Picture in the lead

Why is an ENIAC computer used to illustrate this topic? ENIAC was used for much more computationally intensive tasks than the mechanical design of the time. Some simple analog devices would be a better symbol if the 1950s is what we are about. Викидим (talk) 02:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No idea really. An IP user added that recently. Now is a good time to remove it (thanks for reminder). -Fnlayson (talk) 02:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
