ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS Manufacturer Outstanding features include high speed, large memory, compatibility with 704 and 7090, and a rich operation code set. Unique system advantages include overlap input and output operations with computing with very low memory interference rate and convert commands for facilitating Binary-Decimal conversions. Many special features and attachments are available on "Request for Price Quotation" basis; i.e. clocks, data channel trap, extended precision, direct data device, tape switches, etc. Recommended procedures for magnetic tape storing, shipping, and protection from humidity, temperature, electrical, fire, or other damage: Acetate Base Tape: Storage for frequent usage. Relative humidity 40 to 60% Temperature 65 to 80^oF. Should the tape be exposed to atmospheric conditions outside the above limits for more than four hours, the following specifications would apply: Storage for infrequent Usage. Temperature 40 to 120 F. The tape must be placed in a dust proof container and hermetically sealed in a plastic bag. Before re-using, the tape must be reconditioned by allowing it to remain in the conditioned atmosphere for a length of time equal to the time it was away. Twenty- four hours reconditioning is necessary if the tape is removed for longer than twenty-four hours. Mylar Base Tape: Storage for frequent or infrequent usage. Relative humidity 0 to 80% Temperature 40 to 120 F. The tape should be stored in a dust proof container. Should the tape be exposed to atmospheric conditions outside the above limits for more than four hours, it must be reconditioned by allowing it to remain at the given condition for a length of time equal to the time it was away. Twenty-four hours reconditioning is necessary if the tape is removed for longer than twenty-four hours. The upper limits on humidity is given to prevent the formation of fungus and mold growth:.. This limit may be exceeded by hermetically sealing the tape in a plastic bag. General Precautions: The tape should not come in contact with magnetic material at any time and should never be subjected to strong magnetic fields. Either of these can cause the loss of information or the introduction of noise. When shipping magnetic tape, the reel should be placed in a dust proof container and hermetically sealed in a plastic bag. Additional support should be obtained by enclosing in an individual cardboard box. USA BMA Redstone Adopted procedures for magnetic tape labelling, storage,-shipping, and protection from humidity, temperature and physical, electrical, fire, or other damage are external labels - pressure adhesive, tape cabinet storage, and for humidity, tapes are stored in computer room.

FUTURE PLANS USA EPG Fort Huachuca IBM 1401 Tape System to replace the present peripheral equipment. USN PMR Pt Mugu Future plans provide for the continuing operation of the present computer system and concentration of development effort on the direct linkage of the computer to external instrumentation. The ultimate goal is to minimize the calendar time required to deliver missile test results to the project engineers for evaluation. USN OTS China Lake Consideration is presently being given to replacing the IBM 709 with the IBM 7090. NAFE FAA In March 1961 the 709 and peripheral equipment will be replaced by an IBM 7090 and 1401 System. CEIR An IBM 7090 to replace 709. An IBM 7090 to be installed in New York, New York. Ford IBM 709 to be replaced by IBM 7090. IBM 1401's to be used as peripheral equipment. IBM 7223 high speed (500 cards/minute) card reader being attached on-line to the 709. Hughes Possible acquisition of IBM 7090 EDPM to replace IBM 709.Use of IBM 1401 series for peripheral handling of input-output. Lockheed Burbank Delivery of a 7090 Computer is expected. Its configuration will be 16 high speed Mode TV tapes, 32 K Core, On-Line Printer, and On-Line Card Reader. Lockheed Sunnyvale Installation of our first IBM 7090 System is scheduled. This consists of a four (4) channel, twenty (20) high density tape transports (62,500 characters per second), card reader, on line printer and on line card punch. When this system becomes operational, one 709 will be removed. Installation of the second IBM 7090 System is scheduled for several months later. This second 7090 System consists of the same configuration as the first 7090 System. When this system becomes operational, the second 709 will be removed. Three IBM 1400 series systems are scheduled for delivery in early 1961. The first 1401 will be a model 1401-C with six tape transports. These systems will be used as input-output devices for the two 7090 Systems and will replace a majority of the offline peripheral equipment now in use. We are tentatively planning to make use of magnetic disc memory devices for data and program storage in the IBM 7090 Systems. These auxiliary memories would operate on line to the 7090 for processing runs and would be loaded and unloaded off-line using magnetic tape storage devices. Martin Baltimore A 11401 System is to replace our off line equipment. We intend to install a 7090. in the near future. Martin Orlando In 1961 an IBM 7070 with 10 tape units plus an IBM 1401 with 4 tape units will be installed to handle our inplant commercial programs.
