1959-IBM 7030 (“Stretch”) completed



IBM´s 7000 series mainframes are the company´s first transistorized computers. At the top of the line sat the 7030, also known as the "Stretch." Nine of the computers, which featured dozens of advanced design innovations later re-discovered by later generations of computer designers were sold, mainly to national laboratories and major scientific users. The knowledge and technologies developed for the Stretch project played a major role in the design of the later IBM System/360.
