When I visited Crane in the mid 70's in Hallandale and got a tour, unless my memory has gone, he was using time share on a mainframe to do cam lobe design.

Harvey drove his motor home to our shop in the 80's, to try and sell us on his cam program.
It was on a PC, running DOS. It was way behind what we were already doing.
He could take a curve, and make it taller or shorter, fatter or thinner, but had no understanding of what the engine would want.
I remember him saying, "look if you want to make it bigger at .200", you just do this".
I then asked him, how do you decide how big it needs to be at .200" ?
He had no answer.
