The text, done in 1977, reads: "Between 1968 & 1972, the 'Exoskeleton Change Project', codenamed ECP, was one of the closest kept secrets in the US. Though the principles remain very touchy about the subject since the project's termination, some information has surfaced which adds new dimension to this 'sensitive' program, the heart of which was the basic ECP. Here then is its early history. Measuring a mere 3.7cm overall, ECPs were powered by the Merganser & Hood 'Feather Fan' micro-turbo jet...While the 'Feather Fan' gave the ECP module an amazing range, the weight of the drive package plus the bulk of the avionics bay left very little 'brain payload'. ECP units always performed admirably at their given tasks. Beyond the minimum, however, the ECP units often became confused & disoriented. Some flew aimlessly, while others carried out their primary tasks with fanatical, often suicidal, zeal. From this it was found that additonal 'growth' would be necessary.

I can't imagine why they didn't like it... (Particularly now that it's almost true.)
