“EARLY SPACEMEN—Engineers test spacesuit flexibility in mockup of full scale Apollo spacecraft command module at North American’s Space and Information Systems Division, Downey, Calif. Apollo spacecraft command and service modules are produced at Downey for NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston.”
Yet again…I’ve seen this image many-a-time while searching for something else. Of course, right now, intentionally trying to find it; zip, nada, zilch. And that’s using reverse image & multiple keyword combination searches. UGH. If I recall correctly, it was primarily published in a generic press release capacity. Even if in NASA publication(s), accompanied only by something similar to the above.
Regardless, I believe one of these gentlemen conducted a simulated two-week mission using a Block I CM inside a vacuum chamber at the company’s Downey, California facility. That being John Moyles on the far left. In the center, with the steely-eyed gaze – and possibly no couch? – is Wallace Johnson. I haven’t a clue who’s to the back left. The first & stand-alone letter of his name tab appears to be an 'M."
Finally, neither here nor there, but the amazing resolution reveals the International Latex Corp. logo on the back of Mr. Moyles’ right-hand glove. Along that line, see also:
Wallace Johnson, outstanding:
