Spot on man.
The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) was a digital computer produced for the Apollo program that was installed on board each Apollo command module and Apollo Lunar Module. The AGC provided computation and electronic interfaces for guidance, navigation, and control of the spacecraft. The object on the right was how astronauts communicated with the AGC using a numeric display and keyboard called the DSKY (for "display and keyboard"). Facinating stuff.
Over to you sir.
