At the time, the accelerator control was being done by Norsk-Data
minis located in the accelerator control room, as shown and explained
to me by someone who had worked on their programming; and there were
machines all over the rest of the site associated with things like
data-collection from experiment sensors, assorted labs, etc. I recall
for instance, seeing a VAX-750 doing sensor data-collection, and a
lab filled with some graphics machines, but don't recall what type
they were.
Does anyone know of similar photos being taken at approximately the same
time at LLL or LANL? I assume that there might also be some from NASA
Langley...
Photos from other heavy-duty number-crunching installations of the time,
such as ECMWF would also be interesting.
