The TX-2 was an extremely important 36-bit mainframe designed and built at MIT in the late 50s. Ivan Sutherland wrote Sketchpad on TX-2. The founders of DEC worked on the TX-2 project.

The Memos are short collections of notes written for the TX-2 user community talking about recent changes to the hardware, or future plans. The Display memos are particularly interesting for including a description from Ivan Sutherland about what he would like to see in future computer graphics hardware.
