>>10315977133:03:08 Bean: Okay. In this kind of pack you could almost drive it without a hammer; but, if you’ll hand it (the hammer) to me, I’ll…
133:03:11 Conrad: Yeah, just a second.
133:03:14 Bean: I want to take a couple more shots (that is, photos) of this before we leave. (Pause) There. (Pause) Okay.
133:03:28 Conrad: Get it all the way in (and) I’ll get the pictures.
133:03:30 Bean: All right. (The sound of hammering is audible) It’s driving in real easy, Houston.
[Bean – “I didn’t know that (they could hear the hammering in Houston)!”]
[Conrad – “That’s neat!”]
[Bean – “Coming through my hand, I guess…”]
[Conrad – “Yeah, it’s coming through your hand and getting into the air in the suit and it’s transmitting all the way (to the microphones).”]
[Bean – “Isn’t that something.”]
[Jones – “Now, you had the Snoopy helmets on over your ears.”]
[Conrad – “Yeah, but the microphones are out here (in front of their lips). I never heard that before, either. You can hear you hammering just loud and clear.”]
[Bean – “I would have said it wasn’t possible.”]
Conrad - "The other guy can't hear it. Did you hear yourself hammering?"]
[Bean - "I don't remember. I was so concentrated...The problem with hammering is that...Well, I'm a good carpenter, but you can't come straight down (with your arm in the suit). That's why they made the hammer bigger and everybody used the side. You can't do a nice smooth swing. You get it going (straight down) and then the cable cuts in and moves it over. So you try to adjust your swing and then you miss. Lot of missing."]
