Thanks oldsimman ...

two Honeywell computers running DAP2 a language similar to Fortran. The memory was ferrite bead core 32k on one m/c and 24k on the other,[yes k].Each Bite was 24 bits. Programming was punched tape or C60 cassette
32/24k ... Mrs C's washing machine has more computing power (yes I know a sexist comment !)

ZFT ...

Great pic ... thanks for sharing ... size was clearly important in those days !

The ingenuity shown since the 60's in providing cockpit visual systems is simply outstanding ... just shows you how far we have come !
