“LONG ISLAND LUNAR LANDING--An astronaut plants an American flag on the moon near his space landing capsule in this still photo taken from a simulation made by CBS-TV at the Grumman plant on Long Island. The space landing mock-up is to be used in connection with the television network’s coverage of the moon shot this Wednesday.”
Thanks to Drew Granston’s posting of a related image (linked below), possibly from the same “photo opportunity”, bearing the following caption…
“Thomas Sylvester, of ILC Industries, of Dover, Del., manufacturers of the suits which will be worn by Apollo astronauts, climbs down a full-scale model of the Lunar Module here 7/9 during a simulated lunar landing mission. The event was being filmed by CBS Television in a simulation of astronaut Neil Armstrong’s historic first step on the lunar surface scheduled for early 7/21.”
…I think this is also Thomas Sylvester, I believe confirmed by the fidelity/realism of the A7L suit in both images…it looks like it would’ve been manufactured by ILC. The suits worn in the televised simulations looked like something available at Kmart leading up to Halloween.
Wonderful. I’m sure it’s the same LM:

Further, a wonderful combination/transition from simulation (in preparation for/during initial egress) during the Apollo 11 mission. As a bonus, the gentleman inside the LM, on the left, speaking to Walter Cronkite, is American Hero Scott MacLeod:

Finally, per one of the above collectSPACE discussions, Mr. Sylvester is seen donning the A7L suit at the 3:19 mark. Makes me want to watch all of this/these:

#GinADayMay Day 22: #Garnish
At Mackintosh HQ we all have different choices when it comes to garnishing our gin and tonic, but we’re all in agreement that our Old Tom with lemonade is perfect with a pineapple quarter and of course an orange slice or wedge in a Negroni!

De zuidzijde van de smalle Korianderstraat in Gent wordt volledig gedomineerd door de hoge, bakstenen fabrieksgevel van de voormalige spinnerij De Gandt-Vander Schueren. De linkervleugel werd in 1839 gebouwd als katoenspinnerij, de rechtervleugel in 1841 als vlasspinnerij. Architect was J. Migom. Het gebouw maakte toen deel uit van een groter industrieel complex dat werd begrensd door de Lammerstraat, de Schelde en de Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat. In 1928 werd het gebouw gekocht door Emile Schulze die het liet ombouwen en er de gloeikousjesfabriek Schulze onder de naam 'Fabrique Anglaise de manchons à Incandescence' onderbracht.
De hoge bakstenen gevels worden sterk geritmeerd door de talrijke vensteropeningen. Binnen is de overgang merkbaar van traditionele baksteenbouw met hout naar meer moderne, industriële technieken en materialen (onder meer troggewelfjes tussen ijzeren profielbalken). Een aantal machines voor de aanmaak van de gloeikousjes zijn nog aanwezig, net als een Cornwall-stoomketel uit 1910. In 1978 werd de voormalige spinnerij, met inbegrip van de stoomketel, beschermd als monument. In het begin van de 21ste eeuw werden de fabrieksgebouwen omgebouwd tot lofts.
