I was working as a student for the US Dept. of Defense at the China Lake Naval Weapons Center in California and shared an office with another "trainee" who was tasked with the job of testing a prototype CCD tracker built by Hughes Aircraft for the Navy. This was 35 years ago and the tracker was made from hundreds of TTL chips on a system that was 3 feet long and had a diameter of about a foot.


35 years ago? So that'd be about 1972? We must have missed each other by about 5 years since I lived in Ridgecrest from 1977 to about 1984. Not that I was working at China Lake at the time. But my father did.
