Subject: "Weird" Contamination Suits
I was interested reading the post about biohazard suits with air
apparatus attached to the leg. _Surely_ some more examples of
these suits can be unearthed. Are these devices in evidence
in the film (perhaps as bulges in the white fabric)?
A great deal of virtual laughter has greeted the idea of hardware
grafted into the leg/foot area of an anti-contamination suit, but
I find the idea more than plausible. Radio, etc. was a relatively
bulky technology in 1947 and the last place it would be wanted
would be filling the pathologists' helmets. The notion may sound
silly in our world of wallet-sized cellular phones and laptop
computers, but I don't believe it's near the cause for hilarity
that it's been made out to be in the recent past.
