I don't have the whole list right here, but of the nineteen produced, ten
went to California or to Los Alamos, and they were:
2 University of California, Los Alamos, NM March 23, 1953
3 Lockheed Aircraft Company, Glendale, CA April 24, 1953
5 Douglas Aircraft Company, Santa Monica, CA May 20, 1953
8 U. S. Navy, Inyokern, CA (China Lake) August 27, 1953
10 North American Aviation, Santa Monica, CA October 9, 1953
11 Rand Corporation, Santa Monica, CA October 30, 1953
13 University of California, Los Alamos, NM December 19 ,1953
14 Douglas Aircraft Company, El Segundo, CA January 8, 1954
16 University of California, Livermore, CA April 9, 1954
18 Lockheed Aircraft Company, Glendale, CA June 30, 1954
On top of that I remember that IBM kept #1 for itself, and #19 -- the one
built out of scrounged parts -- went to the Weather Bureau in Suitland, MD.
So there's twelve out of nineteen....
