Subject: Whose rebreather?
List readers: Here's an interesting "letter to the editor" which I found in
an obscure publication. It might make for a little bit of fun when posed as
a quiz. Here it is verbatim, leaving out the names. Can you figure out
whose rebreather this is?

"...I was very flattered to find that my picture was published in the
<snip> column. I did notice that the equipment on my back was referred to
as the Electrolung. This is not quite accurate. The lung I was wearing was
completely made by <snip> and me.

 Our lung has a digital readout of oxygen partial pressure worn on the
wrist. Besides having the PO2 readout we also have digital depth and
digital oxygen tank pressure readout. These three pieces of data alternate
on the readout, with another series of three small lights which indicate
which bit of data you are looking at. If any of your readers are interested
in corresponding with us to exchange ideas on the device, they can write:
<snip>."

 I'm entirely confident that *no one* will figure this one out! So let's
see some guesses!
