Guidance Computer Keyboard and Display

Keypad from an early version (Block 1) of the display keyboard for an Apollo Spacecraft, primare method astronauts used to communicate with the computer aboard the command and lunar modules. All piloted Apollo missions used a slightly upgraded "Block II" keyboard.
