Wet Bell Diving Operations and Emergency Procedures

Handling System

The handling system may consist of a crane, but a system framework and dedicated winching system are typical. The winch should be classified as “man-riding” and equipped with two brake types. It can be operated manually with a joystick (up/down). The braking system must be independently tested every six months. The cable must be of the non-rotating type and visually inspected every six months. The management system should also incorporate a secondary method of raising the bell to

Existential Constructions and Their Properties

Existential Constructions

Existential constructions (ECs) are derived from simple sentences that contain an indefinite subject (Su) followed by existential Be and an adjunct of place or time (AMP). They are produced by moving the indefinite Su to a post-verb position and by inserting the expletive pronoun ‘there’ in the initial Su position. The resulting construction has two subjects: a grammatical subject and a real (logical) one.

[Some students] are [in the hall] > There are some students in
