Sounds like somebody got a little happy with bags of excess cash. I
knew CDC was doing well in that era, but not that well.
I do remember hearing about medical and education stuff they were into,
I guess that was the stuff that looked good for publicity.

Some old microwave stuff came into the radio museum lately, probably
60/70s
vintage, amongst which was a piece with a "Control Data - TRG Division"
label on it. Control Data was even imprinted on the waveguide
adjustment
micrometers. Idle curiousity, but anyone know how CD was involved with
microwave waveguide componentry, or what the TRG Division was?
(Chuck?) I
didn't know CD branched out into anything beyond computing.
