1953 Futuristic photograph of a technician sitting in front of a HUGE analog computer that was being unveiled at the Boeing Airplane Factory in Seattle. This is a cool image as it was about 25 years later in the same city that computers really took off with Bill Gates and Microsoft. Issued by the United Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. One of the earliest images of a computer being used in an industrial setting we have ever seen.
