In the summer of 1961, I worked on a computer made by
CCC (California
Computer Co. ?) It used a magneto-resistive delay line for main memory.
The model number was SPEC, which stood for Special Purpose Educational
Computer. It was aimed at computer training in the military (I was in the
Army at the time). It was a small sub-desk size computer, certainly not a
mini. Only had 128 words of meory.
CCC = Computer Control Corporation? (later subsumed into Honeywell).
Sounds really close to this one:
