On the subject, I need someone with a better memory. Around 1973 or so, I visited a friend at the old GE Plant in Phoenix. All Hoyt could talk about was GECOS, but he was gracious enough to give me a cook's tour of the development area, including the water-cooled something or the other, which was still in free-standing racks. The CE console for that thing was impressive--several CRTs, a couple of Nixie thermometer-type displays.
At any rate, prowling around, he pointed out a few of the older GE systems, apparently awaiting a journey to the scrapyard. One really impressed me--the console had an analog meter in it calibrated in "thousands of operations per second". I have never seen such a thing since. Anyone remember what system this might have been? --Chuck
