>The Command Module for Apollo used a completely different FDAI (flight director-attitude indicator) that was built by Honeywell.
That's surprising. Was there any requirement that necessitated them to be different parts, or it's just because different suppliers were chosen by Grumman/North American?
It's probably a combination of different suppliers being chosen, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. But it's annoying when I figure out how something works in the Lunar Module and then discover that the Command Module is completely different. Not to mention that the Saturn V is a whole different world.
