I have no idea of the "rating" of the 1401's architecture or
internal electronics.  But Campbell-Kelly noted the big feature
of the 1401 was mechanical--its high quality and high speed
1403 printer (and high speed card reader).

The marketplace certainly loved 1401, giving it very high
sales, especially for that time.
