Any relation to the HP4118?
I worked on 4118's in the USAF, but have never found any
into on them on-line.
A very interesting 18-bit core memory monster!

If fading memory serves, the Hughes 5118ME mini used 2901s. The 5118ME
was (and still is, to some degree) used in Air Defense systems dating from
the 1980s, onward. No documentation to back it up, just a vague memory of
the times.
