These photographs of Stanford Medical computing in the 1960s were extracted from a
16mm promotional film made in 1969 by an IBM division supporting
Laboratory Computing, under the leadership of Ray Edwards. The film
was converted to a DVD format, and is available on line. The intial
section (AVI format, 107Mbytes), focusing on Stanford can also be viewed.
These snapshots were extracted by Gio
Wiederhold still have only a modest resolution(~720x750).
More information about the ACME project is being
collected at a
descriptive web page as part of the Stanford Computer History Exhibits.
The Genetics department LINC computer is shown at numbers 110-130.
Some pictures extracted from the film wwre taken at Dow Chemical, Caltech, and
Palo Alto Syntex.
