...command. But it has even begun to acquire outstanding and unusual equipment of its own. Just this spring a member of the Class of 1915 presented the UHS with a "Pacemaker," the newest and most effective device for diagnosing and treating disorders of the heart. Used to monitor the hearts of people suspected to have heart disease and to provide emergency resuscitation, the Pacemaker will permit the treatment of serious emergencies right in Stillman Infirmary on the fifth floor of Holyoke Center. The Health Center is one of very few institutions in the Boston area that have a Pacemaker...
...instantly measures the amount of metal in a chemical sample. Lately, it has also branched into laser technology, produces the powerful gas lasers used in tracking missiles. For the U.S. space program, it makes the instruments that align the Saturn and Centaur guidance systems, the infra-red sensors that monitor carbon dioxide inside the Apollo spacecraft, and the cameras that photograph-and sometimes ride on-the rockets launched from Cape Kennedy. Its balloon-borne telescopes analyzed the atmosphere and climate of Mars long before Mariner spacecraft ever got near that planet...
...million worth of electronic equipment. It is a mass of dull grey cabinets, closed-circuit TV equipment and banks of computers−all linked together by more than 10,000 miles of wire and 2,000,000 cross connections. The ground floor houses IBM 7094 II computers that monitor on-board systems of telemetry. On the second floor of the windowless structure is a master control room, with four rows of 20 consoles facing a huge world map on which the path of a spacecraft is projected. Above, on the third floor, is a second control room, permitting the center...
...wanted" license numbers will be stored in a central computer, which is telephone-linked to ten electronic analyzers stationed up to 450 miles away. Each analyzer in turn is linked to 40 TV cameras hidden behind toll booths, stop signs and traffic lights. As the 400 TV cameras monitor every passing license plate, the analyzers encode the digits and the computer compares them with the wanted list. The whole thing takes less than one second -time enough to trip an alarm back at the camera and send lurking prowl cars into action...
