Look at the white covered item, on the left is an area that looks like its torn, or looks like a dark triangle on the white back ground, that is the flag against the white covering.

Just doesn't work for me. Maybe there is an X, but the confederate flag is dark. To me, it has to be something else. Possibly a drawing of the chassis?

That very well may have been a rear-projection machine, basically a 16mm film projector in a box that shot the image into a mirror, then onto a rear projection screen.
This is probably what they ran on that machine:

BTW: I posted that picture, I got it from the Detroit Public Library surplus sale circa 1983, either that or I bought it from John Conde's "questionable activity" booth at Carlsile. I'm not sure, it's been a lot of years now.

Hi

Who is the engineer doing the voice-over and speaking to the other three at the end of this segment? William Graves, Herbert Misch, another principle engineer or an actor playing the part?
