Actual use cases of the 705:
Texaco: accounting, technical and research applications. The accounting applications are integrated crude oil, integrated gas and gasoline, wholesale marketing, payroll, supply, and distribution. The technical and research applications are producing geophysical, petroleum engineering, civil engineering, refinery simulation, crude evaluations, plant process studies, pipe stress analysis, and determination of maximum allowable operating pressures.
Calculations related to crude stills, fractionation, absorption and stripping are also performed.
U. S. Army, Pentagon: military personnel accounting, civilian personnel accounting, and organizational accounting.
AT&T Long Lines Dept: circuit provision, traffic load studies, accounting for
operating and construction activities, message analyses (by mid 1960), pricing and billing private line customers (by late 1960), and plant trouble results - message circuits.
National Security Agency: the system is used for data processing. [no details :-) ]
These are just a few uses from a detailed 1961 report: http://www.ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/BRL61-ibm0705.html http://www.ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/BRL61-ibm0705.html
