A detailed look into the canvas bag of the tauchretter .

 
The Dräger tauchretter was stored and carried in a canvas bag  called tassche mit reissverschluss , or pocket with zipper .
  The bag was made from a heavy canas material called sail cloth and could be a brownish color or this author has seen a grayish color cloth , but as of yet never a yellow color bag . The bag was constructed of a single heavy layer of canvas with a non magnetic zipper that went half way around the outer edge of the bag . The metal zipper was edged in a black material and had the maker logo ZIPP  on the metal zipper pull tab . Along one side of the bag was a flat single layer of tannish brown leather . The handle was affixed on one side with 2 steel rivits and the other side was free sliding in an unpainted steel retaining sleeve .
      On the inside of the bag was a small canvas bag with a single steel closing snap on the front of the flap . This small accessory bag was attached to the larger carrying bag by a small canvas web strap sewn into the inside of the tauchretter bag . Half way down both sides of the interior and continuing all the way to the very bottom of the bag is a tannish brown synthetic type of material . This synthetic material is very brittle and today can crack with ease ! The purpose of this material is to act as a reinforcement so the metal parts of the tauchretter could not wear a hole through the bag and also to act as some protection to the contents of the bag from objects hitting the outside of the carrying bag . This lining was sewn onto the canvas and one can see from the outside , mid way down from the zipper a long horizontal line running the entire length of the bag .
  With the bag empty and flat the dimentions are approx. 380x370 , when the bag is fully loaded it is 300x300x120 mm .
