In honor of EFF’s work as guardians of civil liberties, freedoms, and internet privacy, Daniel will discuss the role of vintage and modern electronics and spy equipment in US space and spy missions and will bring some amazing, fully functional vintage electronics from his private collection to support his PowerPoint; including a working 1936 Siemens Brothers & Co. WWII Bakelite Military Field Telephone, a working 1950’s Tektronix 543A Vacuum Tube Oscilloscope, a pair of extremely rare 1960’s Cubic Corp full-duplex microwave communication and distance measuring transceivers, an incredible 1960’s Russian mainframe computer Ferrite ‘Core Memory’ unit, and a 1950’s analog Decade Resistance Box used in the Manhattan Project during the development of the very first atomic bomb. Daniel will have the units powered-up with the covers removed so people can actually see what’s inside of these beautiful pieces of technological history.”
