Radio Craft Magazine: October 1945
YEAR: 1945
ITEM: Periodical
COMPANY: Radcraft Publications
COUNTRY: USA
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes
The cover article featured the computer that controlled the turret guns on the B-29 bomber. The magazine was published just a month after Japan surrendered (Sept. 2, 1945) and displays the insides of the computer.
As the magazine puts it,
We have this model computer in our collection. Unlike the one on the cover of this magazine, ours is unopened...at least as of now.
Sorry, no images have yet been entered. As we get more volunteers/interns we will be adding these images.
Documents
Documents for this item have not yet been scanned or not yet posted. There are a lot of pages...contact us if you have an immediate need. (Although there are not a lot of "immediate needs" for a 70+ year old computer!)
