BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT 



In October 1962 and June 1963 several divisions of the Observatory, 

 including those occupying space belonging to the IBM Corp. and to 

 the Harvard University Press, moved to a building on Alewife Brook 

 Parkway, about a mile from Observatory headquarters at the Har- 

 vard College Observatory. This move places all personnel in only 

 two locations, between which mail- and passenger-shuttle operates on 

 a regular schedule. 



Also in October 1962 the IBM-7090 computer was taken over by, 

 and moved to, the Harvard Computing Laboratory, from which the 

 Observatory rents needed time.
