Scope and content

SZ would like more details of the protective air-raid shelter suit Ruskin is developing. However, Ruskin is misinformed about SZ's work on sponge rubber vests. These garments protect animals at low blast pressures but no feasible amount of rubber could protect against the blast pressures which are dangerous to humans.
