This is the Vital I video computer for the 727 simulator. The
computer is a Varian Data Systems computer, which I think at the time was
a subsidiary of Sperry-Univac (1966)
The gray shape to the lower left of the image is a 20 milliamp current-loop
(predecesor to RS-232) teletype terminal. This is used to communicate
with the computer instead of using the
front panel switches.
Here is a good closeup of the 727's simulator computer.
I'm sorry that I don't have any images of the 727 simulator itself,
but I ran out of space on the
flash disk the camera used.
