Dr. Helen Ligon poses with her long-time "co-worker," the IBM 1620 Data Processing System, which was Baylor University's first computer. It was part of the Hankamer School of Business, and located in the Casey Computer Lab, named in honor of the machine's donor, Carl Casey. This IBM was used by the institution from 1962-1974. Its replacement was an IBM Systems 3 Computer.
