The sign which accompanied the G4C suit.

It read


Gemini G4C Spacesuit

This G4C Type was developed for the astronauts of Project Gemini. One purpose of this project was to determine whether an astronaut could emerge from the 2-man spacecraft and perform useful work, protected only by his spacesuit. This extra-vehicular activity advanced the role of the Gemini suit from a backup to a prime system.
