COMMENTS:

I worked for General Motors AC Electronics Division in Milwaukee. AC managed the production and support of the inertial guidance systems for the Apollo service module and the lunar excursion module.

AC and GM are not on the list of companies – but should be added.

I participated in activities starting at MIT in 1963 through Apollo 12, returning to the Cape to witness Apollo 17.
