Commemorative stamp series - Germany / German Democratic Republic 1974 - 25 Pfennig

Leipziger Spring Fair 1974 At the Leipzig Spring Fair 1974, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issued two multicolored special postage stamps. Leipzig Spring Fair 1974 25-pfennig value: data processing system ROBOTRON EC 2040 Under the leadership of the USSR, the uniform system of electronic computing technology - ESER was developed in cooperation with the People's Republic of Bulgaria, the Hungarian People's Republic, the GDR and the People's Republic of Poland and the CSSR. The ESER involves the development, production and application of a tiered series of six central processing units (electronic computers) that can be assembled into a variety of device configurations using a variety of peripheral devices, such as punched card inserts, perforated tape, magnetic tape, removable disk, parallel printers and display units. The VEB Kombinat Robotron together with the cooperation partners of the GDR produces the EDVA ROBOTRON EC 1040 with the core piece, the central unit ROBOTRON EC 2040, and makes it available to the various users in Germany and abroad. For the working people of the VEB Kombinat Robotron, many years of experience in research, development and production are the prerequisites for being able to produce this system, which operates at an operating speed of 380,000 Op / s. The ROBOTRON EC 2040 central unit is therefore among the upper performance class, and the integrated circuit technology used allows the production of this powerful computer system with the help of innovative, modern manufacturing and testing technologies. The central unit ROBOTRON EC 2040 has a great comfort and meets the high demands of electronic data processing, e.g. also as the central, layout of a multi-computer system. Together with the various peripheral devices, the ROBOTRON EC 2040 central unit serves to increase the effectiveness in industry, science and economics and is particularly useful for the rationalization of production, transport and supply processes as well as to increase the effectiveness of the management, planning and billing activities in All sectors of the economy are used. In order to rationalize the use of the ROB0TRON EC 2040, the VEB Kombinat Robotron has developed ready-made problem solutions in the form of programs and programming systems, which are made available to the users.
