And whats up with this mention of LCD displays? I

anything practical available that early, or that was going to stand up to the
rigours of space-flight - I have a calc with one of the first commercial LCDs
(1972) and it's still kind of rudimentary - slow, poor contrast, temperature
sensitive...
Doing a bit of googling on the AGC, I found that it uses electroluminescent displays.
Yes, I'm finding those references as well. Although it seems quite early for
electroluminescent displays too, don't know of anything else that was using
them at that time, esp. in 7-seg form.
