Was that stuff before or after the PET came out?

This was mainframe stuff found in corporate America and universities before the four-function pocket electronic calculator came out. The IBM 360 series was built using a technology about midway between discrete transistors and primitive integrated circuits. The 370 series announced the first non-magnetic-core memory in 1970.
