This takes me back.
A unit record device such as this should be offered to a museum. Suggest checking with:- http://www.thegalleryofoldiron.com/index.html who should be able to advise. Please make an effort to find it a good home, as it represents a stage in computing history. Here in the UK, it would go to the the Science Museum in Kensington. Advise how you get on. Good Luck. Thanks - Mike |

Hi Mike:
Thanks for the advice on where the old 083 might find a home. When I started working for IBM in 1967, I sold the punch cards used in this thing. Best regards, Paul |

Hi Paul - Here in the UK I worked as an engineer for IBM in the workshops at Ruislip. The card plant was nearby in South Harrow.
System 360 was the computer of that time, however I worked on Tabulators. Remember the 444 and 421? I recall my colleagues struggling to get the adjustment just right on the spring steel strips that fed the cards into each of the hoppers. I may still have a manual for the plugin board somewhere around. Regards - Mike. |

I still have manuals etc for the 1401/1440 ... did a lot of coding in those days. Ah, the good ol' days. Spent many hours in front of the 081 sorter and other EAM equipment
