At this time I had certain things that I
had to accomplish .
I had to mount the camera
on the back of the adapter, and mount t he
umbilical guard on the edge of t he door . I
elected, as I had pl anned , to go ahead and mount
the camera f irst and then the umbilical guard .
I mounted the camera and it went on without too
much difficulty.
The t hree little lugs on the
bottom are a good mounting scheme.
I think I
would make a littl e easier engaging device for
working out in a hard suit.
I had familiarity
with it, and it did lock up there all right .
The umbilical guard for the umbilical on the
side of the door took me a little longer to
mount.
Back to opening the hatch--I had the
thermal gloves on when we were opening t he
hatch, and because of the fine work I had to do
with the little gain and the drive lugs up
there, I had to remove the thermal gloves so
thtt I could actually actuate those small
l evers.
I couldn ' t do them with any precision
