[inforoots] Origin of the IBM 1130 Name

[utleyb at aol.com]

 The 11LC would refer to the follow-on product to the 1130. The project was transferred to Boca Raton together with the Small Scientific and Process Control missions in 1968. The project never saw the light of day but the processor was used duplexed in the Carnation PBX developed in LaGaude, France.

Marketing made the final decision but never revealed to my knowledge the 
rational for the number. The 1800 was christened the same way.

The MIT Press "IBM's Early Computers" book doesn't explictly mention
the 1130 but it does have references to a "11LC" (Low Cost) product or
product line, in the early sixties timeframe.

Was the 11LC the eventual 1130?
