The film introduces the IBM System/360 and the IBM 50 Magnetic Data Inscriber, designed to increase data entry speed by using magnetic tape instead of paper punch cards. The inscriber features a versatile keyboard and program level selection. The film demonstrates loading the tape cartridge and selecting programs, highlighting the keying process and error-checking features. Additional keyboard features and the completion of data inscribing are discussed. The verification process, including the use of a verification code, is explained, followed by a description of the IBM 2495 Tape Cartridge Reader, which reads data into the computer and allows for continuous operation. The versatility of the tape cartridge reader and its compatibility with other IBM equipment are emphasized. The film concludes with a summary of the benefits of the IBM 50 and 2495, including the fact that it is at least 25% more efficient than a card punch, and highlighting improved data handling techniques,. The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a family of mainframe computer systems delivered between 1965 and 1978. System/360 was the first family of computers designed to cover both commercial and scientific applications and a complete range of applications from small to large. The System/360 family introduced IBM's Solid Logic Technology (SLT), which packed more transistors onto a circuit card, allowing more powerful but smaller computers. 00:00 - 0:16: Introduction with applause. 0:16 - 0:37: Introduction of Kathy, a key punch operator, and the IBM System/360. 0:37 - 1:04: Introduction of the IBM 50 Magnetic Data Inscriber, designed to increase data entry speed. 1:04 - 1:38: Explanation of the magnetic data inscriber, which uses magnetic tape instead of punch cards, allowing for continuous keying. 1:38 - 2:23: Description of the inscriber's features, including a keyboard with character set options and program level selection. 2:23 - 3:01: Demonstration of loading the tape cartridge and selecting program levels. 3:01 - 3:53: Keying process and error checking features, including quiet operation and quick error correction. 3:53 - 4:58: Additional keyboard features, such as record backspace and automatic left zero function, and the process of completing data inscribing. 4:58 - 5:37: Verification process, including the use of a verification code and sending the tape cartridge for processing. 5:37 - 6:43: Description of the IBM 2495 Tape Cartridge reader, which reads data into the computer and allows for continuous operation. 6:43 - 7:55: Explanation of the versatility of the Tape Cartridge Reader and its compatibility with other IBM equipment. 7:55 - 8:22: Summary of the benefits of the IBM 50 and 2495, highlighting improved data handling techniques. 8:22 - End: Closing applause and music. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
