Sketchpad ran on the Lincoln TX-2 computer and influenced Douglas Engelbart's oN-Line System.

Core was so expensive that parts of TX-0's memory were stripped for the TX-2, and what remained of the TX-0 was then given to MIT on permanent loan.

At the Computer History Museum TX-0 alumni reunion in 1984, Gordon Bell said DEC's products developed directly from the TX-2, the successor to the TX-0 which had been developed at what Bell thought was a bargain price at the time, about.

However this project was far too ambitious and had to be scaled back to a smaller version known as TX-2.

DEC's PDP-1 was essentially a collection of TX-0 and TX-2 concepts in a smaller package.

However this project soon ran into difficulties due to its complexity, and was redesigned into a smaller form that would eventually be delivered as the TX-2 in 1958.

Since core memory was very expensive at the time, several parts of the TX-0 memory were cannibalized for the TX-2 project.

Meanwhile the TX-2 project was running into difficulties of its own, and several team members decided to leave the project at Lincoln Lab and start their own company.

A considerable amount of work was required to make the TX-2 operate in interactive mode with a large CRT screen.

The MIT Lincoln Laboratory TX-2 computer was the successor to the Lincoln TX-0 and was known for its role in advancing both artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction.

The TX-2 was a transistor-based computer using the then-huge amount of 64K 36-bit words of core memory.

Because of its then powerful capabilities Ivan Sutherland's revolutionary Sketchpad program was developed for and ran on the TX-2.

The Digital Equipment Corporation was a spin-off of the TX-0 and TX-2 projects.

A TX-1 was planned as the successor for the TX-0, but the project was deemed too ambitious and was scaled back to the TX-2.

Olsen was an engineer who had been working at MIT Lincoln Laboratory on the TX-2 project.

The ultimate goal was essentially a transistorized Whirlwind known as TX-2, but in order to test various circuit designs a smaller version known as TX-0 was built first.

Computers with 36-bit words included the MIT Lincoln Laboratory TX-2, the IBM 701 / 704 / 709 / 7090 / 7094, the UNIVAC 1103 / 1103A / 1105 / 1100 / 2200, the General Electric GE-600 / Honeywell 6000, the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-6 / PDP-10 ( as used in the DECsystem-10 / DECSYSTEM-20 ), and the Symbolics 3600 series.

In turn, LINCtape's origin can be found in the magnetic tape system for the historic Lincoln Laboratory TX-2 computer.

* At MIT, Ivan Sutherland uses the TX-2 computer to write Sketchpad, the origin of graphical programs used for computer-aided design.

When construction of TX-2 started, time in TX-0 freed up and this led to a number of experiments involving interactive input and use of the machine's CRT display for graphics.

Vector graphics were also used on the TX-2 at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory by computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland to run his program Sketchpad in 1963.

Sketchpad ran on the Lincoln TX-2 ( 1958 ) computer at MIT, which had 64k of 36-bit words.

Ornstein describes his experience at Lincoln Laboratory which included work on the SAGE, TX-2 and LINC computers.

When the TX-0 successfully proved the basic concepts, attention turned to a much larger system, the 36-bit TX-2 with a then-enormous 64 kWords of core memory.

The Modules consisted of a number of individual electronic components and germanium transistors mounted to a circuit board, the actual circuits being based on those from the TX-2.

* Ivan Sutherland writes the revolutionary Sketchpad program and runs it on the Lincoln TX-2 computer at MIT.

After a short time selling " lab modules " in the form of simple logic elements from the TX-2 design, the newly-formed Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) decided to produce a " cleaned up " TX-0 design, and delivered it in 1961 as the PDP-1.

Circuit module from the TX-2.

The TX-2 became operational in 1958.

Uccel's " big-ticket item " claim to fame was software called UCC-1 / TMS ( Tape Management System ), an IBM mainframe product for managing the tape library in an OS / MVS operating system environment.

They released one LP Tackhead Tape Time in 1987 as " Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System " and some of the most distinctive and well-known Tackhead tracks ( some were released as 12-inch singles ) date from this period particularly: " What's My Mission Now?

TOS / 360 ( Tape Operating System / 360 ) was an IBM operating system for the System / 360, used in the early days around 1965 to support the IBM 360 model 30 and similar platforms.

Best and Stockebrand's 1958 paper " A Computer-Integrated Rapid-Access Magnetic Tape System with Fixed Address " is the direct ancestor of LINCtape, including the use of two redundant sets of five tracks and a direct drive tape transport.

Entrepreneur Earl " Madman " Muntz of Los Angeles, California saw a potential in these broadcast carts for an automobile music tape system, and in 1962 introduced his " Stereo-Pak 4-Track Stereo Tape Cartridge System " and prerecorded tapes, initially in California and Florida.

that the JPL Ephemeris Tape System was " used for virtually all computations of spacecraft trajectories in the US space program ", and that it had, as its current lunar ephemeris, an evaluation of the Improved Lunar Ephemeris incorporating a number of corrections: sources are named as ' The Improved Lunar Ephemeris ' ( documentation which was the report of the Eckert computations carried out by the SSEC, complete with lunar position results from 1952 – 1971 ), with corrections as described by Eckert et al.

) In 1855 the Maynard Tape Primer System was installed on all 1855 model. 58 caliber military rifles and carbines made at Federal arsenals.

In 1860 U. S. ordnance officers recommended dropping the Maynard Tape Primer System, and the famous 1861 Springfield rifled muskets did not use it.
