  Title: STS-57 MS2 Sherlock operates RMS THC on OV-105's aft flight deck
  Description:
  STS-57 Mission Specialist 2 (MS2) Nancy J. Sherlock operates the remote 
  manipulator system (RMS) translation hand control (THC) while observing 
  extravehicular activity (EVA) outside viewing window W10 on the aft flight 
  deck of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105.  Positioned at the onorbit 
  station, Sherlock moved EVA astronauts in the payload bay (PLB). Payload 
  Commander (PLC) G. David Low with his feet anchored to a special restraint 
  device on the end of the RMS arm held MS3 Peter J.K. Wisoff during the RMS 
  maneuvers.  The activity represented an evaluation of techniques which
  might  be used on planned future missions -- a 1993 servicing visit to the
  Hubble  Space Telescope (HST) and later space station work -- which will
  require  astronauts to frequently lift objects of similar sized bulk. 
  Note: Just  below Sherlock's left hand a "GUMBY" toy watches the actvity.
