‎ Seule édition de cet intéressant ouvrage pour l'histoire de la plongée sous-marine. C'est une étude sur les ouvriers qui travaillent dans une cloche à plongeurs, les "tubistes". Foley décrit des accidents de décompression qui affectent les ouvriers quand ils sortent de la cloche : des démangeaisons qu'ils nomment des "puces", des douleurs musculaires, des hémorragies de la bouche ou du nez... L'auteur, polytechnicien et médecin, soignait le personnel des travaux du pont d'Argenteuil. Il n'y a pas eu de paralysie ni de mort parmi ses "tubistes". Son remède : bain de pieds et vin chaud. Etonnant, non ? Illustré par une jolie planche dépliante. Des rousseurs, plus marquées en début de volume. Envoi de l'auteur à sa fille (petite déchirure). /// Grand in-8 de VIII, 136 p Demi-chagrin brun à coins, dos à nerfs, tranches marbrées. (Reliure de l'époque.) //// The only edition of this interesting work on the history of underwater diving. It is a study of workers who work in a diving bell, known as tubists. Foley describes decompression accidents that affect workers when they leave the bell: itching that they call fleas , muscle pain, bleeding from the mouth or nose... The author, a polytechnician and doctor, treated the workers building the Argenteuil bridge. There were no cases of paralysis or death among his tubists. His remedy: foot baths and warm wine. Surprising, isnt it? Illustrated with a beautiful fold-out plate. Some foxing, more noticeable at the beginning of the volume. Inscribed by the author to his daughter (small tear). /// PLUS DE PHOTOS SUR WWW.LATUDE.NET‎
