a12_v_c_o_AKP (Sep 1968, poss. Bendix photo, no. 15389)
A probable Bendix documentation photograph of most likely, a sub-pallet/package of the Apollo 12 Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP).
The faceted object in the foreground is the Solar Wind Spectrometer (SWS) Experiment, to the right is the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE), and I believe the rectangular box-like object farthest back is part of the readily identifiable gold booms of the Lunar Surface Magnetometer (LSM) along the left edge.
Impending SWAG: Below the booms, I believe the cylindrical perforated object with the ‘spindle’ to be a/the? cable reel. Finally, most trivially, the "Bendix Aerospace Systems Division" manufacturer's data plate can be seen, affixed to the pallet immediately below the PSE, "Aerospace Systems Division" being just barely legible. Further, the handle appears to bear "FOR LUNAR HANDLING ONLY".
Disregard the handwritten crap on the verso. NEVER lend any credence to anything containing “Appolo”.
