Date

Most information on the internet seems to source this Misplaced Pages article as saying Kalman's visit to Ames occurred in 1967 which seems rather late in the Apollo program to me. Integrated Navigation and Guidance Systems By Daniel J. Biezad p. 96 indicates the visit actually occurred in 1960. Here's a link to the Google book: http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA96&lpg=PA96&dq=kalman+stanley+schmidt&sig=OQeTBBGyrD5gXzkKchaCrROHvIk&ct=result&id=44aF0_rp49AC&ots=KFgaXf-rAV&output=html Almost any book on the subject will briefly recount this meeting and provide a date.
