From Russ Fortson - Johnson Space Center EMU....sc

I recieved these scans from Russ Fortson last night and have also posted on Time Zone Omega Forum. Scroll down to the bottom of the full scan, there is a large white space between scans.

"These are pages from a Johnson Space Center (JSC) manual on the EMU suit (EMU=extravehicular mobility unit, or “space suit”). I’m still looking on original test reports, but things weren’t quite so documented 35 years ago. I have talked to some people at work that were at JSC during these tests, but no one remembers them. I need to find a “watch person”, but I haven’t really run into anyone like that."
