Hi.
A friend of mine picked up a rather massive stack of core. Now we are
very curious to know what machine it comes out of. And of course any
other facts about it.

There are likely to be date codes on the red pulse transformers, that
might be
of some use. I don't think Lockheed made computers for general purpose
use, so I might think this was for some aerospace application. The card
edge
connectors sort of go against that, however, they tended to use a minimum
of connectors like that due to vibration. I have a Honeywell airborne
computer that has no connectors except at the bulkhead, all boards are
attached
by flex cables to the motherboard.
