PDP-1 at Parachute Contest roll 2

There are large format negatives (2.25"x2.25"-probably 120 format film) in an inner envelope with Roll #2 written on it. There are two contact sheets with 11 images from the negatives. There is an "A-frame" structure with "Computing Center", "digital" and PDP-1 on it. Inside is a PDP-1. There are young women in some contact prints. Most of the contact prints follow a parachute descending. There is a vehicle with an emblem, Civil Air Patrol / USAF Auxillary, which may have been related to the parachute jump. See related items.
