Margaret Fox's SEAC game cartridge, around 1960
Margaret Fox kept this game cartridge for the SEAC computer. The machine was programmed to compute prime numbers, but also to play tic-tac-toe and generate musical selections. SEAC, built at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, carried out calculations for military and scientific use. Demonstrations for visitors took a lighter tone. |
