General

Information on reels themselves is sparse:

Some of the Karex tapes say "NEW silverchrome TWO!" and other say "'Silverchrome 2' KAREX VIDEO TAPE"

The "edited tape" was stored between 529 and 530 but has nothing written on it to indicate whether it has anything to do with either dive.

According to the Alvin dive log, dives 518-523 were cruise LU-70 leg 2C and dives 524-530 were LU-70 leg 03; all of them list chief scientist J. Heirtzler, location Mid-Atlantic Ridge, purpose FAMOUS geology.
