- Air Traffic Control Radar Scope, 1969 - Federal oversight of air traffic control began in 1938, but radar technology -- greatly improved during World War II -- was not widely implemented until the late 1950s. This computer-integrated radar scope, used at Detroit Metro Airport from 1970 to 2001, was one of the first units capable of displaying an airplane's identification number and altitude directly on the screen.

- Core Memory Stack and Diode Matrix for Address Selection, Used on the UNIVAC 490 System, 1963 - These core memory samples were used in UNIVAC 490 computers. NASA's Mission Control in Houston used six 490s to monitor spacecraft, control data screens, and for real-time communications during the Apollo missions. Other large companies that owned these expensive machines included US and Bethlehem Steel, GM, and Westinghouse. Notably, the UNIVAC 490 was designed by supercomputer architect, Seymour Cray.
