Description
A black and white photo of the PDP-1 Computer. Digital demonstrated its prototype PDP-1 computer at the 1959 Joint Computer Conference in Boston, MA.

The company Bolt, Beranek, and Newman recognized the importance of the machine and bought the prototype right off the floor. The computer became popular in the fields of nuclear physics, chemical instrumentation, biomedicine, and data communications.
