Government film gives unique tour of both facilities. Seen are RCA 3301, RCA Spectra 70 and IBM System/36, and other equipment. Run time: 10 minutes.
The 3301 is a rare machine, since very few were ever made. It was superseded by the RCA Spectra 70 line, and then, in 1971, RCA exited the commercial computer business and sold its remaining computer line, including the Spectra machines, to Sperry Rand (UNIVAC).
