From page 47...
... Changes may be introduced to lengthen or shorten the tolerance time but unless something is done to prevent inevitable loss of body heat, there comes a time when intolerance appears. Exercise and additional clothing may be but temporary expedients and do not necessarily prevent further heat loss or restore the heat already dissipated.
From page 48...
... The proposed differentiation may be applied generally and should not be restricted to any one field of testing, such as ccld-room or hot-room testing. It may be applied in fields already explored, such as cold, heat, fire, poisonous and obnoxious gases, decompression sickness, diminished oxygen pressure, mechanical trauma, fatigue, dietary deficiency, exposure and immersion, among others.
