 * Huh?
 * "Early Soviet guidance systems were known, though intercepts of tracking information by British and US intelligence services, to be on the order of several miles."
 * Shenme (talk) 03:09, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps "British signals intelligence teams were able to intercept the radio telemetry from early Soviet ICBM test launches and learned that their guidance systems had accuracies on the order of several miles." Better? Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Actually, it's two QPQs because we're in backlog mode, and it's important, because there's a seven-day deadline to supply QPQs once asked for, and this is day fourteen. Please provide two QPQs right away if you wish to pursue this nomination. Thank you! BlueMoonset (talk) 04:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * There is a fascinating quote in the reference you added...
 * "Since our own silo-killing force was to be housed in those very Minuteman silos which were assumed to be effec- tively destroyable by the Soviet Union, it was not clear how conversion of Minute- man to a force of silo killers would in itself counter that danger to the Minuteman force, except by the threat of preemptive attack. Indeed, were a force of Soviet silo killers really to materialize, it is likely that the Defense Department would request funds and approval to develop and deploy mobile ICBMs."
 * Basically, he posits that adding counterforce to Minuteman would actually be counter to the goal of giving the US flexibility, because it would demand the Soviets do the same thing with their missiles and thus increase the risks of a first-strike by either side. The calculus of nuclear war during that era is absolutely fascinating. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Bitsavers also has IBM Future Systems information
See http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/futureSystem/. most useful, thanks! They have the official version of the HLS report, Smotherman only had the draft. Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:01, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the FS stuff seems to be scattered between Sowa's site, Smotherman's site, and Bitsavers. There may be other bits elsewhere, or in boxes in the homes of retired IBMers or former IBMers (who need to be told about Bitsavers, so they can send it off to be scanned).
