[Histonet] Autotechnicon?

[Robert Richmond]

A recruiter, Melissa Ribeiro Passos, notes that

>>Brine Group is currently recruiting around a day Histotechnologist position at a hospital-based clinical lab in southeastern Connecticut.<< Duties would include

>>Loading surgical specimens in Autotechnicon and setting/checking time setting.<<

Are they actually using an ancient Technicon processor, or is this
just local lab jargon for a tissue processor?

Reason I ask is, I'm currently working in a lab that's using a 1964
Technicon, for processing and staining. No vacuum anywhere. It's
obvious from looking at the slides that temperature control is
inadequate, and the staining is quite capricious.
