The Burroughs laboratory computer

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author HOBERG, G. G.
Abstract In early 1950 the Research Division of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company developed a need for a computing installation of moderate size which would, among other objectives: 1. Serve as a proving ground for new ideas and devices. 2. Provide data on large-scale-computer reliability. 3. Offer a means for indoctrinating a large number of inexperienced people in the various phases of realizing and operating a digital computer. 4. Produce useful solutions of engineering problems associated with a research program. 5. Solve business problems in a manner which would simulate their handling by contemplated smaller and relatively special-purpose commercial machines.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
