a13_v_c_o_AKP (AS13-62-8945)

An excellent view from Apollo 13 Lunar Module (LM) Aquarius, looking across Command Module (CM) Odyssey's hatch during trans-earth coast. The "RESCUE" arrow below the window, across the hatch is legible, pointing to where "Tool B" would be inserted, and I assume turned, in order to permit emergency ingress/egress from outside the capsule. Also note the various hand-rails/holds protruding from the capsule and the two round RCS pitch control thruster nozzles near the base. The knob-like protrusion near the corner of the window is a purge port.
