3. SAGE console at the Communications and Electronic Museum at Kingston, Ontario - August 2000.
   The card reads as follows: This console was used in the underground Air Defence centre in North Bay, Ontario. Part of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system, this display showed all of the air activity in the 22nd NORAD Region (eastern Canada). From this position, an Air Weapons Controller could direct interceptor aircraft towards any unidentified aircraft which had entered Canada's airspace. The data from a dozen remote radar stations was displayed at the same time. In addition, the controller could access all of the radios at those sites in order to have direct communications with the pilot flying the intercept mission. It was even possible to put the aircraft under "remote control" of the SAGE computer to ensure that supersonic intercepts could be made with great precision.
