Using mercury to store information as pulses... it's amazing what they came up with in the early days of computers.

Amazing, using analog technology is so much more complicated. Scientist back then really were cutting edge. There was no such thing as programmable chips everything had to have a physical mechanism to carry out a command. Very impressive.

The computer was supposed to provide a print-out of the Presidential choice on live tv, but the show's producers, previewing the results, were sure that it was wrong, and feigned a technical malfunction; no print-out occured. An omen that they had "pulled their punches took place when one of the show's performers dropped his hand-held microphone.
