A young man with his back to the camera, is working at a row of computers at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Munich, Germany. There are six magnetic tape drives in horizontal position, and a DigitalDEC DataSystem equipment next to the wall in the Computer Center. The original caption, taped onto the back of the image contains detailed, yet partially recycled information.
ORIGINAL CAPTION: Munich -- The computer age reached RFE/RL six years ago when the Central News Room converted to word processors. But only five years later, economic demands forced replacement of the old system by a new system that not only handles storage of news, filing, reproduction and distribution, but also processes administrative records, accounting and financing, personnel, research, and even operates an ultra-modern telephone system.
