Description
The CDC 160 computer, introduced in 1960 was the first truly small computer to hit the market. This machine and the DEC PDP-1 may both fairly claim to be the first transistorized computers to come to market, but the DEC machine was hardly small; A PDP-1 filled approximately 3 EIA standard 19 inch relay racks, while the CDC-160 was packaged to look like a standard double-pedestal office desk.
