This electrode system for electrocardiography and impedance pneumography is an extension of the one used on Project Mercury, Detailed description is given of the manufacturing procedure for the silver‐silver chloride electrodes, for the preparation of a non‐irritating electrode paste and for the application of the electrodes. Tests were made on 21 subjects up to 90 hours. Only nine electrodes failed during the entire test during which subjects engaged in active sports, bathed, etc. Irritation of the skin was minimal.
