Bearing in mind what was riding on those things, both literally and
figuratively, the quality control and scrutiny must have been laborious. It's not as if they could take them for a test flight and correct any bugs afterwards. Thanks for the pics, Mitch Regards Paul Cambridge U.K.

I remember the old joke concerning the Vanguard: they are going to rename it "Civil Service" because they can't fire it, and they can't get it to work. -- Savageduck

As John Glenn said when he was asked his thoughts awaiting blast off "I am sitting on top of millions of dollars worth of hardware all built by the lowest bidder".

I'm too lazy to research it at the moment - but t'was not Glenn. Glenn was too much of a hairshirt to say that.
