The article wrtten in the same magazine by Jarrod and myself says how we do it.
In the artcile by JJ and me, Bowen's graphics mostly correctly depict
the markings but incorrectly depict the stage rig. In our rig, the band
goes about mid-tank, and the pressure guage is on a 6" hose bent back on
itself . The reg hose has a clip on it.
Where it is incorrect is that we do not use the word "MOD" on the
tank, and the oxygen also has 20 on it, but only has the word oxygen
since in the English system 20 and 70 could be confused. In metric, the
word "oxygen" is unnecesssary.
