<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br class="">
NY's Metropolitan Transit Authority -- the people who runs the subways,<br class="">
trains, and buses -- hired a tour guide for Grand Central Station who's<br class="">
saying that the terminal's circa-1913 electromechanical signaling system<br class="">
is "the first electronic computer".<br class="">
<br class="">
Who was the chief engineer, Shiva Ayyadurai?<br class="">

This story is very unfortunately in Gothamist -- a very popular NYC<br class="">
