Signal Computer Corporation
Contents
Summary
Member SignalLab has been researching the Signal Computer Corporation with several signal distributers in the area after finding several of these "checker" heads. According to his source, "Signal Computer Corporation in of Garland, TX was owned and operated by Maurice Harvey and Rodger Irwin. We think they have been out of business for about 25 Years [about 1975, this was written in 2004]." This gentleman has an old catalog of theirs. They were not associated with Eagle (note similarity to Eagle mold) in any way. It is likely that they basically copied the mold for the head in question, but the writing on the back is different, which would be further indication that it wasn’t made in the same mold.
