Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph dated December 6, 1961 shows the Radio Corporation of America, West Coast Missile and Surface Radar Division building located at 8500 Balboa Boulevard. The building's location caused boundary disputes, being claimed, at one point, by Sepulveda, Van Nuys, and Northridge. The company, who produced missile systems and designed highly classified electronics, called the building its 'Van Nuys plant' and used Van Nuys as its mailing address and telephone listing.; See images #00127021 and #00127027 through #00127029 for all photos in this series.
