Thanks to Jeff Jonas who pointed out Grady Booch's wikiwand site:

This references the 1130:

Also found this gem:

TNMOC

if you click "tags" in the box in the upper right and scoll through the list, you will find "The IBM 1130 was built for scientific computing". Click it to see this:

Good night:

I am a mechanical engineer who started working on an IBM 1130 in 1972 at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana de Medellín, Colombia.
I worked as Chief of Systems until 1988 and now I am writing a book about that experience, close to 50 years.
I would appreciate it if you could send me photos of the IBM 1130, preferably in high definition.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Hi Gabriel,

You might also visit the IBM archives - that's where most of the pictures on ibm1130.org came from

Cheers,

brian
