...president, Raymond J. Noorda, proved unable to market successfully computers that contained a highly sophisticated "silicon on sapphire" (SOS) semiconductor chip. The chip, designed by G.A., dramatically reduced the size of the machines, but Rockwell International, which produced five prototype computers for G. A., could not make them standard for regular production. Sales slumped, and by the end of calendar 1974 the company was running at a loss. Noorda persuaded Goshorn to resume active direction of G.A. at year's end, when Goshorn's wife finally left him. This time Goshorn brought back his old partner, Burt Yale...

In future NASA models, chip-sized computers developed for spacecraft will monitor the performance of the windmills and automatically command them to adjust to wind changes...
