The Automatic Measuring System (Lick Obs. Bull., No. 598, 1971) was built according to a design developed in 1959. Technological advances since then, particularly in small computers and in electronic component reliability, offered an opportunity for a substantial upgrading of the system. Most of the electronic circuitry has been replaced using modern components, and a PDP-8 computer has been added to the system. Punched card equipment has been replaced by magnetic tapes.
