aXX_r_c_o_TPMBK (ui LM/LEM construction, verso hand-annotated, no. 802084)
The amazing design and engineering is apparent in this revealing view of an unidentified LM/LEM under construction at Grumman's Bethpage, Long Island facility. Pretty much an engineering marvel, even by today’s standards.
Note the piece of paper taped to the descent stage, visible between the outrigger to the right, with the handwritten “-Y”. A subtle reminder not to accidentally say, attach the “-Z” strut here.
There is another LM/LEM in the background to the upper left. Note what appears to be its spherical red fuel 'bladder'. Possibly LM/LEM-1?
This photograph is featured on page 46 of "Building Moonships: The Grumman Lunar Module", by Joshua Stoff. Unfortunately, the associated text is generic and doesn’t identify the vehicle.
