EXAMINATION OF HEAD AND CHEST LOCATED TACTILE INFORMATION FOR INFANTRY WAYFINDING

A heating system including a hollow body having a part of a low pressure and low temperature heating circuit therein. The hollow body has a plurality of parallel juxtaposed fluid channels formed by a pair of spaced thermoplastic wall members connected by webs to form the channels. A plurality of the channels are connected to an inlet manifold and to an outlet manifold whereby the flow of fluid in said channels is parallel over substantially the complete area of the wall members.
