I have a sign that has "Restricted Area - For Access Please Contact MMC Safety" printed on it.
I have looked through many books and web sites but can find no definitive answer.
This sign was installed at KSC and acquired in the Bell auction.
Some possibilities I have come up with are:
Martin Marietta Corp
Mission Management Center
Manned Mission Control
Missile Management Center
Mercury Mission Control

My choice is the last but I could be totally wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Vince

Hello Vince:

It depends how old your sign is????

Most likely it is Martin Marietta Corporation. But i could be wrong.

There is no date on it but I would say it was made in the 60's? It is on an aluminum plate that has corrosion underneath the paint or covering. Does this help?
