Lot 766		Early Apollo Era Test Version/Prototype Grappling Hook for the Air Delivered Drift Reduction System (ADDRS). Display hook, property of the primary engineer that helped develop the C-130 Air Delivered Drift Reduction System (ADDRS). This prototype hook Apollo Astronauts would deploy through the Command Module hatch to snag a line laid across the drift line to slow down the drift rate and speed for rescue divers to reach them faster. It is test prototype of the actual hook later developed with hinged fingers so it would fit through a side hole in the hatch. This grappling hook was tested but never flown. Piece measures 5 x 5 x 5" with wood display block displaying glue residue otherwise fine with the hook itself exhibiting use. An interesting piece for any collector.

It appears however at least 3 people's handwriting are included but Stone and Bass are written on the cover. After one mission, clearly the engineers skipped pages and started on the next yet also wrote notes at the very back of the record book going forward. First entry is dated July 5th 1969 and includes a vast amount of issues to be addressed and considerations weighed and surprisingly easy to follow. Curiously it ends with an inventory of 10 names and who purchased pineapples and leis while someone was in Hawaii and who had paid! Great reading.

From the estate of a celebrated, 30+ years NASA production controller comes this Apollo era model that breaks apart into three sections of an astronaut maneuvering the rotation hand controller (RHC). Too crude to be in any way a commercial model. That said we have no absolute certainty what this piece might have been used for at NASA but it certainly intrigues and a find for any level of collector 5½ x 4½ x 2". Our guess it was used for modeling and scale in the command capsule. Estimate Value $250 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $461
