These 'rocket brains' are assembled in Huntsville by IBM. On the far-left wall is a slogan by Dr. Wernher Von Braun that reads: 'As the IU (instrument unit) goes, so goes the Saturn.' IBM's $253 million contract for assembling the 22-foot instrument rings is the largest space contract in the Southeast. It's part of more than $2 billion worth of space and defense contracts handled by the Defense Contract Administration Region in Atlanta. Story on Pages 8 and 9. Photography by Kenneth Rogers."
