Cockpit tour of TB-58 050668
"Don Pyeatt" wrote in news:xjTji.40$zA2.13
I see the batteries, but have not found the flashlight.. Part of the flashlight is visible under the left battery, between the battery and the mirror. (I wonder what the mirror was for). Probably for use with the flashlight to see into those "out of the way" and really tight parts of the airplane on their preflight "walkaround".. |

And all the electronics still vacuum tube based. Not even a germanium transistor onboard. And except for a few Selsyn motors, even the flight control "computer" was mechanical. I was employed by Kaman subcontracting and built the bare chassis for a device known as a "photo recorder" from mid 1959 through the fall of 1961. This device was used somewhere in the B-58 and it consisted two magnesium side rails, a component bed that was liquid cooled also machined out of magnesium and a stainless CRES front panel about the size of a 12" CRT. I have never seen where it was used and still am curious. JT |
