This brochure for the Computer Control Corporation Inc (of Berry Drive, Los Angeles) has that peculiar background feel similar to 1950's baseball cards--detail of the subject, while the rest of the platform is a sharp, no-nuance solid color.  On the other hand I have no doubt that work was getting done in this place.  For all of its simplicity, and for all that they were doing, this is a miniature and quiet monument to People Thinking.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I particularly like the rendition of the building--it is still there, today, but looking much less hopeful.
