ABSTRACT
The need for large scale calculations has grown exponentially with time at Los Alamos. In the fall of 1950 we had one Card Programmed Calculator, we now have six. About a year and a half ago, the Los Alamos Maniac was put into operation. And still we needed more calculations, so a 701 calculator was ordered to help fill that need. Our 701 was delivered last April and placed under the administrative control of a group called T-1, within the Theoretical Division.
