According to [[Media:Tekscope_1972_V4_N3_May_1972.pdf|Tekscope May 1972]], [[Luis Navarro]] was responsible for the electrical part of the project. [[Bill Lukens]] designed the low- and high-voltage power supplies, [[Jim Cavoretto]] did the vertical amplifier, and [[Bill Markwart]] the CRT readout. [[Bob Shand]] was responsible for the mechanical design, with [[Dave Hoskins]] and [[Bill Gordon]] doing the A7704 Acquisition Unit, [[Phil Lloyd]] the D7704 Display Unit, and [[Dick Swanson]] and [[Larry Pearson]] the interconnect system. | |||
