My PDP-11/03 systems were apparently sold as some sort of laboratory
equipment package by a company called Applied Color Systems (ACS);
they were full of some sort of metallic-looking dust (I think they
came from a cosmetics company before being donated to the the
university where I got them, which didn't want the equipment), and
came with a non-DEC power controller: an Applied Color Systems C1035
power controller which is of a rather simple design, although it
contains parts from well-known manufacturers: AMF/Potter & Brumfield
relay, Gould circuit breaker, Tignal Transformer Co. 12VAC transformer
and sockets made to federal spec. WC-596, whatever that is; heavy
solid steel case as well. I wonder if they're "badge engineered."
There are six switched outlets, two unswitched outlets, a 20A circuit
breaker, two 120VAC plastic three-pin (two of which are used)
connectors for fans and one plastic three-pin connector (two of which
are used) that when shorted completes the circuit for the relay coil
and switches the 6 outlets on.
