Interesting.  I designed a ttt toy as a high school science fair
project back in '74-75, built out of relay logic.  Not much of it is
left other than the drawings (maybe none, if my parents have cleaned
out the attic).

This article makes me wonder -- could my toy have been museum grade
stuff, or even a first?
