Photograph of "Translator," a computer for missile flight simulation (built by Space Technology Laboratories, a division of the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation), May 29, 1957. In the center, a well-dressed man is standing by the large computer, which sits in the corner of a room, while holding a rotating knob on a panel; the panel displays additional knobs and buttons. A similar computer's panel is visible in the right. Two larger panels are observable in the left end of the computer.; In these computer panels, buttons and what appears to be a recording machine, showing a speaking apparatus attached by a cable to one of the panels, are visible. The computer somewhat seems like two lockers perpendicular to each other. Curtains cover the entire wall area and in the center, behind the computer, a partially visible pillar is noticeable. Several lights are visible on the ceiling.; Photoprint reads: "'Translator' -- effectiveness of its digital and analog computers in missile flight simulation has been increased by the space technology laboratories, a division of the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation, with addition of the addaverter, which is essentially a translating device linking the two types of computers and making their 'language' compatable, the two panels at left are auxiliary tape units used in connection with the addaverter".1957年5月29日拍摄的"翻译者"（Translator）导弹飞行模拟计算机照片，该计算机由拉莫-伍尔德里奇公司（Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation）下属的空间技术实验室（Space Technology Laboratories）打造。画面中央，一名着装得体的男子站在置于房间角落的大型计算机旁，正握持控制面板上的旋转旋钮；该控制面板还设有其余旋钮与按钮。右侧可见另一台同类计算机的控制面板，计算机左端则设有两块更大的操作面板。在这些计算机控制面板上，可见按钮与一台疑似记录仪的设备——该设备通过线缆连接至其中一块面板，附带一套播音装置。该计算机整体外观近似两台相互垂直的机柜。整面墙面均覆盖有窗帘，计算机后方的中央位置可见一根部分显露的立柱。天花板上设有多盏照明灯具。照片标注内容如下："'翻译者'（Translator）——拉莫-伍尔德里奇公司下属的空间技术实验室通过新增addaverter（addaverter）设备，提升了其用于导弹飞行模拟的数字与模拟计算机的运行效能。该设备本质为连接两类计算机并实现其'语言'兼容的转换装置。左侧的两块面板即为与addaverter配套使用的辅助磁带单元。"
