I don't know the names of the Apollo  CM/LEM  pairs,  but you did get me
thinking about another piece of Apollo trivia.  I have a recording  made
off the TV of the Apollo 11 landing.  It amazes me that about 15 seconds
of that historic  event have  virtually  disappeared.  Between  "contact
light" and "we copy you  down",  there is a stream of  technical  jargon
(from  Aldrin?)  that you just  don't hear  anymore.  Apparently  it was
edited out of some key masters  that made their way into common use (I'm
guessing about that...).

Not  only  that,  but,  the  15-second  fragment  is  also  absent  from
"transcripts"  published in  newspapers  the next day, and even from the
Apollo 11 Mission Report!

Before I post it, does anyone have an accurate  transcript?  Some of the
words are a little hard to hear.  There's  something  about "ACLM out of
descent" I'm not sure of...
