There is one mysterious feature. On the top of the pressure casing

Obviously :-) a porous plug which equalizes pressure when dry and does
not do so when wet.



Thinking about that....if the leakage rate is slow, wet or dry,
then that would work for a hydrostatic release container which might
sink 13 feet in less than say 30 minutes....
