This glove was worn by astronaut Walter Cunningham during training sessions before the first Apollo mission. The glove is similar to the Gemini G4-C glove, and was used by NASA and given the A1-C designation as the style of glove to be worn to the Moon had not been decided upon at the time.

A-1-C gloves were designed for heavy duty service with an outer glove made of white nylon, as protection for the inner glove. 1.15 volt fingertip lights with independently powered 30 hr, 1.5 volt battery pack were attached to the first two fingers which were operated by moving a toggle switch on each hand.

Transferred from NASA to the Museum in 1973.
