I worked for Boeing in Huntsville, Alabama when Boeing was the prime contractor for the Saturn V development. The Saturn V was the rocket that took man to the moon. The simulation work we did used an IBM 7094/7044 direct couple system. The 7044 handled all of the input/output (I/O) and the 7094 did the number crunching. Man, those were the days of programs that ran for days at a time.
