This is the control panel from an RCA 110A computer, similar to those used at Cape Canaveral to manage the countdown and checkout of Saturn rockets from about 1965 through 1975. This panel formed part of a machine that was installed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to develop the launch system at the Cape. These machines used discrete transistors for thie circuits. After its retirement from the space program, the computer was transferred to Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where it was kept in operation as a teaching tool well into the 1980's. Two processing units of the RCA 110A and this panel were donated to the Smithsonian by the University's Physics Department in 1988.
