Not sure it had a clock. A lot of early DEC machines used asyncronous logic. I think that includes the PDP-1. Speed was probably of the order of 100 thousand instructions per second.

Probably no external storage medium was bundled with the thing, because it was aimed at OEMs and others who would build their own system.)

How about more facts

* What year was it made?

(Circa 1960)

* How much did it cost?

(Circa US$100,000 . For a computer in those days, that was a bargain.)

It would be nice of have a summary of the features

CPU register bit width
Memory size
External storage medium
Clock frequency
