“the construction of a high speed digital computer,” January 1957

We have a decent collection of materials on the R1 computer but of course I’m always on the lookout for more information about that important project. In all these years it had never occurred to me that the original contract might be in the files somewhere so I was bowled over when I came across a whole thick folder in President Houston’s papers that contain not only that but much more about the genesis of the enterprise. This is legit exciting!
