Some of the tests seem to involve servicing of the Lunar Module's descent propulsion system (aka lunar module descent engine). The spacesuit shown at :27 appears to be an Apollo SPD-143, also known as the Apollo Developmental AX1-L, made by ILC Industries starting in 1963. (ILC stands for International Latex Corp., based in Dover, Delaware.). A second suit is used at 3:47, looks similar to a rocket fuel handlers suit such as that used with the Titan missile. It's probably a Navy Mark IV. The goal of these tests was to study how different suits and gloves affected dexterity with simulated tasks, such as using a tool (possibly a ratchet or wrench) at :28, or loosening a hose connection at 1:14. At 4:16, the test subject assembles an electrical switch and uses a ratchet at 4:30 to tighten it down. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
