Item description from seller

Corners lightly bumped, otherwise a nice copy of this scarce pamphlet from IBM introducing computers to the lay person in simple language describing data processing with an analogy to a washing machine. No publication date, but appears to be 1960s. No other copies have been located, but one reference to it cited a 1970 publication that had extracted a passage from it. Thus our 1960s publication estimation. Ten pages, illustrated with cartoon drawings. The author was a senior associate engineer in IBM's Systems Development Division in Kingston, NY and at the time of this publication had begun exploring application development work in graphic data processing, specializing in data display terminal processing. 0.
