Subject: Re: Re: C2 Counter Lung

Hi,Tony!

The weight is hanging downwards when you are on your back so it tends to pull 
the counterlung downwards, in effect 'stretching' it. The counterlung is 
actually shaped like the belows that you use to blow a fire, with a hinge at 
the lower end and the weights at the other end.
help this is of use. My mate has the book at present. i must get it back and 
will try to give more info if you need it.

Best wishes
