Bloomington’s Federal’s ‘electronic brain’ January 1963

April 14th, 2017

Bloomington Federal Savings & Loan Association claimed to be the first financial institution in Illinois to make use of the NCR 390 computer, which was capable of calculating dividends and mortgage interest—among many other miraculous feats! The caption for this photo identified the NCR 390 operator as Mrs. Gary Little. Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate her first name. If you can help with the identification, let us know!
