content: Stamped on front: "1A02602 / [TI logo] 904", next to black and yellow vertical bands; written on back: "C". ITEM SIGNIFICANCE: The device is a gate for a Minuteman II missile built by TI in the early stage of the program, probably late 1963. All Minuteman integrated circuits used the type of label seen on this unit in order to provide all the required information for each device. The color band is the standard component code for 904. The number, unique for each device, was used to maintain a record through all testing and use in the system. "1" designated a TI device. Serial numbers started at A00001. The 904 was a high usage type; hence the number A02602 designates a very early unit.
