Apollo and Skylab "Rendez-vous"

SCAN AND REMASTERED by Dan Beaumont: link

"Artist's rendering shows how Command Service Module (CSM) will dock with the Orbiting Workshop (OWS) during the Skylab mission. Assisting in the docking is the VHF Ranging System designed and built by RCA Government Communications Systems, Camdem, N.J. The system provides the CMS pilot with the range between the two spacecraft. Ranging is performed by sending radio tones from the CSM to the workshop, which retransmits them to the CSM. The range is determined by measuring the time between the transmission of the tones and receipt of the OWS retransmitted."
