Did any here ever work on or around the AN/FSQ-32 back in the 60's? Chuck(G)? Just read an article about that piece of iron and am curious.
 
there is some info on the Q32 under SDC on bitsavers. there were only a couple built, it was supposed to have been IBM's replacement for the FSQ-7
 
I did have a boss who spent time with SAGE, he mentioned that the rows of vacuum tubes was a great place to stash your lunch to keep it warm.
 
Was not the AN/FSQ-32 the largest and heaviest computer of the day and mostly TTL? I believe it was in NORAD's purview.
