Beautifully engraved Certificate from the Computer Applications Company issued in 1970. This historic document was printed by the Security - Columbian Banknote Company and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of an allegorical woman in front of a city with two globes on her side. Early computer company stock certificates are hard to find. This item has the printed signature of the company's president and is over 35 years old. The company developed software for NASA in their managing of the Voyager project launched to take pictures of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. They also developed an information storage and retrieval system for the U.S. Navy to aid in the analysis of nuclear warfare. Unforunately, they apparently had some problems with creative accounting that caused the company to self destruct.
