  IBM 1440 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 1440 was an IBM computer designed as a low-cost system for smaller businesses.
With a variety of models and special features available for the IBM 1440, a system could be tailored to meet immediate data processing requirements of the business and expanded to absorb increased demands as needed.
Programs for the 1440 could be easily adapted to run on the IBM 1401.

 Floppy disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1967 IBM gave their San Jose, California storage development center a new task: develop a simple and inexpensive system for loading microcode into their System/370 mainframes.
The 370s were the first IBM machines to use semiconductor memory, and whenever the power was turned off the microcode had to be reloaded ('magnetic core' memory, used in the 370s' predecessors, the System/360 line, did not lose its contents when powered down).
IBM developed, and several companies copied, an autoloader mechanism that could load a stack of floppies one at a time into a drive unit.

IBM scientists develop an experimental device which can electronically position in millionths of a second a laser light beam carrying written and pictorial information; a solid state optical scanning device which converts images into electrical signals; and a laser transmitter that sends voice and other signals great distances over laser light beams.
IBM World Trade begins construction of a manufacturing plant in Fujisawa, Japan; dedicates a plant in Vimercate, Italy, and a laboratory at Lidingo, Sweden; completes construction of a new manufacturing facility in Mainz, West Germany, and announces plans to build a second manufacturing plant at Havant, near Portsmouth, England.
IBM's Bedford -Stuyvesant manufacturing plant is established in Brooklyn, and a Harlem Street Academy is sponsored by IBM to aid school dropouts; these are two of over 100 programs undertaken by IBM in the Equal Opportunity area.

IBM 1401s are used in business data-processing applications requiring variable-length character strings or fields and rather limited calculating ability.
Although undoubtedly influenced by machines outside the IBM organization, the IBM 1401 is derived primarily from the IBM 702 and 705, which are variable word length decimal machines.
The IBM 1620 processes variable-length data strings, although the instruction length is a fixed 12-digit string corresponding to a word in Mp.

 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.

The computer had 120 KB of memory and all of the applications that were running on the 1440 were remodified for the B3500.
The capacity of the 1440 was unable to meet the increasing volume of customers' billing and a decision was reached to rent a more powerful computer system, an IBM system 3/20.
The courses given were predominantly at the level of the operating system only and it was left to the programmers to catch up on the techniques and facilities in the course of their normal work.

In the binary prefix numbering system, this is equivalent to 1440 kibibytes, or 1.41 MiB.
This value was apparently reached by taking the binary prefix value 1440 kiB (obtained by dividing 1,474,560 by 1024), and dividing it by 1,000.
A person expecting the 1.44 MB number to be either binary prefix or decimal would always miscalculate the number of floppies needed.
