  Calibrating & Testing a GRAVITY MODEL for Any Size Urban rea - Aug 1983
In essence, the gravity model says that trip interchange between zones is directly proportional to the relative attraction of each of the zones and inversely proportional to some function of the spatial separation between zones.
A single purpose external model should be sufficient for most urban areas; however, if there is one type of dominant external movement such as travel to a military installation just outside the cordon, it may be desirable to isolate these trips into a separate trip category and to calibrate a separate model.
Since the gravity model uses data directly from the field surveys to express all parameters except the traveltime factors, any difference between the two trip length frequency curves are due principally to the initial values of the traveltime factors.

  IBM 1620 Model I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 1620 Model I was the original implementation of the IBM 1620 scientific computer, introduced in 1959.
This unit (commonly called "1620" until the Model II was introduced) was produced as inexpensively as IBM could make it, in order to keep the price low.
One industry magazine (Datamation) mentioned that the 1620 was the first IBM computer for which the basic system could be leased for a monthly rate less than its number.

 IBM 1620 Model II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 1620 Model II (commonly called simply the Model II) was a vastly improved implementation, compared to the original Model I, of the IBM 1620 scientific computer architecture.
The console typewriter was replaced with a modified Selectric typewriter, which could type at 15 cps – a 50% improvement over the Model I. The entire Core memory was in the IBM 1625 Memory unit.
Memory cycle time was halved compared to the Model I's (internal or 1623 Memory unit), to 10μs (i.e., the cycle speed was raised to 100kHz) by using faster cores.

IBM could only build one of the two and the Poughkeepsie proposal won because "the San Jose version is top of the line and not expandable, while your proposal has all kinds of expansion capability - never offer a machine that cannot be expanded".
Following announcement of the IBM 1620 on October 22, 1959, due to an internal reorganization of IBM, it was decided to transfer the computer from the Data Processing Division at Poughkeepsie (large scale mainframe computers only) to the General Products Division at San Jose (small computers and support products only) for manufacturing.

The IBM 1620 was announced by IBM on October 21, 1959 and marketed as an inexpensive "scientific computer".
Most of the logic circuitry of the 1620 was a type of resistor-transistor logic (RTL) using "drift" transistors (a type of transistor invented by Herbert Kroemer in 1957) for their speed, that IBM referred to as SDTRL.
Work was begun on a 1620 Model III in year-TBD, but the project was quickly canceled as IBM wanted to promote sales of their new System/360 and discontinue the old lines.

The IBM 1620 was a general-purpose, stored-program data processing system for small businesses, research and engineering departments of large companies, and schools requiring solutions to complex problems in the areas of engineering, research, and management science.
With the 1711 model 2 and 1712 Multiplexer and Terminal Unit connected to the 1620, the computer not only received data from analog measuring devices, but fed results through the 1711/1712 to control processes by closing contacts which completed circuits to the instrumentation for closed-loop process control.
1620 symbolic language allowed the programmer to refer to instructions and data in the program by name or other meaningful designation without regard to their location in the machine to facilitate relocating sections of programs, incorporating subroutines, and inserting or deleting instructions.

Various U.K. models and their associated databases are made available to academic researchers through the Bureau.] The second event was Lucas's (1976) critique, which argued that the models are not likely to be useful for policy purposes.
In the full information case, the entire model is estimated at the same time by full information maximum likelihood, where the restriction is imposed that the expectations of future values of variables are equal to the model's predictions of the future values.
A model may be specified and constrained in ways that lead it to have "reasonable" properties from the point of view of the model builder, but this does not necessarily mean that it is a good approximation of the economy.
