Love the old TV.s. Looks like something from Archie Bunker's living room in
this high tech site.

This image shows a small part of the Wind Tunnel 16T Control Room during
a test of space capsule recovery systems in the late 1950s. All of the
controls and instrumentation were still analog. The left panel
contained the controls for the flexible nozzle that could cover the
range from Mach 0.5 to 1.6. The right panel controlled the compressor
system. I'm the Project Engineer, adjusting the TV system. I even had
hair in those days. Note the Speed Graphic and bag of film holders
above my head. The gentleman in the foreground was the General Electric
engineer on this test.
