Rare Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) module, 9.75 x 1 x 1.75, labeled on the red exterior, “Erasable Driver Module B9–10, NASA No. 2003114-021. Mfd by Raytheon Co., S/N Ray. 100.” Also marked, “Scrapped Module, For Engineering Use Only.” In very good to fine condition. This module was responsible for providing required voltages to read and write from the 2K word erasable memory in the AGC.
