+            Ames Graphics Facilities at Ames Research Center
+
+   This note is intended as a response to an RFC which suggested that
+   nodes describe their graphics environment. The following graphics
+   facilites are now at Ames for the IBM 360/67 TSS:
+
+      a.   An SC 4020 off line microfilm system.
+      b.   Calcomp plotters.
+      c.   ARDS storage tube CRTs.
+      d.   IMLAC PDS-1 refresh CRTs.
+      e.   One IBM 2250 CRT.
+
+   Devices which will be in use in the near future are:
+
+      a.   An Evans and Sutherland LDS-2 system.
+      b.   Hazeltine alphanumeric CRTs.
+
+   Because of the diverse nature of the devices and the varying software
+   support provided by the manafacturers, work has been undertaken to
+   provide a device independent package. This package is currently being
+   implemented. The basic entity is a device independent intermediate
+   language which describes the picture to be displayed. When a device
+   is selected, the intermediate language is converted to specific
+   device orders.
+
+   Other features include the definition and storage of subpictures for
+   later construction of more complex pictures. An interface has been
+   specified so that graphic data sets can be transmitted to other
+   installations on the TSS network.
+
+   A note to those who plan to use the ILLIAC IV when it becomes a
+   functioning node at Ames. I would like information concerning the
+   graphics environment at your sites and any thoughts you have on how
+   you will be using graphics with the ILLIAC IV.
