I encountered this:



on Youtube. It appears to be a fragment of an internal IBM film; it ends abruptly during a scene with an early prototype of the IBM 360 which differs significantly in appearance from the actual delivered models.

It begins with the only footage, as opposed to still pictures, I have ever seen of IBM's Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator.

Nice.

I like how, in this film and some pictures I've seen, the workers on the assembly lines appear to be wearing suits...
