> The AGC is a fascinating device. It used 60% of the ICs produced in the United States in 1963.
As written I interpreted this as saying the AGC used 60% of the kinds of ICs produced in the US in '63.
But it's not that, it used 60% of the production capacity. No, the AGC is not a machine utilizing over half of the IC designs produced at the time. This number says more about the nascent state of the industry the AGC was drawing from than anything else.
