  • The Travelers IBM 1401 Exhibit Thematic Presentation, June 1984
    THE TRAVELERS IBM 1401 EXHIBIT At The Computer Museum, Bay 3, Floor 5 THEMATIC PRESENTATION Overall The Travelers IBM 1401 Exhibit will illustrate general aspects of business computing in the mid-sixties. Four primary themes will be presented: the use of computers as information processors by businesses, the characteristics of this kind of computer operation, the rise in higher-level languages, and the replacement of punched cards by magnetic memory as the predominant secondary storage medium. The Travelers 1401 will exemplify these themes. In instances where reality does not quite serve the presentation artistic license will be exercized. Computers as Business Tools The use of the 1401 by The Travelers for policy processing and management report compilation will illustrate the general character of problems to which businesses a~plied computers. Charateristics of Computer Operation Batch-processing characterized the operation of computers in the mid-sixties. This reinforced the division between the machine and the programmers. Since only operators were allowed to run programs on the computer, the process of de-bugging a program was long and arduous. This method of operation will be contrasted with the contemporary operation of computers. The 1401 exhibit, by the relative position of the Programmer's Office and the Computer Room, and the contents thereof, will advance this theme. High-Level Languages The predominance of COBOL as the programming language for business illustrates the general move towards using higher-level languages which occured throughout the 1960's. The Travelers 1401 will be presented as being programmed in COBOL. The Fall of the Punched Card and the Ris~ of Magnetic Memory Inflexibility, serial storage, and size will be presented as three of the major problems of punched cards for data storage.

  • Technology Transfer: the IBM System/360 Case by Emerson W
    Technology Transfer: The IBM System/360 Case by Emerson W. Pugh Introduction The term 'technology transfer" is most commonly used within a company to describe the internal transfer of technical knowledge or devices from research to development, from development to manufacturing, and from manufacturing to sales and services. The term is also used to describe the less orderly processes in which new technologies flow backwards in the system (e.g. from manufacturing to research) or laterally (e.g. from one development laboratory to another development laboratory). In academic circles and international conferences, technology transfer is more often used to refer to the transfer of technology from one company to another or between different geographical locations and countries. Multinational companies can be involved in all of these processes simultaneously; and companies in high-tech industries will only survive if they understand and manage these processes effectively. Indeed, this was the case for IBM during the 1960s when it introduced the IBM System/360 line of computers. Defining the Problem The problem IBM faced was the direct result of rapid changes in technologies, combined with dramatic growth in the computer market -- which was itself driven by the rapidly improving cost/performance of critical technologies. The success of the IBM 1401 computer, announced in October 1959, highlighted the problem. Equipped with discrete semiconductor logic circuits and up to 4000 characters of ferrite-core memory, it was the first computer to be inexpensive enough to replace conventional punched card equipment. By the end of 196 1, the number of 1401 s installed in the United States had reached 2,000; this was 25 percent of all electronic stored-program computers installed by all manufacturers to that time.

A non-profit organization, representing key educational agencies in the state of Minnesota, was established to advise and guide the project. A statewide conference was held under the auspices of the Governor to mobilize interest, to provide and disseminate information, and to do preliminary planning. A status study was conducted which covered all institutions in the state and included hardiare utilized, plans, training of staff and special projects and efforts that might be underway. On the basis of the conference, the status study, and subsequent meetings, a basic overall plan for the coordination and development of information systems in education in the state of Minnesota was completed and disseminated. Appendixes include a report on the conference, the status report, and the resultant state plan.

    Computing Science Technical Report No. 99 A History of Computing Research* at Bell Laboratories (1937-1975) Bernard D. Holbrook W. Stanley Brown 1. INTRODUCTION Basically there are two varieties of modern electrical computers, analog and digital, corresponding respectively to the much older slide rule and abacus. Analog computers deal with continuous information, such as real numbers and waveforms, while digital computers handle discrete information, such as letters and digits. An analog computer is limited to the approximate solution of mathematical problems for which a physical analog can be found, while a digital computer can carry out any precisely specified logical proce- dure on any symbolic information, and can, in principle, obtain numerical results to any desired accuracy. For these reasons, digital computers have become the focal point of modern computer science, although analog computing facilities remain of great importance, particularly for specialized applications. It is no accident that Bell Labs was deeply involved with the origins of both analog and digital com- puters, since it was fundamentally concerned with the principles and processes of electrical communication. Electrical analog computation is based on the classic technology of telephone transmission, and digital computation on that of telephone switching. Moreover, Bell Labs found itself, by the early 1930s, with a rapidly growing load of design calculations. These calculations were performed in part with slide rules and, mainly, with desk calculators. The magnitude of this load of very tedious routine computation and the necessity of carefully checking it indicated a need for new methods. The result of this need was a request in 1928 from a design department, heavily burdened with calculations on complex numbers, to the Mathe- matical Research Department for suggestions as to possible improvements in computational methods.

  • The Genesis of the Mainframe Bob O. Evans
    The Genesis of the Mainframe Bob O. Evans 1 Introduction by Wilhelm G. Spruth In 1927 the German author Stefan Zweig published a short book labeled “Sternstunden der Menschheit” (world hours of mankind). In it he descripes 14 historical events that changed history forever. I have always believed the appearance of System /360 in 1964 has been such an event, changing the direction of the computer industry in more ways than anything else in the last 50 years. The design of the S/360 architecture is rightfully credited to Gene Amdahl, Gerry Blaauw and Fred Brooks. Bob O. Evans has been the IBM executive who made it happen. It is impossible to have met Bob O. Evans and not been impressed. He was forceful, decisive, intelligent, an excellent engineer with a broad vision, an uncanny capability to understand the most complex issues, and an outstanding leader for the people working for him. He also had an overpowering personality. I will be forever grateful for his guidance. In 2002 I learned Bob O. Evans had written his memoirs, had considered to publish them as a book, and had been adviced by his friends not to do so, because the text contained too much sensitive material. I contacted Evans and asked him if I could read the manuscript. He gracefully consented and e-mailed me a copy. Bob O. Evans died in 2004. I believe Bob O. Evans personal account of such a monumental event as the S/360 announcement should be made available. Thus in 2007 I asked his son Douglas B.
