Air-bearing-pad principle, combined with monitoring system of the air-bearing force, prevents damage between electrical and mechanical connectors joining a large engine system to the test stand during remote mating. Pad provides a cushion between engine and test stand.
Testing device monitors continuity and resistance of each circuit, it includes springloaded stationary fixture which holds plug, and moving fixture which is driven by small electric motor and is geared to mate and unmate connector 10 times per minute.

Electrical connector is described of zipper-like configuration, in which sequentially interlocking tines serve as electrical contacts or insulators.
Fabrication is described of waterproof electrical connector assembly for use with Teflon jacketed cables and constructed so that assembly will remain sealed under extreme environmental conditions. Conditions are specified as: pressure from vacuum to atmospheric; temperature from 280 K to 450 K; exposure to saturated steam; and steam suddenly introduced into vacuum.
