This IV or intra-vehicular glove was made for Stuart Roosa, Command Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission in July, 1971.
It was constructed with a bladder, dip molded from a hand cast of the individual's hand. The interior had an inner restraint core of nylon tricot which had been dipped in a neoprene compound. A convoluted section was incorporated into the wrist, with anodized aluminum connectors for attachment to the spacesuit. A fingerless glove restraint was attached to the bladder at the wrist and enclosed the entire hand excluding the fingers and thumb.
