Designer Wesley A. Clark is shown with the first LINC (1962). He is making adjustments to the oscilloscope display. On the left a relay rack is visible. The rack contained the flip-flops on individual cards. This was all connected by massive cabling.

[edit] Fair use rationale

"Irreplaceable". It is a picture taken around the time of the LINC, showing it and its designer in their original state. A picture taken today, even if possible, would show a much older Wesley Clark and would be anachronistic. Additionally, Wesley Clarke is unlikely to habitually pose with LINCs today.
