Mementos
1. Introduction 
    Over our years of service, we all gathered a few mementos of our time working on projects.  The Legacy committee is just photographing mementos, not retaining them as we are the PC cards and models shown on the Artifacts page.  

     The souvenier cups shown at the right are memento examples. From left to right these represent:

  • The UNISYS Virtual Group which was installing banking software during the 80's.  My wife brought this home from her workplace.  Under it is a cup representing the UNISYS B-2 Avionics Control Computers.
  • Two copies of the CP-901 S/N 300 delivery recognization, one with my name L.A. Benson.  The other side has a blue circle representation of the skies with the words Sperry UNIVAC ORION P3C
  •  A Sperry bull elephant mug, representing 'the ultimate ruggedized mass memory' - commemerating our bubble memory deliveries to NADC and to the Coast Guard.
