Aoki) This is kind of a bizarre request, but here goes .. US submariners are issued different glasses than most Navy personnel -- very expensive gold-rimmed John Lennon jobs (the American Optical Sampson P-3). The point of this is that these glasses can be worn inside of a breathing apparatus in case of emergency. This is usually an air-hose mask (EAB? EBA?), but I've also heard that it will fit inside of an OBA (oxygen breathing apparatus) mask. The OBA is a chest-pack version of the "oxygen candle" (chemical oxygen generator) that is most often used in fighting fires. I know there are ex-submarine folks out there. Will these things fit inside of OBAs? -- Paul M. Aoki aoki@postgres.Berkeley.EDU uunet!ucbvax!aoki
