• RE: DSTN Station at Perth, Australia (IBM and UNIVAC in the Apollo Program)

  Perth (West Coast) has a dish that was very important to the mission, but it was definitely the Parkes dish(East Coast)that was the subject of the movie "The Dish".

• Univac 1230 at Goddard

  I worked at Goddard as an employee of CSC from 1974 to 1978, and worked on the telemetry systems for the shuttle Approach and Landing Test and Orbital Flight Test projects (as a computer programmer). The telemetry systems ran on the Univac 1230 computer. Several years later, a friend and co-worker from that time gave me a circuit board from a decommissioned 1230. I can't remember if he said it was a flip-flop circuit or a one-shot. Can anyone help me identify it? The following is printed on the connector: A-2333-6 7003700 00. I can provide a photo (I'd post it here if I knew how).
  
  Thanks!
