Dette anlegget hadde en meget fremtredende plass i utviklingen, både lokalt og globalt. Det er utvikliet mange EDB- anlegg etter 1401, og det vil bli utviklet anlegg heretter, som ikke tilnærmet vil bli husket og omtalt som 1401- anlegget.
The IBM 1401 came onto the market in the early 1960's. It was called the Model T of the computer
business, because it was the first mass-produced digital, all-transistorized, business computer that could be afforded by many businesses worldwide. Also, it came in just a few basic models and they were all gray.
The basic 1401 was about 5 feet high and 3 feet across. It came with 4,096 characters of memory. The memory was 6-bit (plus 1 parity bit) CORE memory, made out of little metal donuts strung on a wire mesh by workers (mostly women) at IBM factories.
