This is the left switch/circuit breaker panel for the Gemini capsule. Located next to the command pilot, the panel contained the sequential bus and retrorocket arming switches, as well as circuit breakers for electical-sequential functions and communications functions. It was installed in Static Article #5, a capsule that was used several times for astronaut egress training in Galveston Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. It is not known who made this artifact. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration transferred it to NASM in 1970.
