In 1999 our team set out to improve our Space Ageo' Solar Blanket We understood that by decreasing the space between cells, we could increase the insulation factor. New templates were created and Diamond Bubble0` was bom. Shaping the cells like diamonds instead of circles decreased the space between cells and increased the insulating effectiveness. And after all, diamonds are a girlos best friend. rvd+) fl u LF Air r Orr copy n SCANNED BY t.
