ABSTRACT:
An assembly for use in seismic surveys of the sea bed is towed behind a vessel and comprises groups of seismic signal transmitters which are towed through the water, being suspended from float buoys which are combined to form one body which may be formed as a sleeve having limited flexibility. The body is formed with a head member shaped for reducing resistance to the water, and connected to a coupling point for a tow wire to the vessel, which point lies forward of the head member and at the same depth as the transmitters.
