Photographs of Rockwell Collins Analog Computer

 

Twelve pictures of a large Rockwell analog computer. It was purported to be a Rockwell Collins Aerospace computer and one picture does show SATCOM switches.

Collins Radio Company was founded in 1933 and provided the communication equipment for early NASA missions including Mercury and Apollo missions. The company was purchased by Rockwell International in 1973 and the Rockwell Collins Computer would have come about at some point after that. We do not have a date for this computer and are guessing it is around 1977. You may note that the most recent chip dates on some of the cards were from the 39th week of 1977.

The pictures look to be professionally done and may have been used for ads or brochures. They are sequentially numbered in pencil and pen as follows:
1600094-975
1600094-499 #1
1600094-397
1600094-394
1600094-393
1600094-392
1600094-391
1600094-389
1600094-386
1600094-385
1600094-247
1600094-242
