"First released photograph of the scale model of the lunar excursion module (LEM) proposed by the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. of Bethpage, New York. This is the vehicle in which Americans will land on the moon and return to a moon-orbiting Apollo mother craft. Grumman was announced on Nov. 7, 1962 as the company selected to build the LEM for the Apollo program."
Interesting to see Grumman's evolution of the LEM at one setting:
