  The IBM 1403 Printer
The IBM 1403 printer was introduced in October 1959 with the
As IBM says on its history site, "the 1403 printer -- four times faster than any competitor -- launched the era of high-speed and high volume printing, and was not surpassed for print quality until the advent of laser printing technology in the 1970s.
Also inside the 1403 near the bottom was a pint-sized tin can with 3 or 4 plastic hoses that collected any oil that leaked from selected points in the machine.

 IBM Archives: 1401 Data Processing System
The IBM 1403 Printer is a completely new development providing maximum "thru-put" of forms and documents in printing data from punched cards and magnetic tape.
The 1403 prints by means of a scanning operation which compares characters on the chain with characters in storage designated to be printed.
The 1401 can also be linked to an IBM 1210 Model 4 Sorter-Reader for direct processing of paper documents imprinted with magnetic ink, providing banks with a system for mechanizing bank demand deposit accounting and account reconciliation, transit operations, installment and mortgage loan accounting and other banking functions.

 IBM 1410 - Jay Jaeger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Because the IBM 1410 was a decimal, character-oriented system, the lights were not encoded in binary, somewhat atypical as compared to most mini-computers and some mainframes of the day.
The 1403 was a real workhorse, first used on the IBM 1401 Data Processing System, and it continued to be used thru the IBM 360 and 370 line.
The IBM 1410 SPOOL program (SPOOL stands for Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On Line) was used on 1410's that had replaced IBM 1401's which were often used for card-to-tape and tape-to-print operations, essentially acting as "front ends" for IBM's powerful 7000 series scientific computers of the day.

 IBM Stretch (aka IBM 7030 Data Processing System)
IBM was not able to commit to as rapid a delivery as UCRL desired, so instead proposed a more powerful machine.
IBM feared that Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) might order a LARC, but in September of 1955 made a preliminary proposal to LASL which was received with interest.
IBM began design studies, and starting in November of 1955, a series of "Stretch Memos" proposed the development of a computer with performance "100 to 200 times the 704".

IBM implemented five models of the 1131 Central Processing Unit which was the primary processing component of the IBM 1130 Computing Systems.
IBM 1130 was a successor to the IBM 1620, the IBM 1800 was a sucessor to the IBM 1710
An IBM 1130 with 8 kilowords of core was used for the world's first full-time Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence research at The Ohio State University Radio Observatory.

 Krohm International History - IBM S/360   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The IBM 360 design assumed an interrupt-driven operating system, that utilized the contents of different control registers in response to an interrupt.
It also had a large and varied instruction set, with three types of arithmetic: fixed point, floating point, and a special decimal arithmetic that used strings of 4-bit binary-coded decimal digits as operands.
The IBM 3420 tape drives were used to store information from the MICR check reader/sorter, which read the information at the bottom of your check (which is printed with special magnetic-type ink) and wrote the info to the tape drive.

It was either developed for the US Navy to teach computing, or as a replacement for the very successful IBM 650 which did quite well in the low end scientific market.
The cheapest package used paper tape for I/O. You could also get punched cards and later models could be hooked up to a 1311 disk drive (a two-megabyte washing machine), a 1627 plotter, and a 1443 line printer.
Because the 1620 was popular with colleges, IBM ran a clearing house of software for a nominal cost such as Snobol, COBOL, chess games, etc.

And the players are central: check “Part II - IBM 1403 Printer,” where, as a recording explains how to fix a broken device, the strings start in two chord pulses, and the tension is built as the played insert various emotions into each rendering.
Just hearing the group insert their own human emotion in the figures is spine-chilling, and the rests in between the surges become endless caverns where you’ll end up inserting your own interpretations, and they’ll bounce around, echoing in the silence.
It’s a slow open to an album that never really speeds up (perhaps in homage to the computer processing speeds of the past), but the details in that hesitance are brilliant, like the chimes that lead the chords into a major resolution, and the grinning distortion that creeps up underneath at the same time.

 The IBM 1401
At $2500 per month minimally configured, this was IBM's first affordable general-purpose computer, and it was intended to take the place of all the accounting machines and calculators that still provided a cheaper alternative to IBM's 650 and 70x computers.
The 1401 was the first in IBM's 1400 series of computers, which later included the 1410, 1440, and 1460.
The IBM 1401 -- a predecessor to the System 360 -- had all the processing power and memory of today's arcade games, but it ran three shifts a day, seven days a week keeping track of an inventory of 105,000 items supporting requisitions worth $32 million a month.

 Neural.it: 1970: the IBM 1403 printer plays a tune.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Long before the orchestrations of [The User] and their symphony for needle printers, there was someone who, in 1970, could extract melodies from a noisy printer.
It was the IBM 1403 printer (made in 1964), from which some engineers were able to obtain 'covers' of famous tunes by studying which characters to feed to the machine to obtain a certain note and how many times to print them to have a note of a certain length.
The 'Blue Danube' waltz, particularly, has a yearning sound, as if coming from a faraway and mechanical time, but the other melodies, such as 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head', 'In Excelsius Deo', 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' and 'Born Free' are just as surprising.

Johann Johannsson is adding to the list of great albums from Iceland that have floated into the indie rock embrace with the release of IBM 1401, A User's Manual.
As the story goes, Johann's father (Johann Gunnarsson) was an IBM computer technician, working on the IBM 1401 mainframe computer forty years ago.
Inspired by the melodies and sentimental beauty of the story, Johann Johannsson wrote a movement for a string quartet "to be performed by a string quartet as the accompaniment to a dance piece by the choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir." Johannsson performed A User's Manual in 40 cities in Europe before recording the album for 4AD Records.
