A unique 1966 film by CSIRO showing how computers can help with classification of data, utilizing a Control Data Corporation CDC 3600 Supercomputer. - Nicely filmed and narrated, it covers the whole cycle of data collection, formatting, input, verification, processing and output in a very comfortable, easy-to-follow scenario.
Brief and non-technical, it includes somewhat rare footage of a CDC 3600 in operation.
Peripherals shown including CDC tape drives, printers, plotter and an IBM model 56 punch card verifier. We hope you enjoy this great piece of computing history.

Our thanks to CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization for allowing us to reproduce this film.
