Resumo
In the beginning, MIT begat Whirlwind. Whirlwind begat SAGE; SAGE begat Lincoln Laboratory; Lincoln Laboratory begat MITRE. Lest our lineage be forgot, we publish the Whirlwind History. The Whirlwind History was written in 1967 by Kent Redmond and Tom Smith on a grant from The MITRE Corporation. It was intended for publication by the Smithsonian Institution as part of a series on the history of computer development, but when the idea of the series was dropped by the Smithsonian, the manuscript lay fallow for a number of years. Frequent requests for copies were honored by photocopy of photocopy, with the result that legibility was poor and there were. delays in production. We managed to locate an original copy and have reproduced a few copies in the interest of preserving this well done piece of the computer story for future scholars and historians. Robert R. Everett President, The MITRE Corporation
