A large (27-1/2 inch by 10-1/4 inch) foldout, schematic diagram detailing the Lunar Rover’s steering system.

Soon after unloading the Lunar EV, the astronauts discovered a problem with the rear steering system which they needed to fix before going for a ride.

“I highly recommend the Lunar Rover’s steering system, which made it snap to avoid those pesky craters & boulders one tends to encounter while driving across the moon’s surface!”

From “Mooncollector” Jim Ruddy lifetime collection, When Jim turned 82 and his health was failing, he wanted to bundle his collection of lunar surface artifacts together in a single sale to someone who would care for them, and so he contacted me. I agreed to procure the collection and spent some time with him discussing each artifact at his home in Palm Springs. He was meticulous and carefully framed each precious treasure. Soon after I added this to the FV space collection in 2015, he passed away.
