Pantex nuclear weapon assembly plant, and the USAF and USN used the T1536 Recoder to check the coded switches and the lock/unlock status of various nuclear weapons, starting in the mid-1970s. The T1536 Recoder 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.
