Jim,
Good hearing from you. Think that WR was flite Barb & I timed at West Baden. Then we were going to take off but had to stick around to calibrate those old mechanical stop watches. Really impressive machine, climbing at 28rpm. How about a stretched version?
Say, was wondering how they measured the 10 deg cooling on the T-shirt. One way would use extra tight collar so body would attain ambient temp (room temp).Web site indicated some fancy polymer donuts that turned perspiration into evaporative cooling. They are scheduled to hit the market Spring 2013 for $60 (each). A bit late for 2012, unless beta versions are available.
I've been Desert Rat so long my blood is thin enough that warming shirt has more appeal. 50yr ago I overheard some geezers having lunch outdoors in May when temp was in 90's. They were looking forward to summer when it would get warm enough to get out and do things. Now I are one.
Thanks, H

The Starwalker is the big 'D' job that held the absolute world record for 15 years - before Tan II came along. It still holds the Cat III world record. The original one has expired from old age.
