I've got a 45-rpm record with Galvin giving the shareholders presentation - it was from either 68, 69, or 70, and mentions Apollo moon mission stuff and how Motorola supplied spacecraft and lunar surface hardware.

You used to be able to download all of the Motorola shareholder/Annual report stuff back to 1966 on Motorola.com, before they spun off Freescale and OnSemi. On one, they had a WITD Quasar set on the cover, with chassis extended. That same image was used on a book by Middleton or some other TV tech./author. I remember reading one annual report and how they had made and shipped over 1 Duodecillion (10^39th power...) transistors ....in their LSI IC products.
