Digital Pioneering
Raytheon's RAYDAC Computer 1948-1957
and
Computer Control Company 1953-1966
by Robert L. Massard
Robert Massard was one of the original founders of 3C. I obtained this book from a used bookseller on the internet. Although beautifully produced and bound, it appears to have been made for limited distribution. It is primarily a scrapbook of photos, newspaper clippings, and company literature documenting the RAYDAC project at Raytheon, 3C, and Fin-Tech, a venture-capital firm co-founded by Mr. Massard. The book includes a much more extensive account of the company's history than I've seen anywhere else. I am attempting to contact Mr. Massard to see if he would be interested in contributing to the website.
