That is right but the last couple of dqs we turned dollll the

before you can feel it.
Lovell
Just to regress here one minute.
When I was out of the suit
and Frank was in it, we put my suit flow to .i'ull decrease

suit. I was not uncomfortable with the full decrease flow
in the cockpit.
Borman
The humidity in the ca.bin was higher with the suits off.
It W&s a much more comfortable cabin. Your skin di dn't get
dry, and the nose problems we ha.d the first 3 or 4 cla3"s went

I am not sure that we ca.n contribute this solely to
beina' out of the suits or whether it was the fact we were
becoming more acclimated to the 100 per cent o:r:ygen.
Lovell
We have some accurate figures. I believe thou&h, that with
suits on the humidity-temperature ra.nge w&s &bout 20 degrees
difference. With the suite off they went a.round 10 degrees,
