Following up about the SC-15:

 "It was a clone of the PDP-15, designed for Information International.
  The prototype was our main in-house machine for many years.  III's
  main product at the time was the FR-80 microfilm recording machine,
  initially using PDP-9s and later PDP-15s.  Our design let them build
  their own machines for substantially less than what PDP-15s cost from
  DEC.  We provided designs and prototypes for everything up to the PLS
  (the Programmable Light Source, a small *very* high-resolution CRT)
  and camera.

  I think SC built one SC-15 as part of a system for the Nevada Test
  Site (while I wasn't here), but most of them were built by III."
