“APOLLO TRAINER—The Apollo Mission Simulator crew station, including the optical system which will supply the "out of the window" views, located in Building 5. The AMS is a primary training system which will prepare Apollo astronauts for flights. Standing nearly 30 ft. high and weighing approximately 40 tons, the simulator is designed to familiarize Apollo crews with equipment, crew tasks, mission procedures and emergency flight situations. The trainer is expected to be operational by May 1, 1966.”

 

A neat photo, despite being 'defaced' by whatever news outlet long ago.
