(ca. 24,2 x 30,4 cm). 1 photograph (back side: English Language). Original photograph with white edge and a longer text mounted at the back side. Photograph with minimal signs of use, very well preserved. Generally in good to very good condition. The original photograph has its origin in the Public Relations Division of Pan Am A…irways itself. The company probably published this material in the early 1970s: advertising with Pan Am's importance in the history of aviation. The photograph in a large format (ca. 24,2 x 30,4 cm) shows a Pan Am employee working with the IBM reservation sets (1962). The present photograph probably was made around 1970. There is a longer text mounted at the back side of the photograph: "Panamac shrinks distance between reservation personnel and computers / New York, March 12/1962. When PANAMAC goes into operation, Pan American reservations employees working at IBM reservations sets (foreground) in such distant locations as Paris or Honolulu will communicate directly with the New York data processing center (key elements of which are pictured in background). Even though separated by hundreds or thousands of miles, Pan Am employees - such as Brenda Lawson, shown here - can make use of the computers as if they were in the same room, as symbolized in this photo. [.]" Rare original photograph and authentic public relations material on Pan Am's company history from early 1970s.
