Xerox Sigma 3 and Peripherals
From my analog archives, the Sigma 3 was being used for real time data collection and analysis in life sciences R&D. It had 64k of IRON core memory. It was taken in September of 1978 in Skokie, illinois. Initially the Sigma line of scientific real time computers was used to collect and analyze telemetry data from early US satellites. On the far left of the frame, the papers are taped to a Xerox 530 which we used as the development environment.
