted to deal freely with the proceeds of the book debts as a matter of fact.
On January 15 2004 the vice chancellor held that Siebe Gorman was wrongly decided and that he was not bound to follow that decision.
The decision in Siebe Gorman was correctly decided and should be distinguished from the Privy Council decision in Brumark.

If you find that by the charge it is contemplated that, until some future step is taken by or on behalf of those interested in the charge, the company may carry on its business in the ordinary way as far as concerns the particular class of assets [the court is] dealing with.
However, Siebe Gorman relied on the intention of the parties, by reference to the wording of the debenture, and not what happened in practice.
Siebe Gorman was wrongly decided on the facts because although the debenture referred to a blocked account, the bank did not in fact exercise any control over that account.

This was based on the case Siebe Gorman and Co. Ltd v Barclays Bank Ltd [1979] ("Siebe Gorman").
The Privy Council found the Siebe Gorman type of debenture, used in Brumark, to be inconsistent on the basis that the distinction between disposal and collection of debts was artificial.
This conflicted with the ruling in Siebe Gorman that the terms of a Siebe Gorman Charge constituted a restriction on how the Borrower may deal with the proceeds of the book debts.

 Sir Robert H. Davis F.R.S.A. Hon Dsc., Birmingham University
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.

The rubber mouthpiece was adopted from Heinke when Siebe Gorman bought them out in about 1962.
Although the Mistral was of a poorer quality in construction, especially with the large elbows that often bent the case when knocked, in my opinion it is probably the finest to breathe from compared to the French and the US models.
Siebe Gorman improved the Mistral right up to the early 70’s with minor alterations such as a plate between the diaphragm and duckbill valve and strengthening of the high pressure port.

The bank tried to persuade the Law Lords that if they were going to overrule Siebe Gorman they should limit the impact of the decision by holding that it would only have prospective effects.
It was natural that banks and other lenders taking security from corporate borrowers should have modelled their security on the debenture form that had achieved success in Siebe Gorman.

 Financial Collateral Arrangements: The Impact of the New Regulations
The effect of the Privy Council's decision in Brumark [2001] 2 AC 710 was that, notwithstanding the fact that a charge over book debts was stated to create a fixed charge, it took effect as a floating charge where the chargor retained the ability to deal with the book debts and their proceeds.
The relevant clauses of that debenture were in substantially the same form as the one in Siebe Gorman.
In summary, this case confirms the analysis in Brumark and rejects the approach in Siebe Gorman.

As a result of this operation it may be said that Augustus Siebe came to fame and his closed diving dress became adopted by the Royal Engineers and later by the Royal Navy.
He owed much to the Royal George and because his backgound was as a jeweler and chaser one of the things he produced to commemorate this event was this special chalice.
After his death in 1872 Augustus Siebe left his company to his son Henry Siebe and his son in law William Gorman and the company was renamed Siebe Gorman & Company.

The High Court ruled in Re Spectrum Plus Ltd that Siebe Gorman was wrongly decided.In Re Spectrum Plus Ltd the bank applied for a declaration that its charge created a fixed charge over the company’s book debts and their proceeds.
The Court of Appeal held that in Siebe Gorman style debentures the key issue was whether the restrictions imposed on the use that the chargor could make of the proceeds of book debts was sufficient to create a fixed charge.
In the Siebe Gorman case the judge had been entitled to conclude that the charge on book debts created by the debenture was a fixed charge over the book debts because the debts were not to be disposed of prior to collection and on collection were required to be paid to the bank.

The Privy Council then considered the series of cases beginning with Siebe Gorman in which fixed charges (as opposed to assignments) were considered.
The judgment states that Siebe Gorman and Re Keenan merely introduced an alternative mechanism for appropriating the proceeds of the debts to the security.
The Privy Council judgment appears to refer to the accounts in both the Siebe Gorman and Re Keenan cases as "blocked" accounts (although it is not entirely clear on this point).

Then special helmets were designed that had an air supply pumped from the surface down a hose attached to the helmet.
This idea was developed further to incorporate a suit and in 1839, Augustus Siebe successfully tested the first surface-supplied air helmeted diving suit.
Some surface-supplied air diving is still carried out today, though the majority of divers now use scuba gear (scuba stands for 'self-contained underwater breathing apparatus').

The appellant bank (N) appealed from the decision dismissing its application pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 s.112 for a declaration that a debenture granted to N by the respondent company (S) created a fixed charge over the company's book debts.
The crucial issue was whether the restrictions imposed by a debenture in the terms of the debenture in Siebe Gorman on the use that the chargor could make of the proceeds of the book debts were sufficient in law to create a fixed charge.
The judge in Siebe Gorman would have been entitled to conclude that the charge on book debts created by the debenture was a fixed charge because the debts were not to be disposed of prior to collection and on collection had to be paid to the bank itself.
