“Atop the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s 365-foot-tall Saturn V facilities vehicle the Lunar Module [Command and Service Module] and escape tower are shown. Approaching the pad is the 415 foot-high arming tower being moved by a 3,000 ton crawler transporter. Preparations at Complex 39 are underway using the Saturn 500-F facilities vehicle to verify launch facilities, train launch crews, and develop test and checkout procedures.”

 

“Arming Tower”…hmmm…would it have still been referred to as such, in 1966?
