Would like to know as much about the Ryan Lunar Module Landing Radar lucite display. Can you explain, cordwood circuitry and any other info on the display itself? Thanks!

Another one from the X-33 program and a slightly different Owens Corning Apollo 11 presentation, with the Beta cloth fully trimmed.

Anyone know anything about the piece inside this lucite. It's about 1" long by 5/8" dia., looks to be stainless, and has a through-hole that appears to be threaded. The UA 1205 was the SRB for the Titan IIIc.

Is the hole threaded on both ends or just one?

Do you think both those Apollo beta cloths done by a private individual or company? Noticed both have no company logo on them, just look like the Owen-Corning ones. Do you know the origin? Thanks!

Not exactly sure of their origin, but they both have the same green felt feet as the Apollo 11 version with the Owens-Corning logo. So that may tell us the lucites were made by the same third-party but intended for different distribution.

Just to be "accurate", the Mars Rover piece is glass, I believe (not lucite).

Yes, it's glass and pretty heavy. Some of the others also were glass or crystal.

Really cool 1960's Westinghouse NERVA fuel element lucite, especially with Congress funding a new $125 million program for a nuclear propulsion engine.
