Rare complete Apollo-era ground support engine deflection gauge panel designed for monitoring the first stage of the Saturn 1 rocket, measuring approximately 19″ x 12.25″ x 20″, labeled on the front panel: "S-I Engine Deflection." The rear bracket bears a George C. Marshall Space Flight Center tag, identifying the piece: "S.I. Engine Deflection Panel, 40M00684, II-04," along with a NASA quality assurance label dated May 8, 1963. The front panel features four meters for "Deflection in Degrees," identified for "Engine 1" through "Engine 4," each with a toggle switch to define the range as fine or coarse. The rack-mountable panel retains its wiring harnesses in the rear, which also has a bank of switches for meter isolation. In very good condition, with moderate to heavy overall soiling and tarnishing.
