No doubt. The IBM 1620 was known as CADET for Can't Add, Doesn't Even
Try. It was a decimal serial machine and did all arithmetic by table
lookup. Each instruction took 100us or more. Nonetheless, it was
reliable and fast enough that it was used as part of the IBM 1710
which was the first real time process control system.
