This is the maintenance console of IBM's
Stretch, the industry's most powerful computer when
first delivered in 1961. Stretch had 150,000 transistors
and could perform 100 billion computations a day.
Stretch pioneered in various advanced systems concepts,
such as look-ahead, overlapping/pipelining of instructions,
error-checking and correction, control-program operating
systems and the 8-bit byte. (VV3073)
