IBM 1400 Series
|
12-page illustrated brochure featuring the IBM 1400 series. The IBM 1400 series were second generation (transistor) mid-range business decimal computers that IBM sold in the early 1960s. They could be operated as an independent system, in conjunction with IBM punched card equipment, or as auxiliary equipment to other computer systems. 1400-series machines stored information in magnetic cores as variable length character strings terminated by a special flag. Arithmetic was performed character-by-character. Input and output was on punched card, magnetic tape and high speed line printers. Disk storage was also available. We are extremely grateful to both Dawn and Kim Wakefield for the kind donation of the collection of their late father Richard Wakefield.
