Part of the flashlight is visible under the left battery, between the
battery and the mirror. (I wonder what the mirror was for).

And all the electronics still vacuum tube based. Not even a germanium

Here a Convair worker is looking up into the flight control computer.

Just noticed that the channel/frequency on the card has been blured
out.
