What a cool collection of concepts....some of which were realized later. The “handle” that is farthest left looks very much like the later Centuri “Lectra Line” launch controllers and the one immediately to the right of it strongly resembles the Estes Solar launch controller that came out in 1972.

Also the idea of D-cells in a launcher base with legs was implemented rather differently in the Estes Big Foot launcher....
