Pictured is Victor J. Habisohn with the first prototype of the Central Timing Equipment used on all Apollo and L.E.M. (Lunar Excursion Module) missions. Victor was the initial Program Manager for Design and Manufacture of the Timing Equipment. The Timing Equipment provided critical time accumulation and synchronizing signals for the major communications and Electronic Systems aboard the Apollo Command Module and the L.E.M. The Central Timing Equipment had the highest reliability requirement of all the Electronic Systems in the Command Module and L.E.M. Under his guidance we have effectively transferred this philosophy of high quality, reliability, and safety to our product line.
