Interesting Speedy Stuff

Some cool info from the "Time capsule" book.

- The 321 was the work of Albert Piguet.

- Shock test specs were 48g's +-2.

- High pressure test was exposure to 23.5 psia for a minimum of 1 hour.

- Gordo Cooper kept his Speedy in a Bulova box for safe keeping.

- Decompression test: Placed in a chamber with pressure reduced to max of 1.47x10 (to the minus fifteenth)

Great book, incredible pictures!
