Huge Computer in Room

(Original Caption) 1/28/1949-New York, NY-This monster computing machine, which can solve mathematical problems more rapidly than mathematicians can formulate them, was dedicated Jan 28 by the International Business Machines Corporation. It can multiply numbers, store the result in its mechanical memory and then feed it back into the problem in a week or in a thousandth of a second. Like most of the modern machines, the calculator performs its feats by adding and subtracting electrical pulses.
