[Milsurplus] RE: GRW-5, and Others!

Hi Ira & the group,

This might be a tiny piece of info:

http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/people/randy.carpenter/folklore/aug99-v3n4.html

The web page listed gives some information about the Athena computer that
was used in conjunction with the Titan missile system.

I have what I think might be a plug-in module from this system.  It is in
a sealed can with fancy gold plated connector.  Dated Sept. 1960 & labled
Remington Rand "Univac" (no mention of Sperry yet!).  It bears a contract
number: AF04(647)-324  U.S.  The can measures roughly 5" x 4.5" x 2"
thick.

I'd be interested in any info about this thing myself, and can post some
pictures if it would help or if there is any interest.

73,
Sheldon Wheaton  KC0CW
