 | | At the Ordzhonikidze plant, the period from the completion of the development stage till the start of the full-scale production of computers (Minsk-1, Minsk-22, Minsk-23, Minsk-32, ES-1020, ES-1022) sometimes was one to three months. |
 | | This model was valuable for the Ordzhonikidze plant as a start machine, but its influence upon the further computer science was virtually void. |
 | | This failure, probably, derived from the fact that the underlying ideas of the computer were not transparent to users, there was no compatibility with the previous model, its performance was insufficient for scientific and engineering tasks, and the demand for business data processing was not developed at the enterprises and organizations. |
