Interim seat - The First Seat. A 1950’s Weber design, incorporating a pyrotechnic lap belt release system, probably of MA-5 or MA-6 -type, and an automatic parachute-opening assembly in a BA-18 parachute back pack. The catapult was of M-3 type, later to be replaced by the MK-1 rocket/catapult. No Zero-Zero ejection capabilities and pilots were told no Ground Level ejections at speeds below 120 KEAS and if possible always eject no lower than 2000 feet. Built by Weber as a derivative of the seat used in the F-102 Delta Dagger interceptor.
