The AGC was 2 ft³. I believe the volume was written into the contract for development of the computer, and was simply a verbal guess by the owner of the company during negotiations. On the other hand, they had been designing control systems for aircraft and missiles for over a decade at that point so it was not an entirely uninformed guess. The amazing thing is that they did manage to make it fit into 2 ft³, even though the integrated circuits it used had not yet been invented when the contract was written. |
