Don't think about that, think about MISTIC instead.
MISTIC was a vacuum tube computer.
MISTIC contained 2,610 vacuum tubes for processing and memory.
Arithmetic Unit and Storage was in a cabinet that was 3.0 m high and 3.4 m long.
Magnetic core memory was added in 1960, increasing the memory to 20K, roughly four times what the MISTIC began with.
Computations were output on a Teletype printer at the rate of 10 characters per second.
Card Reader could read punch cards at a rate of 200 cards per minute.
