The launch computers for the Apollo program were RCA 110A's.
I OWNED the last launch control computer for the Apollo program. It
was a Systems Engineering Labs 840A (SEL-840).
"Systems Engineering Laboratories was founded in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in
1958 by nine engineers from Radiation, Inc., of Melbourne, Florida, at the
beginning of the breakout of minicomputers from 16-bit to larger
architectures. Their original product was based on a patent for sampling
low-level analog signals. A number of data acquisition and control systems
(which included no computers) were built for NASA installations."
That's from Wiki.
