Arithmetic was performed character-by-character. Input and output was on punch card, magnetic tape and high speed line printers. Disk storage was also available

Programming languages for the 1400 series included Autocoder (assembly language), COBOL, FORTRAN and Report Program Generator (RPG). The 1400 series was replaced by System/360 and low end machines like IBM System 3, System/32, System/34, System/36, System/38 and AS/400. The 1400's were officially withdrawn in the early 1970s.
