 early Modicon PLC's, which were far more common, predate the PDP-14,
 used core memory like the PDP-14, and which the PDP-14 was pretty much
 a clone of. I think Modicon was also a Massachusets company like DEC. 
Do any IBM 1710s survive?  That certainly has to qualify as one of
the earliest process-control computers around.
