ISS-Quest Airlock observation(labeled)

Hi all,
Labeled version of the Joint Airlock(Quest)with the wider Equipment Bay
and the Crew Compartment.As this Crew Lock is around only 2 metres wide,
it's a good chance to see what is 2 metres in the image,see labels.
Though note that due to shading effects not the entire width is visible,making it
appearing a little more elongated.Thus,the marked 2 metres is a minimal
marked distance(actually its wider in the image).
The Crew Lock is the part which is depressurised to a vacuum so that
the spacewalkers can exit the Hatch.The wider Equipment Lock is used
for the preparations(like putting on the Spacesuits)
Many thanks for the interest.All interest and every single reply is much appreciated!
