NCR 315 Mainframe

I am a retired NCR Computer tech.
The first system I was trained on was the NCR 315 (this was in the 60s)
I am looking for PHOTOS of the old relic.  Anyone know where I might locate them?

I started with NCR in 1964, was trained on the 315 and 404 in 65 &66

Trained on the Century in 1969.  After that, I went to so many Schools I can't remember them all.  Spent half my time in school.

I retired in march of 2000 after the Y2K worry was over.

I'll give Google a try

Wow, this is like a homecoming, but I was there before all of you, in Hawthorne in 1963. I worked as an engineering aide in the test equipment lab attempting to build automatic test equipment for the various sub-assemblies that made up the beast. I wish I could just remember some of the specs of that machine. I remember registers being made of ferrite cores with the hair-fine wire threaded through them, three wires per core, they could not have held more than 1024 bits, which is 128 bytes! I am inclined to guess that the total machine RAM was about 16K, but CRAM took up the slack there, when it was working. We used to remark to each other that we could never afford to buy the product we were making. How things change!

Speaking of change, I retired from the US Forest Service, where I spent my days walking through the woods measuring trees, land area, stream flow, and other statistical stuff. I had to get away from all those electrons, or go nuts! My job title with the Forest Service was Forestry TECHNICIAN. So I kept that much of my natural talent intact, but applied it in a totally different way.

I recall some names I worked with. Floyd Powell, engineer. Les Kaldor, Tech. ??? Quinn, draftsman.
It was a good job, but lousy pay.

NCR Days

I was Head of Customer Support for the Central America & Caribbean Support Center, in Caracas, Venezuela, between 1966 and 1971. I learned the 315 and afterwards went to Dayton to learn about the Century, while it still was quite hush-hush. I was the first Century instructor for Central America & the Caribbean. Still remember NEAT/3, which I taught in Venezuela, Jamaica, Panama, Mexico, Trinidad and other countries. I also helped develop an on-line operating system for banks, together with Paul Fundenburg. And I still am a decent programmer... :-)
