: Excellent, great work Jeff. Very slightly off topic, have you seen the book: Hypersonic-The story of the North American X-15. By: Dennis R Jenkins& Tony R Landis.
This stunning book is a "must-read" for anyone interested in the U.S. space program. The On The Dash topic is; the dasboard mounted stopwatches used to time and control the 'burn-time' of the rocket motors, does anyone have information on what brand was used? the photos on pages 196&198 are not claer enough to read the dial inscription, unless someone hear has the computer now-how to 'clean' them up.
