Switches and circuit breaker panels.
We had a coupl e of
cases knocking of f circuit breakers. We did have one fuel
cell control ci rcuit breaker pop on us twice.
Lovell
I am not real sure i t popped.
I don' t know whether I hit
it ina.dvertantly twice.
Borman
No, you didn't.
The second time I watched it pop.
Other than that, I thought the switches and circuit panel s
were well located.
I think it i s very important that we
have those guards on there, particularly with changing suits.
Lovell
The fuel cel l switches, the power and control switches,
should be LIFT to move switches.
They should be over center
locks that you have to lift to move them up.
There was a
guard over i t, but still it was so easy to reach up there
and hit those things.
I was always worried about throwing
the control switch of f, which would have really foul ed up
the fuel cells.
Borman
You mean like the squib switches? ...
Lovell
Yes, like the squib switches. I think that is the way they
ought to be ~ecause you never touch them unless deliberately.
