Successfully completed by Eagle-Picher Industries, the project engineer was Darryl Goade of the Joplin, Missouri Battery Division. Fred Long of the Joplin Plant was responsible for the battery system. Les Daggett, Inglewood, California Electronics Division Plant Manager, designed the speed controller and other electrical systems. Other project contributors included Electrical Engineer Howard Corlett, and Manufacturing Manager John Denning, both of the Inglewood facility. The silver-zinc cells used to power the vehicle were manufactured by Eagle-Picher at the Joplin, Missouri battery plant. The cells were the same specification as those used by the NASA Apollo 15 Lunar Rover and other space vehicle applications.
