Project Whirlwind Collection

Resource

Project Whirlwind Collection

Title: Project Whirlwind Collection

The Whirlwind I computer was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology between 1945 and 1952 in a project directed by Jay Forrester. The project was first carried out in the Servomechanisms Laboratory. Later it separated to become the Digital Computer Laboratory and Lincoln Laboratory, Division 6, and testing continued through 1958. Jay Forrester served as director of both laboratories until 1956, and Robert Everett as associate director, then director. A key part of the Whirlwind I design was the high-speed and highly reliable magnetic core memory for the computer storage system, replacing electrostatic storage tubes. Jay Forrester was issued a patent for the magnetic core memory, and it was used successfully and widely in large computers.

Verzuh, Frank M.,. Oral history interview with Frank M. Verzuh, 1984 Feb. 20, 1984 Feb. 24.

Title: Oral history interview with Frank M. Verzuh, 1984 Feb. 20, 1984 Feb. 24.

This interview describes early computing at MIT. Verzuh reviews his early life, his work on cosmic ray counters at the University of Denver, and his graduate work in electrical engineering at MIT. He discusses his work on MIT's Rapid Arithmetic Machine, his master's thesis on thyrathon tubes, and the effect of World War II on electrical engineering and computing at MIT. He provides information about other computing equipment built at MIT: the Mechanical Differential Analyzer, Rockefeller Differential Analyzer, Rockefeller Electronic Calculator, and Whirlwind computer.
