I got to work for several months as a bench tech for an outfit building the first pair of the then smallest tv cameras in the world.

Later I found out that one of those civies was Jacques Cousteau,

3 hours later had a contract to put those two cameras on the Trieste as soon as we could get the pressure cases built. Those were headed for the bottom of the Challenger Deep, 37,000+ feet in the big pond. Short story, we did, and they worked.

And I think Gene wins. Bravo! That's a cool story.
