                 C. LESSONS LEARNED:      SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
           SIX SCOTT AIR PACKS WERE ORDERED AND RECEIVED. WE ARE ABLE TO
           FILL THEM TO ABOUT 2100 PSI USING THE )QOSPITAL AIR COMPRESSOR
           (2216 RECOMMENDED MAX). HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME DISADVANTAGES OF
           SCOTT AIR PACKS OVER MSA AIR PACKS. WE HAVE FOUND THAT,
                 (1) THE FACE PIECE ON SCOTT DOES NOT SEAL WELL.
                 (2) THE WAIST BELT TAKES LONGER TO FASTEN AND LOOSEN.
                 (3) THE ENTIRE UNIT TAKES LONGER TO PUT ON AS THE REGULATOR
           FASTENS OVER THE COAT.

INCLUDE 6 MSA 30 MINUTE 2216 LIGHT WEIGHT AIR
