1. On command " One "

press down both thumbs between the

satchel and the body and open the satchel flap. Immediately

seize the mask with the right hand, the metal breathing tube

just outside the mask being in the palm of the hand and the

thumb and first finger grasping the wire frame of the nose clip.

2. On the command " Two "

bring the mask smartly out of

the satchel and hold it in both hands with all the fingers outside

round the binding, and the two thumbs inside, pointing

inward and upward under the elastic. At the same time throw

the chin well forward ready to enter the mask opposite the

nose clip.

3. On the command " Three "

bring the mask forward, digging

the chin into it, and with the same motion bring the elastic

bands back over the crown of the head to the full extent of

the retaining tape, using the thumbs.

4. On the command " Four "

seize the metal breathing tube

outside the mask, thumb on the right, fingers on the left, all

pointing toward the face. Push the rubber mouthpiece well

into the mouth and pull it forward until the rim of the mouthpiece

lies between the teeth and the lips and the two rubber

grips are held by the teeth.

5. On the command " Five "

adjust the nose clip to the nose,

using the thumb and first three fingers of the right hand. Come

smartly to attention.

Hi Mike.

Isnt it strange that the German chief scientist who helped develope all those terrible gasses that they used was awarded the Noble Peace Prize just after the war.

Andy, I will have to look that up, but I can well believe it, after all we know what the noble Nobel invented?

Cheers Mike
