<Arriving late to the party>
Van Rijn - Thanks for posting the link to my
post.
Peter J - The
thread those posts were taken from has a lot of information you will find helpful.
Here is another post of mine. Hopefully the photographs linked in both of them will clarify Jay's somewhat wordy explanations.
For further reading about the LM, I highly second
Virtual LM, which Jay has already mentioned. Also check out
Moon Lander, by Tom Kelly, the LM program manager at Grumman. Other books that may be useful (but which I have not personally read) are
Apollo and America's Moon Landing Program: Lunar Module Reference and
Building Moonships : The Grumman Lunar Module.
[Edited to add]Here's a useful site about the people who built the LM:
Lunar Module, SpaceCraft Assembly & Test, Grumman Bethpage
I also want to join those who have advised you to stick to one argument at a time until it is resolved. Remember that it is perfectly alright to respond to a question with "I don't know". You are already good at acknowleging people's input.
I hope this helps.
