About This Item
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, University of California; Los Alamos, New Mexico, 1965 Stapled wraps, illustrated front and rear covers (circuitry of MANIAC II), 8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches, 16 pp., b/w photo illustrations (including one of a man working on the large disc memory component while smoking a cigarette). Fine. Scarce. From the foreword: "By 1960, with three IBM 704s and the MANIAC II (Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator and Computer) running night and day, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory had earned the reputation as one of the most advanced computer centers in the nation. The 704s have since been replaced, and the Laboratory now operates two IBM 7094s, Stretch, and the MANIAC II to become one of the most advanced computer centers in the world. Page 16 explains some of the purposes for which computers are used at Los Alamos." (K023). Soft cover. Fine.
