Class I consists of systems with vacuum tube circuitry and which can be classified into

large-scale, medium-scale, and small-scale, based on the computer and its associated peripheral

equipment as defined below.

There is no implied evaluation of machine capabilities in terms of

large, medium and small.

Mimimum requirements for each group follow:

Large-scale:

The system

uses magnetic tapes and the computer operates at microsecond arithmetic speeds.

Price in general

is in the order of magnitude of one million dollars or more.

Medium-scale:

The system uses

mag-netic tapes and the computer operates at millisecond arithmetic speeds.

In general, the price

range is from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Small-scale:

The system does not use magnetic tapes but

the computer is internally programmed.

Class II consists of systems with transistorized circuitry, generally known as "second

gen-eration" computers.

Many of these systems are characterized by expandability or modular design.

The criteria used for subdividing Class II are shown below:

For most Class II systems, expansion to the next higher level is possible without serious

imbalance.

Miscellaneous computers are card calculators and other machines which do not fall into one

of the above systems classIfications.

MONTHLY COMPUTER CENSUS

The number of electronic computers installed, or

in production at anyone time has been increasing at

a bewildering pace in the past several years. New

vendors have come into the computer market, and

familiar machines have gone out of production. Some

new machines have beeri received with open arms by

users -- others have been given the cold shoulder.

To aid our readers in keeping up with this

mush-rooming activity, the editors of COMPUTERS AND

AUTO-MATION present this monthly report on the number of

American-made general purpose computers installed or

on order as of the preceding month.

We update this

computer census monthly, so that it will serve as a

"box-score" of progress for readers interested in

following the growth of the American computer

in-dustry.

Most of the figures are verified by the

respec-tive manufacturers. In cases where this is not so,

estimates are made based upon information in the

reference files of COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION.

The

figures are then reviewed by a group of computer

industry cognoscenti.

Any additions, or corrections, from informed

readers will be welcomed.

The number of electronic computers installed, or

in production at anyone time has been increasing at

a bewildering pace in the past several years. New

vendors have come into the computer market, and

familiar machines have gone out of production. Some

new machines have been received with open arms by

users -- others have been given the cold shoulder.

To aid our readers in keeping up with this

mush-rooming activity, the editors of COMPUTERS AND

AUTO-MATION present this monthly report on the number of

American-made general purpose computers installed or

on order as of the preceding month.

We update this

computer census monthly, so that it will serve as a

"box-score" of progress for readers interested in

following the growth of the American computer

in-dustry.

Most of the figures are verified by the

respec-tive manufacturers. In cases where this is not so,

estimates are made based upon information in the

reference files of COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION.

The

figures are then reviewed by a group of computer

industry cognoscenti.

Any additions, or corrections, from informed

readers will be welcomed.

MONTHLY COMPUTER CENSUS

The number of electronic computers installed, or

in production at anyone time has been increasing at

a bewildering pace in the past several years. New

vendors have come into the computer market, and

familiar machines have gone out of production. Some

Ilew machines have been received with open arms by

users -- others have been given the cold shoulder.

To aid our readers in keeping up with this

mush-rooming activity, the editors of COMPUTERS AND

AUTO-MATION present this monthly report on the number of

American-made general purpose computers installed or

on order as of the preceding month.

We update this

computer census monthly, so that it will serve as a

"box-score" of progress for readers interested in

following the growth of the American computer

in-dustry.

Most of the figures are verified by the

respec-tive manufacturers. In cases where this is not so,

estimates are made based upon information in the

reference files of COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION.

The

figures are then reviewed by a group of computer

industry cognoscenti.

Any additions, or corrections, from informed

readers will be welcomed.
