It apparently took a trained team of human brains doing inputs to get accurate output results.

Pretty high tech at the time.

[Not that my paris would buy me one of those or an IBM 360 to have in my bedroom for training/edumacation....]

Forget the 360s, the 370 were much better. You could dump DOS and run OS MVT w/ TSO and HASP. The only problem was the big ones, 155s through 185s, required 3.5 inch chilled water lines for CPU cooling. Remember: Check, reset, load!
