I just stumbled across a sort of show-and-tell of
computers used by NASA
in the 1960s. See

I noticed but could not identify:
07:13 calligraphic graphics system with hidden line removal. Could be
an Evans & Sutherland LDS-1, but might be something earlier.
I've seen this system in several NASA films, but I've never been
able to get any information on the hardware used.
Is it possible that this is an IBM 2250 vector display?
