Check out the wierd (micro? terminal?) with the monitor in an adjustable
gimbal cradle, almost like the old Philco Predicta TVS that the retro
freaks all think is the Icon of 50s Tech...
Also an HP something sitting on a desk with a paper tape reader in it..
34 photographs, be sure to check them all out...
and I ain't done lookin', yet...

Stuff I recognize or at least have some reasonable guesses on:
#2 HP disc cartridges, could be 7900A type but likely 7905/6 type
#3 An HP 7905/06 drive (likely 7906) in a cute lowboy pedestal cabinet
#11 Looks like a Lier Siegler ADM 3A type terminal
#17 The terminal LOOKS kinda Data General-ish to me, that's just a wild
guess
#25 An HP26xx type terminal in an unusual console desk with 2748B paper tape
reader
#29 IBM 3270/3279 type terminal

I have two of these. Identical to the one in the picture. One says
Televideo, one says Lier Siegler. I always thought the Televideo was the
rebadged one.

I apologize if this has been posted before, but I found a website which
has many papers on the Apollo guidance computer, including some of the
design documentation.

Clint et al,
Also see
http://www.computerhistory.org/events/core/3.2/ for an
article on the Apollo Guidance Computer which you can
see on display at the *new* home of the Computer
History Museum. BTW the Alpha Phase opening of the
Museum is occurring this week.

I worked on an 11/751 one time under a Guv'mint contract. It was mounted in
a twin engine turboprop with some other fancy equipment (array processors,
etc.) and was flown regularly. This was the first I knew that VAXen could be
flown! While I was working on the contract I was also shown the proverbial
$800 toilet seat (there was one in the plane's bathroom), if you can
remember that far back.
