Watching an old (circa 1958) Perry Mason episode last night, and got quite a surprise. The setting for much of the program was an Atlas missile production factory (Convair?), and there was video of several launches, with what looked like the MK series war head.
They mentioned Vandenburg AFB in the dialogue. During the factory footage they were gimbaling the two outboard (booster) engines in a test procedure. Was a fascinating time warp back to the late 50s.
