Apollo Crew Harness Assembly

This is an Apollo Command Module (Block II) crew restraint harness assembly. I guess you could call it a seatbelt!

It consists of two brown nylon shoulder straps interfacing with the restraint harness buckle, plus two additional brown nylon restraint straps with metal brackets at the ends.

One strap bears a sewn-on parts tag, reading: "Item Name—Harness Assembly, Restraint Crewman, NAA/S&ID Control No.—ME 901-0257-0023, Date of Mfr. Sep 13 1966, Manufacturer—Hardman Tool & Engineering Co., Hardman Serial No. 202308TE2059, Hardman Part No. 102935-1."

The first image is the inside of the Apollo 11 Command Module showing where the harnesses are located. The second image is the harness from my collection.
