Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull sizing

["Thijs Struijs" <thijs-struijs@planet.nl>]

David,

I once made hoops out of plastic tubes in the size of a pressuresphere. I
joined them togethet with tape. With a little wood I made a seat and sat on
it. It give you a good idea of the size. An other advantige of a mockup is
that you can determine where to place the viewports. Make some rings in the
size of the ports and tape them on the hoops. You can also determine where
to place your instuments. And last but not least: sit in it for an hour and
feel your muscles and bones.

Greetings,

Thijs Struijs
