PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COMPUTING CENTER
JULY 1964 VOL I, ISSUE 2
The 7040 room, as you can see in the photo, is nearly ready for its heralded tenant. Long before the next issue of THE REGISTER is published the IBM 7040 will have been installed and will be humming away, pushing the University of Kentucky Computing Center into the big leagues among university data processing facilities. One can readily see from the list elsewhere in this publication, of scientific projects recently initiated in the Computing Center, that there is little doubt of the need for the high speed data processing capabilities this piece of equipment will bring to the university.
In an effort to get the most out of the available space and eliminate the distraction caused by the steady flow of people to and from the Computing Center, we have enclosed each of the programmers' desks in its own compact cubicle. The accompanying photo shows the new look in the hall outside the 1410 room. One student programmer occupies each small but efficient compartment. The computing center staff now occupy the officies across from the 7040 room.
