a(SESL_Cb)_v_bw_o_n (NASA-S-64-5993)

Excellent 1964 cutaway diagram of Chamber "B" of the Space Environment Simulation Laboratory (SESL), Building 32, Manned Spacecraft Center, prior to construction.

 

“LUNAR PLANE”...interesting.

 

I'm not certain, but I don't think an Apollo Command Module (CM) was ever suspended in this fashion. I don't even think a solo CM was ever mounted in Chamber B. CSM combos in Chamber A, yes, but not B. Something like that...maybe.
