in the machine room at
IBM Watson Laboratory at Columbia University, first floor,
612 West 116th
Street, New York City, about 1955. In this view we
are looking at the Watson Lab
Card Programmed
Calculator. Left to right: an IBM Type 412 or 418 Accounting Machine
(which is a
402 modified
for use with the CPC), a Type 527 High-Speed Punch, and a Type 605 Calculator
(which is a
604
specially designed for use with the CPC). Behind the accounting machine and
left of the punch, near the window, is a 941 Storage Unit (relay memory).
Later this room would house an
IBM 650
and a
1620.
