THE FULLY-TRANSISTORIZED
RPC-4000 ELECTRONIC COMPUTING SYSTEM
The RPC-4000 is a new, fully-transistorized electronic computing system with the largest memory, greatest problem-solving capacity and flexibility in the low- or medium-priced field. It is the latest member of a growing family from the people whose LGP-30 has become the world's leading small-scale computer. Wide range of applications: the RPC-4000 has been designed for engineering, scientific, business data processing and management control functions. Such jobs as product and process design, statistical analysis, research, inventory control, payroll and sales analysis are all well within its capabilities. Easy to use: the RPC-4000 is simple to program and operate. Royal McBee compiling and translating routines allow even non-technical personnel to obtain maximum results. Versatile command structure gives programming speed and flexibility. Available at low cost: high capacity, flexibility and ease of operation make the RPC-4000 the outstanding computer value on the market today. Minimum operating costs: the RPC-4000 requires no site preparation or special maintenance. It is powered from any ordinary wall outlet. Continuing assistance: users benefit from free training, an information exchange service, and library of programs.
Heart of the RPC-4000 system is a new transistorized computer with advanced design concepts that provide substantial computing speed and capacity in a low-cost unit. Magnetic memory drum stores 8008 words. Operating speeds are as high as 230,000/minute.
Standard input-output is a tape typewriter system which includes a Royal electric encoding-decoding typewriter complete with desk and chair, plus a tape punch-read console. Read speed is 60 characters/ sec., punch speed 30 characters/ sec. Typewriter, punch and reader may be interconnected in any combination for both on-line and offline operations. A new 500 character/sec. photoelectric tape reader and a 300 character/sec. punch are available as optional input-output equipment. A magnetic tape unit and a line printer will be available soon. As many as 17 input-output devices (60 with minor modification) may be connected on-line to the basic system. All peripheral equipment is under automatic program control of the computer.
Royal Precision Corporation Royal Precision is jointly owned by the Royal McBee and General Precision Equipment Corporations. RPC-4000 sales and service are available coast-to-coast, in Canada and abroad through Royal McBee Data Processing Offices.
