I took a better picture of the panel for this yesterday
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dlcCompany/cowculator
Other than a couple of want-ads from the early 60's I've
not been able to turn up any more information on this.
I'm assuming you optimize by adjusting the parameters to
zero on the meter.
Other than what is on the panel, I've not found anything
on the DLC Company in Linthicum, Md.

I go disc golfing from time to time near Linthicum MD, I know there were a
few surplus dealers of ancient eletronics near there, maybe something will
turn up there.

Searching quickly on google I see a reference to the one at the CHM in mountain view.
Also found this https://trademark.trademarkia.com/cowculator-72119112.html which
acknowledges the company. Not sure if it would link to additional info. Interestingly
there are newer ones also seem to be measuring milk quality but I'm not sure if you
input the variables or if the computer finds them.

I have a brochure for the device coming and
uploaded a clipping which says it was developed by
Dr C. D. Casey, director of feed research for Cooperative
Mills, Inc in Baltimore.

Took a bunch more pictures which have been uploaded to bitsavers.
It has a 12 position rotary switch that selects which potentiomenters are active.
There are red and green lights.
The circuit is just a resistor network.

New subject: IBM 1620 manuals
I just discovered a binder with 2 IBM 1620 manuals. A quick
check shows bitsavers has these and newer editions of them.
So, does anybody want :
IBM 1620 Central Processing Unit, Model 2 (Form A26-5781-1)
and
IBM 1620 Monitor II System Reference Manual (Form C26-5774-0)

OK, since the mysterious "Steve" who actually HAS a 1620
apparently can't be contacted, anybody else have a 1620, or
know somebody who does? Or, has a significant collection
of 1620 items?
These manuals, or newer editions, are already on bitsavers,
so there's nothing new there.
Otherwise they go to the person who contacted me first on
5/13. (I'm just seeing if there's anybody who actually NEEDS
these before giving them to somebody who just "wants" them.)

New subject: IBM 1620 manuals
Jon,
The Computer History Museum (Mountain View, California) has the most
extensive collection of IBM 1620 items - hardware, manuals, books,
software, etc. - in the world.? Most of the items were collected a
number of years ago when a team of volunteers restored the museum's IBM
1620 Model 1 Level F computer to full operation.
I verified that the museum has both of these physical manuals, plus some
associated update notices.? So, the museum does not need them.? Thanks
for offering.
A subset of the restoration team is currently building a historic
replica of the machine - dubbed the IBM 1620 Jr. - for the museum's
education department use.? We've exhibited it at VCF West the past 2
years [winning Best in Show last year] and will be there again this
year.? This year we will be highlighting our work to create a
general-purpose, ASCII terminal using an IBM/Lexmark Wheelwriter 1000
typewriter.
Thanks,
Dave
