spheres are so attached to the belt
that they may be slid around the
belt and placed in any desirable po-
sition
The spheres are six inches in di-
amcter and will sustain a weight of
800 pounds. The entire weight of
the preserver is four pounds, while
those i'm use on the various ocean
going boats weigh twelve pounds.
