(Mindless rambliing) Lawrence Livermore used to have
some sort of
photographic data storage unit that was pretty unique. I can't even
remember the name of the thing, does any recall it?
Don't know.
But at GSFC (Goddard Space flight Center), we used a
Stromberg-Datagraphics 4060 to do computer text
output direct to microfilm.
The only important thing that I did there was conversion routine to
send Calcomp plotter (570? 780?) data direct to the SD 4020/4060s
