Here’s an ad from the Feb 9, 1959 issue of “Missiles & Rockets.” It is for the “Astromatic Panel” concept, a missile launch display and control board system. Sure, it was probably little more than a metal panel with some lightbulbs, colors glass bits and an old-school mechanical numerical counter. But dayam, it sure looks like it’d fit in on a Star Trek: The Next Generation instrument panel, or on a modern tablet.
