Two Korean Vets Desnigl
Apollo Pilot's 'Harness’
■
Jr
Houston—Two Ex-Army ser-
geants who slogged through the
Korean conflict on their feet
have designed a system that
will require American astro-
nouts to land on the moon
standing up.
The two former Infantrymen,
now design engineers at the
NASA Manned Spacecraft Cen-
ter here, have eliminated seats
in the Apollo lunar excursion
module (LEM) in favor of har-
nesses.
Pilots aboard the LEM will
fly the spacecraft much the
same as trolley cars are djriven
here on earth.
naut point-of-view to cockpit
engineers, consider the "trol-
ley car configuration” a major
breakthrough.
“From our viewpoint it’s
ideal,” Conrad said. “We get
much closer to the instruments
without our knees getting in
the way, and our vision down-
ward toward the moon’s sur-
face is greatly improved.”
When flying the L&M pilots
are connected to the ceiling by
straps that attach to their pres-
sure suits; other straps anchor
them to the floor.
“This way,” Conrad added,
‘we can wear self-contained

more latitude in the design of
the LEM, and reduction of its
overall volume. And this means
even more weight reduction.
The LEM is being built in

ry about putting it on and tak
ing it off as we would if we
were seated.”
Franklin and Richard both
worked on cockpit arrange-
ments for jet aircraft before
coming to NASA’s Manned
Spacecraft Center.
Franklin, a native of Cali-

ard, 38, suggested the harness fornia, has bachelor of science
concept after investigating con- degrees in Zoology from Tulane
* ■ ■ — University, and in mechanical

sity of Arizona. Richard, of

tions” for the first Americans

to ride down from lunar orbit Sulphur, Okla., has a bachelor
to the moon’s surface from an
Apollo spacecraft later this
decade. •
Since LEM phots will spend
most of their time weightless—
and will probably not exceed
forces of one gravity (1-G)
during flight — seats are un-
necessary.
“This means the pilots can
stand closer to the window,”
Franklin remarked, "and a 1 -
lows us to reduce the window
area by 20 square feet.”
Astronauts M. Scott Carpen-
ter and Charles Corirad Jr., re-
sponsible for providing astro-
of science degree, in mechanical
engineering from Oklahoma
State University. Both served
in Korea during the height of
the conflict in 1950-51.
“We’ve come full circle,”
Richard laughed, “from stand-
ing up in trolley cars, to sitting
down in jets and back to stand-
ing up in spacecraft.” *
“I guess it’s the Infantry in
us.”
Rhinestones are. so named
because they were first made

Rayburn Dam
Power Savings
To Be $4 Million
Washington, D. C.—Electric
power contracts that will mean
an estimated saving of about
$4 million for Southeast Texas
and nearby areas in Louisiana
were signed here Feb. 13.
The power will come from
the new Sam Rayburn Dam on
ithe Angelina River, beginning
Lin the summer of 1965.
Southeast Texas Congress-
man Jack Brooks (D-Texas), a
principal worker in making the
contracts possible, said he was
delighted they would insure
“adequate power and tremen-
oy that I have been able to
lelp bring this about.”
This will be “a fine example
of cooperation between the fed-
eral government, private in-
dustry and locally owned and
operated municipal and coop-
erative systems since power
from the dam will be pooled
with steam-generated power of
Gulf States Utilities Company
for greater efficiency,” the
Congressman continued.

Episcopal Women
Hear Reports From
Annual Conference
The Women of St. John’s
Episcopal Church held their
regular monthly meeting last
Thursday night at the church.
Mrs. Tom Tennison Jr. gave
a report on the sixty-third an-
nual meeting ,of the Episcopal
Churchwomen of the Diocese
of Texas which was held in
Houston Jan. 23-25. She also
reported on the 115th annual
council of the Episcopal Di-
ocese of Texas which was held
at the same time as meeting
of the episcopal Churchwomen
Mrs. Lauriston S. Taylor pre-
sided in the absence of Mrs.
Roy V. Brown who is president
of the. Women of St. John’s this
year.
La., and to the Jasper-Newton
Electric Cooperative at Kirby-
ville and the Sam Houston
Electric Cooperative at Living-
ston.
Contracts were signed by the
Southwestern Power Adminis-
tration and the Sam Rayburn
Dam Electric Cooperative,
which then contracted to sell
power to the Gulf States Utili-
ties Company, which in turn
agreed to furnish power to the
local and cooperative systems
at advantageous rates.
Between 1965 and 1973, the
municipalities will realize an
estimated saving of $3,328,390.
For the Texas cities alone, the
savings in that nine-year peri-
od will total an estimated $2,-
946,676.
The savings will amount to
an estimated $933,956 for Jas-
per, $724,966 for Livingston and
$1,287,754 for Liberty.
The two electric cooperatives
will be guaranteed an advan-
tageous rate.
“For the people in these co-
operative areas, this will mean
an estimated savings of about
$60,000 to $100,000 a year,”
Brooks said. “A Southwestern
Louisiana cooperative can en-
ter this program in the future,
spreading the savings Into that
area too. 1 am proud and hap-
