The sign by the display. Even though the sign is for the "Prototype Cover Layer" (which I take to mean the ITMG), the sign is in front of the TLSA.

The sign reads:


SPACE SUIT FASHIONS

MODEL: A7-L Prototype Cover Layer
MATERIAL: Nomex, aluminized mylar, nylon
CONDITION: Never been worn
STYLE: Apollo

Is the outside of your suit getting a little worn? This prototype cover layer will make your suit look like new. Built during the design process for the Apollo missions, this Nomex suit was a test to see how sections of the suit would be joined together. A good cover-layer protects astronauts from the extreme temperatures of space as well as micrometeorite impacts.
