On this day in 1961, the first American traveled into space. Alan B. Shepard Jr. was launched into space in the Freedom 7 capsule. His flight lasted 15 minutes and reached a height of 116 miles into the atmosphere. It was a major triumph for NASA. Success for NASA would continue and increase over the next couple of decades, and the American steel industry would make products for many space missions.

In the mid-1900s, the American steel industry employed people to do a variety of unique jobs. Lukens Steel Company had a Tabulating Department. Facts and figures were a crucial part of operating the company and this department collected, recorded, and utilized that information. The jobs and machines within the department varied: from punching cards to adding and subtracting to alphabetizing information, which are shown in the photos below. What a unique department!
