The recording instruments are made up of two seismic traces, two constant gain amplifiers and a two‐channel sosie processor which performs the decoding in real time by using the actual transmission times supplied by a captor located on top of the vibration‐rammer's plate. An idea of the possible penetration is given by the recording of a velocity survey. Other results obtained in seismic reflection and refraction are given. %U https://www.earthdoc.org/content/journals/10.1111/j.1365-2478.1976.tb00952.x
