An optics technician at the Kollsman Instrument Corporation plant in Syosset, N.Y., fits cover on head of sextant part of Kollsman sextant-telescope that Apollo 8 astronauts will use to insure accuracy of the guidance and navigation system of spacecraft during its moon voyage in late December. The small instrument at right is the scanning telescope. The two celestial instruments make up the Optical Unit Assembly which fits in the wall of the command module.”
