Hello everyone,I was wondering if someone could help me with information on an Apollo era Lock Observer Suit. The Collar tag reads: Lock Observer Suit BW-1000-001 Contract NO. 97720 Size: 40 Long S/N: 1113 Date: 4/4/68 B. Welson Co., INC. I appreciate all your time, help and information. I have a few pictures if needed. Again thank you. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1803125 [Edited by blueangels1 (December 29, 2006).] |

Hi,I've done some document digging for you and I'm pretty sure this is what you have - Designed for use by the manlock observers in the LTA-8 thermal vacuum tests of the LM. You can read all about it here -

Hope that helps, Matt
