Computer History: IBM 1401 Mainframe Data Processing System 1960 ENGLISH version (HD)
Computer History: 1960 IBM 1401 Computer Announcement. IBM sold over 12,000 of these machines, making it the most successful large computer of that time period. This is an ENGLISH language version of the 1960 French film, followed by a 1401 Photo Gallery. Many thanks go to Marc Verdiell, Robert Garner, Randy Thelen and Max Campbell (IBM) for finding the original French version and helping this film be shared. (Sadly, we do not have access to the original 16mm film, which may be lost to time, but if we obtain it, we plan to redo this film and bring it further back to life.) Color, Run time: approx. 7 mins.
There are some great resources (see below) on the history of the 1401 and the major 1401 restoration project that was done at Computer History Museum Mountain View, California in 2013.
