I'm usually pretty good at researching odd stuff, but I've met my match here.

A collection of sleeves, braces, gloves, and shirts, mostly made with a mesh or netting material, ibe shirt has an MTA Linear String Potentiometer attached to the arm, and the only info I have is a NASA Inventory sticker that says "R2 Prototype Shirts."

The forearm glove part looks similiar to a GM robotic glove spinoff made in 2011 but cannot find an image or any text that remotely alludes to what this was, or what is we used for. I really appreciate anyone who gives any input on these items.

All times are CT (US)
