Happy 40th birthday Vector 1

[riggerrob 558]

Forty years ago, Relative Workshop introduced their Vector 1 harness-container. It was one of the first containers with a single ripcord pin and set the standard for all later containers. Along the way, Vector was up-dated with a stronger pilot-chute spring (Vector 2), electronic automatic activation devices (Cypres 1991), hip rings (mid 1990s), a new closing sequence (Vector 3 mid-1990s) and "Skyhook" main assisted reserve deployment (circa 2000).

Hi Rob,

And, anyone who says that there is a limit as to what one can do via a Minor Change does not know what they are talking about.
