An IBM 1130 system was installed in my country (Paraguay), at the National Computing Center (CNC) of the National University of Asunción (UNA), around 1969-1970. At the time it was, if not the very first, one of the first computers ever installed in my country.

It was used by reservation; that is, someone requested a time slot and got access to the computer for that time (paying the required fee, of course). IIRC, it even ran overnight.

I saw the system while I was a pre-teen, in 1982. At the time, it was still in operation even after more capable systems were installed and microcomputers were making their inroads. At that time its usage was reduced, but CNC folks told me it still was used by some civil engineers who did structural calculations with it.
