[i]MITCHELL: I discovered this at that point — I don't know when it occurred — my right glove wanted to move to the left and down whenever I relaxed pressure on it. In order to move it back to normal working position, it took a great deal of effort. Anytime I'd relax, it would snap over to that position. It caused quite a bit of a problem during EVA-2. It limited to a great extent the amount of things I could do with my right hand without tiring. I could do most anything but it was just slow and tedious to do it. Outside of that, there was no other major effect of the glove problem. We brought back the glove. You just have to look at it and see what the problem was. Yes, after I said broke I wasn't sure that's what I really meant. I didn't know what had happened to it, but it was not performing as it should have.[/i]
[i]Purpose: To investigate operational difficulties experienced with the Lunar Module Pilot's pressure garment assembly. Tests performed: Inspect gloves for possible wrist cable damage. Perform pressure garment assembly evaluation of suited pressure with Lunar Module Pilot. Results: No wrist cable damage was found. The problem was duplicated in a test with the Lunar Module Pilot suited. Test not complete.[/i]
