    Claude Shannon (B.S. 1936, B.S.E.Elec ’36, Hon. D.Sc. ’61) reached into the guts of the computer and calibrated its settings to suit the math equation that a visiting researcher wanted to solve. Shannon adjusted gears, switches, wheels and rotating shafts, walking from one end of the machine to the other.
