I was idly browsing early editions of Computer World journal on Google newspapers and
found an announcement
and picture of the '449', an experimental aerospace computer built by Control Data
in 1967 and touted as
"the world's smallest computer" at 4" x 4" x 9", of which the
logic part is a 4" cube and the rest is the battery.
It's on page 3 of Computer World Sep 20 1967:

It seems to me it may have been an analogous machine to the Apollo AGS perhaps and would
like to know a bit more
about it, but I've only been able to find a brief mention of the '449-2 Special
Miniature Computer' and
that's it.
Archive.org hasn't turned up anything. I'm just curious about the
tech used, no doubt it used DIPs
or flatpack micrologic and a tiny core plane?
