>Waltham Watch and the race to the moon
This is a nice story (pic related), but I can't find any citation for it. The Wikipedia citations don't seem to have the information they pretend to have and Waltham moved to Switzerland in 1957 (despite supposedly helping Raytheon and MIT in 1962).

What I was able to find, however, was reference of using a section of the abandoned Waltham Watch Co. building for the project.
>It was decided to take over a big section of the old Waltham Watch Company building, which was in pretty rough shape when we took occupancy. The lavatories were the crummiest I had ever seen, with signs on the doors reading: "Your Management Takes Pride in the Facilities It Provides Its Employees." In time, RCA did a nice job rehabilitating the building.
>Eventually we got some other contracts, and we began outgrowing the Waltham Watch building, which wasn't an ideal place anyway.

Anyone have any more information or insight on this?
