<p>A connection system for connecting external devices (10) to a streamer (16). The connection system comprises three outer collars (12A, B, C) maintained collinearly aligned by a stabilizing member (29), such as a lightweight, rigid tube, attached to each outer collar (12A, B, C). The tube (29) extends parallel to the bores of the outer collars (12A, B, C). The forward and aft outer collars (12A, C) ride on races formed on the periphery of inner collars clamped around mounting structure in the interior of the streamer (16). An external device (10) is attached to the forward collar (12A) and to the intermediate collars (12B), which does not ride on an inner collar. The spacing between the forward and intermediate collars (12A, B) is fixed by the standard spacing of the two attachment points in standard external devices. The spacing between the forward and aft collars (12A, C) is set by the specified spacing of mounting structures in the interior of the streamer (16).</p> |
