Interesting. Thanks, Tom. I can relate through the Royal McBee LGP3O. In 1962 I had a summer job with Chicago Bridge and Iron Company. That was their only computer. Physically it was as described--about like a big freezer. It was programmed using 17 machine language instructions and punched paper tape input. I used it to calculate weights of weirdly shaped steel pieces used in the construction of oil and water storage tanks. You optimized execution speed by placing instructions strategically wrt its rotating drum. Well it did have speed relative to a Friden or Marchant calculator!
