Pantex nuclear weapon assembly plant, and the US Army (and USN) used the T1533 to check the coded switches and the lock/unlock status of the W70 nuclear warhead for the Lance battlefield missile, starting in the mid-1970s. The T1533 could decode and code the permissive action link (PAL) switches. Filmed at the US national atomic museum at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque NM USA in 2010.
