Too Long; Didn't Read
In 1966, two identical computer systems based on PDP-7 computers were set up in two different locations at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL), to be used by several groups of experimenters (see Figure 2). Assembly of the hardware for the first system was completed 6 months after delivery of the computer. Assembly of the second system required only 3 months. Two years after operation commenced, the first satisfactory time-sharing monitor was completed and put into service. The basic use of these systems is pulse-height analysis. In principle many other types of operation are possible.
