Does anyone know what computer Ford Motor Company used
in the 1960's?
I don't know what they were using in the 60's, but I worked
for them in the early 70's. If I recall correctly, the assembly
plants ran on Honeywell computers, and the main facilities used
IBM 360s. Sometime around 1973 the 360s were replaced by 370s.
This was on the data processing side of the company, the design
and research departments used different facilities.
