From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An IBM 7040, from [1].

Original caption reads, in German:

IBM 7040 am Hochschulrechenzentrum der THD (1964 - 1974)

  • links: 10 Magnetbandeinheiten
  • vorne: IBM 1403 Zeilendrucker
    (Schnelldrucker, mit Standard-Druckerkette: 600 Zeilen/Min)

    (nicht auf obigem Farbfoto)
  • im Hintergrund: Zuse-Flachbett-Zeichenautomat (Plotter)

Roughly translated, this is:

IBM 7040 at the University Computer Center of the THD (1964 - 1974)

  • left: 10 magnetic tape units
  • in front: IBM of 1403 line printers
    (highspeed printers, with standard print chain: 600 lines/min)
    (not on above color photo)
  • Middle: The IBM 7040 computer
    (administration interface panel at the front side)
  • right: IBM 1402 punch card reader/punches and Input/Output-Computer IBM 1401 (Expenditure/satellite computer)
    (not on above color photo)
  • in the background: (Zuse-flatbed-drawing-automatic) (plotter)

Zuse was another early pioner in computers. Read on.

Fair use claimed by low resolution, the fact that it's already freely available and not used in a commercial product, and historical value.
