One piece of ephemera from the slide rule museum, an IBM advertisement from god knows when. I always somewhat thought that one computer scientist is worth 150 engineers.
150 Extra Engineers
An IBM Electronic Calculator speeds through thousands of intricate coputations so quickly that on many complex problems it’s just like having 150 EXTRA Engineers.
No longer must valuable engineering personnel … now in critical shortage … spend priceless creative time at routine repetitive figuring.
Thousands of IBM Electronic Business Machines … vital to our nation’s defense … are at work for science, industry, and the armed forces, in laboratories, factories, and offices, helping to meet urgent demands for greater production.
About Christopher Stoll
This site mainly showcases my collection of historical facts, artifacts, and ephemera. But, I may also throw in a few current events that I feel are of some historical value, or just some interesting internet curiosities.
I tend to write longer or more technical posts on my blog. I also sometimes use Facebook and Twitter. And, if you are looking to hire me then you might be interested in my LinkedIn profile. Maybe you are just here because of some strange image I posted, and in that case, stay and enjoy the menagerie of historical material.
