caption_attribution_description: CDC 3800 - Udvar-Hazy Center, Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia, USA.
context_page_description: The CDC 3000 series computers from Control Data Corporation were mid-1960s follow-ons to the CDC 1604 and CDC 924 systems.
  Over time, a range of machines were produced - divided into
  the 48-bit upper 3000 series and
  the 24-bit lower 3000 series.
  Early in the 1970s CDC phased out production of the 3000 series, which had been the cash cows of Control Data during the 1960s; sales of these machines funded the company while the 6000 series was designed.
