The sign accompanying the G4C suit. It reads
Gemini G4C Space Suit
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 space suit.
This extra-vehicular activity adanced the role of the Gemini suit from a backup
to a prime system.
