When the stock market crashed in 1929, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. held a $91 million, 24-year lease on a piece of midtown Manhattan property known as "the speakeasy belt." He planned to gentrify the neighborhood by building a new Metropolitan Opera House on the site but his plans were dashed by the failing economy. He then partnered with Radio Corporation of America, a young company whose NBC radio programs were attracting huge audiences and whose RKO studios were producing popular motion pictures. A third partner was impresario S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel who had earned a reputation as a theatrical genius by employing an innovative combination of vaudeville, movies, and razzle-dazzle decor to revive struggling theatres across America.

“One Hundred Percenter Convention”
In 1947 IBM announced an increase in revenue of 22% with an employment staff of over 22,000. One of IBMs innovative products is the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator, called the Mark I, a joint development with Harvard University. It is the first machine that can execute long computations automatically. Over 50 feet long, eight feet high and weighing almost five tons, the Mark I takes less than a second to solve an addition problem, six seconds for multiplication and twice as long for division. This year it was followed up by the 603 Electronic Multiplier, the next line of IBM machines.
