locations in New market and vicinity Basically the camera travels through the pipe to be examined and its eagle eye transmits a closeup picture of the interior to the operator who is seated In a specially equipped truck He in turn is in twoway communication with the operator of the travelling cable which actuates the camera He is able to stop the camera at any point where a closer examination is required The cable attached to the television cam era is graduated in feet and this again al lows the technician to pinpoint any trouble or deficiency in the construction To add clarity to the
