This is a real cool image, Jim! It is great to see American technology and ingenuity in these dark times.

Cheers,

The left panel contained the controls for the flexible nozzle that could cover the range from Mach 0.5 to 1.6.  The right panel controlled the compressor system.  I'm the Project Engineer, adjusting the TV system.  I even had hair in those days.  Note the Speed Graphic and bag of film holders above my head.  The gentleman in the foreground was the General Electric engineer on this test.
