This is Volume I of III of the Gemini VII voice communications transcript, covering pages 1 to 337 and marked Confidential. It records air-to-ground, ground-to-air and on-board exchanges beginning at lift-off. Early passages cover staging, orbit insertion and stationkeeping with the booster, which the crew reports is venting heavily, and they photograph it. Later passages near 116 hours hold the crew's detailed descriptions of airglow, stars and a sunrise seen from orbit.

## CONFIDENTIAL 49:32:19 CC Gemini VII, Houston. Flight Surgeon would like to have a brief discussion with you at this time regarding the EEG leads. 49:32:29 C Roger. 49:32:32 CC Okay, Gemini VII. This is the Surgeon. We've checked with the experimenter and we would like to get the answer to one question, Frank. Did the electrode come off with your helmets on all the time, or did you have it on so that it came off during sleep with your helmet on, or after you were taking your helmet off? 49:32:54 C The lead came off while I had my helmet on. It was loose when I had my helmet on. It caught on the back of my neck. The lead between my helmet and the harness caught on something and pulled very badly, and one of them came off while I had the helmet still on. 49:33:08 CC Roger. I copied. 49:33:10 CC Okay. That's fine. We'd like to have Jim try to reapply this if he can. And here are some instructions that you can use for trying it with the kit that you have there for applying the electrocardiogram electrode. If he can clean the area with a wet wipe and then dry it. Clean the electrode flange, being careful not to put any tension on the other electrode. Then slightly underfill the electrode with paste. Take one of the Dermical tapes, cut it to size to that electrode, and then apply the electrode. Then cut a small square of Dermical tape and cover the electrode with that square of tape. Jim will have to hold his hand for a little while over that to just heat-seal the tape as we did when applying the electrocardiogram electrode. 49:34:17 CC Did you copy all that? 49:34:20 P Roger. I don't think this is my job description but I'll do it. 49:34:24 CC We'll have to redo your job description. We'll give you a job when you come back, Jim.
