CapCom: "Okay Jack. The next, the next step is a, to stop up the bypass
hole, which is the hole in the center of the bottom of the canister, we
want to stop that up, because we don't want to bypass the flow, and I

that you either use a wet wipe or cut off a piece of sock and stuff it
in there or you can probably even crumple up some tape and use that,
over."
Swigert: "Okay we'll start plugging up the bypass hole."
CapCom: "Okay."
Swigert: "(on board) We got to plug that hole, we can either, we can put
some, he said, what about a piece of your towel there?"
