Turning the crank

I really enjoyed looking at the older systems. I worked on the pure card systems (Burroughs 263)along with the respective peripherals (sorters, collators, and keypunch machines) in the late 60s, moved to the B3500 with the belt-driven hard drives, and to Honeywell 425/435 and IBM System 3 minis. Being a data processing machine operator was definitely special. The physical nature of the old systems was such a core structure for the logic of the hidden operations in the small servers and PCs of today. Thanks for the pictures.

WWOOOOWWWW, THAT IS REALLY A GREAT LAPTOP....LOL

Pascal's machine was one of the first computing machines.
