15. Active Section Construction • Each hydrophone group has a special handling spacer and clamp to ease hand retrieval and limit skin stretch

16. Active Section Construction • Floatation is added to the interior of the streamer to maintain neutral buoyancy in such a narrow diameter filled with relatively heavy silicone oil

17. Active Section Construction • Floatation is captured in tubular netting to restrict movement and eliminate noise • Nylon tie wraps are used to connect the floatation to the Vectran to ensure they ‘move’ under load

18. Active Section Construction • Bird spacers are affixed with epoxy and pins so they won’t slip

19. Active Section Construction • Service loops are left in both the wiring and the floatation netting to ensure that the internal elements flex without damage under load.
