Scarce early Apollo Command Module right-hand rotational hand controller grip, measuring approximately 2.75″ x 4.5″ x 2.75″, marked on the bottom with part numbers: "1022865-101, S/N 9." The grip features its black trigger-style push-to-talk switch located near the top. In fine condition. The part number matches the known part numbers for rotational hand controllers, and the very low serial number refers to a very early example or engineering model. This gray grip would have been used by the crew to control the spacecraft's rotation in either direction around all three axes. These hand controls, one mounted alongside each couch inside the CM, were connected in parallel so that they operated in a redundant fashion without switching.
