The VLA team (pictured) beat the Socorro team. Players represented the USA, Jamaica, India, England, Holland, New Zealand, and Canada. Writing in the January 1981 Observer (v.22#1), Chris Salter said, "Passers by could be forgiven for imagining that mystical rites were being performed on the playing fields of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology on Saturday November 8th [1980]. The fact of the matter is that the slow perambulations and weird cavortings of fourteen white clad figures did not mark a frightening outbreak of alien worship but the progress of the first Socorro/VLA cricket match."

VLA Master Slides

Location:VLA Site, NM People:Hunt, Gareth Cole, Ina Braun, Al	Creator:Records of the NRAO Series:Photographs Series Unit:VLA Unit Subunit:VLA Master Slides Subunit Type:Still Image Original Format of Digital Item:Slide Subject:Instruments--Very Large Array (VLA) Facilities--VLA--Array Site Tags:women	Description:If in October 1979 you had visited the room at the VLA site which now houses the Widar, you might have seen the console of the DEC System 10, which was the original mainframe computer for the VLA. Any computer of that era had tape drives, which you may have seen in earlier films such as "Dr. Strangelove," but which were in a set of racks to the left of the picture. For the first few years of the life of the VLA, all data was processed though this computer. It was upgraded soon thereafter, so a visit during the filming of "Contact" a decade later would have shown the later model. The people in the picture were the DEC 10's guardians, operators, and supporters, (l to r) Gareth Hunt, Ina Cole, and Al Braun. Since Gareth is on the phone, it is likely that the photo was taken when there was a problem, and a call to the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for hardware or operating system software support was in progress. However, everyone looks fairly relaxed, so presumably a positive outcome was imminent. [show more]
