Museum of Technology

This guide to the Museum of Technology in Stockholm opens in a Saab lab in Linkoping in 1960, where a young engineer named Goran Sundqvist built a bakelite console with dials and a button to demonstrate Sweden's first transistor computer to visiting air force officers. It follows how his missile-range demo, rigged to an oscilloscope so a glowing dot arced toward an exploding target, ended up on the museum's play floor alongside the Commodore 64 and the Amiga 500. Best explored by picking up a machine yourself rather than just reading the label.
