  • Abstract
    The LINC (Laboratory Instrument Computer) was designed by Wesley A. Clark and Charles E. Molnar at MIT´s Lincoln Laboratory in 1962, assisted by a team of approximately a dozen people under Clark´s leadership. Over the years, nearly 100 LINCs were built for use in medical research before the design was absorbed into the DEC PDP-12.
