I happen to have my CARDIAC and its instruction manual sitting here on my desk. It did indeed come from Bell Labs. The "machine" itself bears the info Copyright (c) 1966, 1968 Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated "cardiac" developed by David Hagelbarger while the manual credits are by David Hagelbarger Saul Fingerman Cartoon illustrations by A. Barthelson Copyright (c) 1968 Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated It's a very clever little gadget, and I remember being extremely impressed by this thing in my high school days. It's still pretty impressive. CARDIAC was just one of many really great educational aids I recall being put out by Bell Labs, Western Electric, etc.

Hey, I even have a French translation of the "Cardiac" which was available up here in Montreal in the early 70's!!! Quite an interesting little gizmo. (By the way, it was also called a CARDIAC in French, which was in theory an acronym for "CARton DIdactique ACcessoire", which really doesn't mean much.) -- Denis Fortin | fortin@zap.uucp DMR Group Inc. | uunet!philmtl!zap!fortin The opinions expressed above are my own | forti...@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
