Symbolics, Inc. was a computer manufacturer headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and later in Concord, Massachusetts, with manufacturing facilities in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. Robert P. Adams, an MIT graduate, was its first president and co-founder along with Russell Noftsker, who was its first chief executive and chairman. Symbolics designed and manufactured a line of Lisp machines, single-user computers optimized to run the Lisp programming language.
