My first digital computer was an ANFST-2, one of the very first. Maintained it in 1958-62, of course it was owned by the USAF. Two identical units with over 5000 vacuum tubes in each, a 40 ton air conditioner just to cool each unit. A 7" drum and if I remember correctly it had about 87 bytes. Got our first solid state mods in about 61. It ran 24,7.
