The man who said

"you can't take it with you"

was born a long time before Garrett started making life support systems.


  As a matter of fact, unless man does take his earthly environment with him into space, he hasn't got a chance.
  For here is a world that has no oxygen, no pressure, no gravity.
  To live and work for weeks and months in orbital flight-a need dictated by urgent space projects now in progress - man must have the most sophisticated life support system ever built.
  It has to provide him with oxygen, water, pressurization - complete climate control.
  It has to guard him against temperatures that range from near absolute zero to the re-entry heat of thousands of degrees.
  It has to be a miracle package.
  The question becomes: Who is now building such an environmental system?
  The answer is, of course, Garrett.
  As long ago as 1941, Garrett management saw that man could go no higher, no faster, without pressurization of aircraft. When Garrett's AiResearch division delivered the first systems, suddenly the ceiling was off the world.
  Today over 90% of the free world's aircraft carry Garrett environmental systems. Millions of hours of operation have been accumulated by heat transfer equipment, turbomachinery, controls.
  This experience led Garrett to build the life support systems that protected our astronauts on the recent Mercury flights.


  The same know-how is now at work supplying "shirtsleeve" environments for Gemini and Apollo. These systems will keep man alive for weeks in space.  Now longer flights are being planned­ manned orbiting laboratories and space stations.

Garrett already knows how to solve life support problems for months in space. Much of the system work is completed and components built.
  What are the reasons for this unique capability?
  The most experienced men are Garrett men. The most advanced facilities are Garrett. The only applied system for outer space is Garrett built.
  When the problem is environmental, the solution comes from Garrett because ...
Garrett
is experience
