Someone saved the instruction plaque from the zero-gee toilet on the Pan-Am Orion shuttle. It can’t be seen clearly in the movie or read from the film but it was detailed, step-by-step and logically correct assuming the toilet worked the way they thought, back in 1966, a zero-gee toilet would have to operate.
