154 camera and we di d stow the 17 mm lens and the 18 nnn lens and the 75 mm Hasselblad. We did not stow the urine receiver there . We stowed that up where it had started out in the left side food box. We did stow the mirror sight there and we did stow the r i ng sight and we did stow the 18 voice tapes. Now the 18 voice tapes cartridge holder was entirely unsatisfactory. We had to take the 18 voice tapes and take them in groups of three and wrap them with tape so that we had something that was a little handi er to work with than stuffing that box. Cooper Yes , that thing is just too big. Conrad We stowed them in groups of three in that box, but we got it all in there and the reason we didn't get anymore in was that that box was still half full of food . Matter of fact, you didn ' t hardly get below the level of the lid. Cooper I got just to the bottom level of the lid. Conrad Yes, there was a good three days worth of food left in that box. Everything else went where it was supposed to go . Except we only stowed two 16 mm film bags in the center compartment and I left two in the original right hand box because they were not exposed. We spent so much time in drifting ,eawflQEblJlALI ·•
