links to the other campuses. California State Polytechnic College (San Luis Obispo) and San Diego State University had IBM System/360s. The rest got 3150s. Typical configuration was 24K words of 24-bit core memory, four 7-track tape drives, drum printer, card reader, card punch, two 8MB disc drives (removable packs). At Humboldt State College where I worked this was used for both administrative and instructional purposes. It replaced an IBM 1620. The US Air Force used numerous CDC 3800 series systems in the Air Force Satellite Control Facility located at what is now Onizuka Air Force Station in Sunnyvale, California. As part of the Air Force Satellite Control Network, they were used to do orbital planning and maintenance calculations for defense satellites until they were phased out and replaced by IBM mainframes in the mid-1990s. These systems used the JOVIAL programming language to provide the accuracy necessary for these calculations. The Center for Naval Analyses had a CDC 3800 from about 1968 until about 1975. It was used for scientific computing in support of operations research for the U. S. Navy. Michigan State University's Department of Computer Science and Engineering had a CDC 3600 CDC's South West Region had the following accounts late 1960s and early 1970s: Long Beach Memorial Hospital, Long Beach, California (patient location tracking and billing) Many of the California state universities (Fullerton, Los Angeles, etc.) in their engineering departments California State College Los Angeles was also the California state southern region data center. (common admissions, etc.) California State College San Jose, the Northern California regional data center, had a CDC 3300, as did LA State Southern Regional data center. Jet Propulsion Lab (Pasadena, California) - test of various outer space modules University of Texas, El Paso Vandenberg AFB (missile launch control) (also two CDC 3600s - main base - use unknown) Thompson-Ramo-Wollridge - Redondo Beach, California Cal Poly, Pomona, California (engineering school) Cal Poly Northridge, California (engineering school) Point Magoo, Naval Air Station (weather balloon tracking/data analysis) El Centro Naval Air Station Camp Pendleton, California (US Marine Corps) - development/test bed for Marine Tactical Aircraft Command and Control System - MTACCS) - Initially 3300 - upgraded to a 3500 about 1973-74. Beverly Hills Data Center - Part of the CDC Cybernet network and also a rarity for CDC - did complete bank computing for about 12 small local banks. A midpoint of the CyberNet system, it interfaced
