A minor Adventure in Vintage Computing

[James Rice]

I knew Foxboro was old but didn't realize they were founded in 1908.  I 
remember working on pneumatic controls from Foxboro that were date coded 
in the 1930's.  This was in 1972-4 time frame at Anderson-Clayton Foods 
in Sherman, TX.  This was a  vegetable oil refinery that closed in 
2001-02 after being sold around 5-6 times since 1984..
