Summary
Women served as the first computers for the Flight Research Center. Hired because of their math degrees or teaching background, they took raw data from the aircraft--beginning with film traces--and generated pages and pages of numbers, then graphed them for the engineers to use. Over the next 15 years they were gradually replaced with electronic computers. NASA Photo E49-0212
