Cockpit tour of TB-58 050668

And all the electronics still vacuum tube based. Not even a germanium transistor onboard. And except for a few Selsyn motors, even the flight control "computer" was mechanical. I was employed by Kaman subcontracting and built the bare chassis for a device known as a "photo recorder" from mid 1959 through the fall of 1961. This device was used somewhere in the B-58 and it consisted two magnesium side rails, a component bed that was liquid cooled also machined out of magnesium and a stainless CRES front panel about the size of a 12" CRT. I have never seen where it was used and still am curious. JT |
