[sci.space.shuttle] Orbiter placards

) (02/14/91)

I just had an intriguing thought:  On those orbiter systems that are
accessed on the ground, which way are information placards oriented?
Are they fixed so that they are readable when the shuttle is on its 
landing gear, or when mated to the ET?  Or are they on gymbals?  Or do we
have both forward looking and side looking technicians for the two
configurations?
