Fred gave a super speedy tour to two ladies who seemed to have worked at
Fort Monmouth. At least one of them had used a Wang word-processor before.
There were two other groups totaling 7 people that came through with
moderate interest.
One guy stopped by with a picture of his father's company's Univac I from
1963. It was pretty cool. They used it for adding zip codes to mailing
labels as well as stock market prediction. The name of his father's company
was SysteMetrics - electronics division of Budd Company. He shared with me
some photos that he had. The Univac I was bought used from Harvard
University.
Here are some pictures:
