Launch control device for the Saturn V rockets. This is just one module for the entire computer built into the rockets, but it handled autopilot up to orbit. 2Mhz clock, 18 instructions, 32k 14-bit memory. It used hand-weaved copper wire through ferrite rings to store all information. The polarity of the ferrite determined if it was a 0 or 1, and every time the memory was read the polarity was changed, requiring a write to fix it. This is from 1967
