Richardson’s Human Weather Computer (1917 --1922) “Lewis Fry Richardson’s imaginary `forecast factor’ would have employed some 64,000 human computers to keep up with the pace of the weather, The workers sit in tiers inside a great spherical theater; the director, atop a pedestal in the middle, shines a beam of light on those places where the calculation is getting ahead or falling behind.” [Brian Hayes, American Scientist 80, 10 -- 14 (2001).]
