APOLLO SPACECRAFT PROPELLANT METER
USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE APOLLO TRAINER
A PROPELLANT QUANTITY display meter, 3 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. All metal construction with gray and yellow paint coatings. The OXIDIZER readout has a four digit light display. The FUEL readout has three digit light display. Both have 1/10 value accuracy. A red metal identification tag reads in part: "For use on Ground Instrument Trainer only. Part No. 564467, Serial No. 12. LINK Div., General Precision, Inc. Binghamton, N.Y." An additional white label tag reads: "MFG. NO. 15, Dec 28 '65, F-1731" with the letter "B" in manuscript.
The meter was used with the Block I Apollo Command Module (CM) ground training simulator equipment either for oxidizer and fuel values from the Service Module rocket engine systems or the Command Module's attitude control system. Dual multi-pin ports at the opposite end allow cable hook-ups to provide data for the digital display readouts.
