Dozens of buttons and dials were eliminated by new digital control system of EPB (external proton beam). Jim Guggemos shows off new stream-lined console which simplifies job of Bevatron operators. The new computer-controlled system runs the 18 magnets that guide the Bevatron beam, plus the main magnet power supply. A three-to-four man crew can now operate the Bevatron.
