UPenn unit plans buoyant life suit fundraiser
Members of United States Base Hospital No 20 at the University of Pennsylvania intend to buy a buoyant safety suit for all 250 personnel. Maj. J. B. Carnett says a $9,000 goal will let wearers stay in water indefinitely. The fiber lined upper body provides buoyancy while lead-lined feet keep upright, and the suit can be donned quickly with practice. A pocket holds stimulant deterrents, per the Philadelphia North American.
