they didn't know where to put those valves and
it's only got three valves on it. It ought to be
made much simpli er than it is .
I think they
should get that squared away before the next
flight.
F,d and I knew where we wanted it. We
wanted it off and the other two switches in
NORMAL and leave it alone.
That's what we flew
with.
That's the way it ought to be fixed .
We can get canned , though, for not flying with it
in the right position by the checklist .
It
didn't say that on the checklist
Every check
list we got was different .
That ' s right! Fach one was different .

we decided we were going to do it as w.e did and
left it thr ough out the whol e flight .
Evel;'y­
thing worked fine .
We had ECS briefings by a
mul titude of peoples from MAC
including the
guys who designed it. Everyone of them dis­
agreed , It probably started out to be one of the
simplest things in the whole spacecraft.
By the
time they got t hrough confusing us with it, I
got the feeling nobody knew what was s_i,,.pposed to
happen to it.
I consider this the most danger­
ous of all.
