A dress not
unlike
An unuaual
feature of Tasker’s design, which indicates his care for details, is
the provision of four ropes, leading through eyes formed on the
trunk and legs of the dress, and designed to support its weight
while being lifted, Thus removing the risk of the leg joints being
torn open by the weight of the leg armour itself. The air-pipe
consisted of two concentric pipes, one for the supply and the other
for exhaust, and the leg ropes were brained round the outer pipe so
as to form a single flexible unit.

Tasker proposed to use a metal dress articulated with bellow joints, and to
cover the whole with an external waterproof flexible dress of the ordinary
pattern.
