Singer has divisions and the Singer-Kearfott div makes electronics, avioincs
and computers. They made the digital-analog convertor for the AGM-69A Short
Range Attack Missile I worked on. Stewart Warner (guages) made the radar
unit and AC/Delco made the actual computer.

Cool! Singer also made computers in the early
70s. I have a
bare PCB cut
in half with a Singer label on it. I wonder if
any complete machines
survived?
Do you have any Samsonite computers, Will?

Anyone else out there ever see a Singer System 10... this caused
some legal action which made DEC label the KL's DECsystem10 and
DECsystem20's.
I saw one run when I left DEC for TRW... The OS was not a pretty picture
when you were used to the english-like DEC OS's.
