Subject: Interesting Uses of the 1620
I found the following page on the net:http://www.krohm.com/history/1966.htm1966 thru 1967Mr. Krohm was involved in operations and programming at the Kansas City Star (Missouri), which was one of the pioneering daily newspapers to computerize their typesetting production by installing an IBM-1620 to drive hot-metal linecasters and Mergenthaler Linofilm phototypesetters.Special modifications had been made to the Star's 1620 to allow it to be an early form for multi-tasking. If an accounting program was being processed, it could be automatically interrupted by a paper tape reader. The entire memory would be written to disk, and the typesetting system loaded. When typesetting was done, and no other paper tape readers waiting, the accounting task would be read back into memory and processing would resume automatically from where it had been interrupted.

Derecho Effects on Electrical Power in a Large City
During the predawn hours on Monday, June 7, 1982, a derecho developed over north central Kansas (KS) and roared eastward causing considerable damage and some injuries as it crossed northern Kansas, central Missouri (MO), and west central Illinois (IL) (Fig. 1). The most intense portion of the storm was along a band from just west of Manhattan, Kansas (orange "M" on Fig. 1) though the central and northern portions of the Kansas City metropolitan area (orange "K" on Fig. 1). Measured peak wind gusts included 62 mph at Manhattan, 78 mph at Topeka (orange "T" on Fig. 1), 90 mph at Lake Perry (orange "P" on Fig. 1) and 78 mph at Kansas City International Airport. Gusts were estimated to have reached 90 to 100 mph in several places including the northern Kansas City suburb of Parkville, Missouri. Along the most intense portion of the derecho path ("M" to "K"), mobile homes were overturned, buildings were damaged, planes were overtur ... [Read More]

United States Newspaper Program
The project has microfilmed 100,000 pages of such papers as the Forty-Ninth Star and the Esquimaux , an 1866 newspaper for men laying Western Union's overland line. Included are handwritten newspapers from before the U.S. purchase of Alaska. The project has received $650,190 in NEH support. ... The USNP has supported projects in each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each project is conducted by a single organization within a state or territory, usually the state's largest newspaper repository.
