CDC 160
Extracted from the Wikipedia article CDC 160 series.
The CDC 160 series is a series of minicomputers that was built by Control Data Corporation. The CDC 160 and CDC 160-A are 12-bit minicomputers built from 1960 to 1965; the CDC 160G is a 13-bit minicomputer, with an extended version of the CDC 160-A instruction set, and a compatibility mode in which it did not use the 13th bit. The 160 was designed by Seymour Cray - reportedly over a long three-day weekend. It fit into the desk where its operator sat.
