Damper (Term)

An invention of Mairis Farris to replace the retainer.
(Source:  Index card file, Operation High Time --- http://www.simegen.com/sgfandom/rimonslibrary/oht.html)  Looks like bottom half of a sleeve, with a strap that fastens below the elbow and a loop that hooks around middle finger.  Material hugs one lateral, cutting off "field sensation" --- all other tentacles left free.  When used with an attenuator, would give any sime reasonable comfort in presence of Gens, even when there is skin contact.  Digen does get it on the market in Sime Territory within a month
