I was very pleased with the entire Voice procedure operation
a.round the world. I thought they did 8J1 excellent job. We
didn1 t have a:ny problems at all. They were quiet when they
were requested to be during our sleep period.

They were outstanding.

They were outst&nding, yes.

The voice tape recorder operation was fine. There were
no hitches as far as operating the voice recorder. It was
easy to, well, that's three feet of change.
We used mostly
the CONTINUOUS mode rather than the MOMEN111A.RYa
I used
MOMENTA.RY when we just wa.nted to m&ke a comment.
As a. mat­
ter of fact, I think the MOMENTARY position does save a lot
of voice tape, because you dontt have it on and forget it.
However, we had a procedure with the voice tape that was
going to record the quantity of urine that was dumped.
And
this led us to leave the voice tape on quite a long time
when we weren't doing anything or saying anythin~-and using
quite a bit or tape.
I think that i t would be helpful if
we had some sort or a little light of some sort to let you
know that t he tapes on. When we have a flow meter which was
being evaluated for future flights and might be a standard
piece of equi pment then it would certainly be nice to have
