Contributor(s): RCA Corporation (associated name), RCA Laboratories (associated name), Radio Corporation of America. News and Information Department (originator)
Description: Text from reverse side: 'RCA engineer Richard M. Peterson demonstrates a prototype computer program, called 'Skipper,' which can help teach the basics of sailboat handling. Mr. Peterson developed the program with two other researchers of RCA Laboratories in Princeton, N.J. to show the concepts of 'How-To' intelligent systems. In the future, such systems could be made available to consumers accessing remote computers through telecommunication or on home computers as they become more powerful.
