It was taken in the control room of the 76 GeV proton synchrotron (then the most powerful in the world) at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, an hour south of Moscow. It was shot in 1968 by eminent physicist Nick Christofilos, who I best remember from a smörgåsbord he took us to at Bear Mountain.<br>
<br>
Here's what the control room looked like in 2001. It's interesting to see what of the original equipment was still in use, decades later:<br>

If you're curious about the facility, she wrote about it in the October 1968 issue. Unfortunately, it's behind a paywall.<br>
