BREAK 1-9….”It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin’ logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin’ hogs
We is headin’ for bear on I-one-oh
‘Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, “Pig Pen, this here’s the Rubber Duck”
“And I’m about to put the hammer down”!
(It’s getting to the point where I have to like my old cassette player and dial-up phone, though.)
It rocks. It’s a feast for the eyes! Applied Science! I hope you have it in your will to go to a museum, or a relative who cares about it — and won’t send it to the scrap yard.
My only contribution to the world is that I bought an old 1950’s Geiger counter (with instructions) that needs a battery that I don’t think is made any more. Cool-looking gizmo, though.
Was donated to us by a student that picked it up at a flea market. We’re not a museum, but the students will definitely get to play with it.
NACA was NASA before the space program existed… A little research of NACA’s past has me thinking this was probably used at Langley to test jet engines & such.
We’ve all got our switches, lights, and knobs to deal with. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing – they’re flashing and they’re beeping. I can’t stand it anymore! They’re blinking and beeping and flashing! Why doesn’t somebody pull the plug!
That top enclosure is going to have to visit HR if it keeps looking down his shirt and making inappropriate faces. I mean, that’s not an intern for Pete’s sake!
“Calls coming in. Reminders from Frank. Excuses from Walrus on the headset. Complaints from interns on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, double-sided … More emails coming in. Late for suspender practice. Magnetometer on the fritz. Copenhagen calling. What the hell is ‘zzyzx’? Bills! Aaauuuggghhh!”

Could you leave a note on his desk reminding him to pick up the scope he wanted calibrated? Thing’s been sitting here for decades.

Awesome Fangbeer-certified photo!
Only problem is, that Dumont was the unfunny one in Marx Brothers movies.
However, it looks like a close-up from Dr. Strangelove, so I’m impressed.
I should take a picture of the last two certifications it received. I think they would give you the fizz.
Ever hear of NACA?
No. I’m un-whatever.
I love it. I love any historical machine.

My God man! The very last thing we want is for our interns to stop blinking beeping and flashing.
[Groucho Voice] If they keep that up I’ll be pulling my own plug.
Classic Shatner soft playing it.
We’re still in open rehearsals for the community performance of Kirk & the space floozies and we could use a good Scotty if you’re interested.
So far the Emu hasn’t been as convincing in the role as you would think.
Act 1, Scene 2: Kirk Closes the Green Nude Deal
“In this performance, as always, Kamala Harris will play the part of the Salt Monster.”
Type casting at it’s finest.
Y’know, I’d reject her, but AOC I’d allow.
Common. Kamala just has to mean something in Klingon…
Qem alah
KIRK SCREAMS INTO OVERHEAD CAMERA: “KAAAAA — mala!!!!!!”

I see what you mean…
REVEALED: Tokyo Rose was actually an early experiment in voice synthesis…
This is the kind of thing even AIs won’t do…

Just 10 cents more for the next. Three. Minutes please…..
