We were having a clear out at the office and came across several reels of punched paper tape, used to store some code for use on a DEC-PDP11 minicomputer (1970s vintage)

You can read about punched tape here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_tape

Punched tape has actually been around for a long time - since the 1840s when it was connected with telegraph messaging.

As a rough estimate if we assume one byte per row of holes then this image (size of 631KB) would require roughly 1200 kilometres of punched tape.

Model: LPC-125LPFM - Fanless Mobile Mini PC, features No Noise, Low Power, Wide Temperature Range and DC Power Input 10V-26VDC.

Kitchen Computer, Neiman Marcus, 1969.

"The Kitchen Computer was featured in the 1969 Neiman Marcus catalog as a $10,600 tool for housewives to store and retrieve recipes. Unfortunately, the user interface was only binary lights and switches. There is no evidence that any Kitchen Computer was ever sold. Inside was a standard Honeywell 316 minicomputer, billed as the first 16-bit machine at that price from a major computer manufacturer."

The C Programming Language

by Brian W. Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie

Prentice-Hall Software Series

UNIX and the C Programming Language

“MIT’s early timesharing projects led to the invention of the MULTICS operating system, which ran on General Electric (later Honeywell) mainframe computers. Bell Laboratories contributed to its development until they dropped out of the project in 1969.

Two Bell programmers, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, independently made a smaller version of MULTICS that ran on a single minicomputer. They called their system UNIX, to represent “one of whatever MULTICS was many of,” and freely distributed it to anyone who asked. An operating system that was not supported by a major computer manufacturer and that was free for the asking was a radical concept in the early 1070s, but was soon adopted by universities and research groups around the world.

The cryptic commands used to control UNIX, such as “is,” “pwd,” “cd,” and “man,” gave it both power and mystery. While these efficient commands still exist in modern variants of the system, the advent of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) made UNIX more accessible. Today, there is a version of UNIX available for almost every commercially available computer, and a strong group of supporters make free versions of UNIX available via the Internet. Programmers developed the C language to simplify the development of UNIX. The C language has since become one of the most widely used languages, particularly for systems programming.”

A reel-to-reel tape drive from a DEC System 2020 (PDP-10) minicomputer. It's a tall rack, and wider than the usual 19-inch width, too. The interface to the computer is Massbus. UPDATE: I have now donated this drive to The National Museum Of Computing at Bletchley Park.

Uploaded for the Control Panel group. Rather poor and old photo taken with my first ever digicam. Will see if I can get some better ones. The panel is from a NORD-10

Back of a VAX 11/780, with the doors shut, Unibus cable to the DEC corporate cab with a BA11 Unibus expansion box, and rackmount SCSI enclosure with disks for the VAX inside it.

Two Honeywell H-316 minicomputers and a Honeywell H200 mainframe computer installed at Calgary Herald in 1975. They were transitioning away from hot metal typesetting with Linotype machines into the brave new world of computerized typesetting. (cold type) And I was the monkey who developed the typesetting app on the H200 mainframe. Quite an achievement considering the machine only had about 32K of memory. (and those were 6 bit characters at that)

Reporters and writers would type out their copy with IBM selectric typewriters, and then the sheets were fed into an OCR reader that would convert the type written pages to computer code. One of the mini-computer at left was the communications interface to read the data from the OCR reader and send it to the mainframe on request. Then after running through the typesetting process, the H200 would send the copy back to the other minicomputer that would then send the justified and hyphenated output to a Metroset machine that printed out the output in a form that can be used to make the printing plates.

Part of 1999 project to document the various library departments for Alden Library's 30th anniversary. Each department had a group photo and description in the library newsletter.

Below is from the library's newsletter Intercom:

Administrative Office

The Library moved from Chubb Hall into the newly constructed Alden Library in 1969. The Library's "wings" (from the 4th to 7th floors) were added on later as funds became available. As far as anyone can remember, the Library has always had an Administrative Office and began in Alden with 6 people: three administrators and three support staff.

Walter Wright worked with the architects on the building plans for Alden Library, but Thompson Little was the director at the time of the move. As Associate Director, one of Will Rogers first duties was to help with the move from Chubb to Alden. Rosalie Miller was the Secretary to the Director and the Associate Director. The Head of Personnel was Frances Edwards; Sally Matthews did payroll and Joan Hivnor (now McKibben) Account Clerk, transferred to Alden Library shortly after it opened in 1970.

Joann recalls a vast amount of empty space throughout the Library. She also remembers the severe budget cutbacks in the 70's which forced stringent economics on the entire library. The Administrative Office saw severe cuts in the staff in the 70's--losing the Head of Personnel and the Payroll Clerk. Responsibilities were shifted and absorbed, and a student assistant was hired to assist with Payroll.

In 1969 electric typewriters were just one step above manuals. Joann remembers the excitement she felt in the early 70's when "top of the line" self-correcting typewriters were purchased. Around 1978-79, the Administrative Office purchased its first computer which was a dedicated word processor with a terminal linked to a central minicomputer to Haning Hall. The first personal computers were installed in the early 80's; unfortunately there was no technical support. Joann's first PC sat unused for almost a year, as she had to do her own research to learn about computers in general and what type of software she needed for accounting.

Changes projected for 1999 include Joann's retirement in May, Dr. Lee's retirement in the summer, and a new Dean in July. We're all anticipating the next 30 years.

[List of employees, start year and position, at that time]

Joann McKibben (1970 Office Manager)

Gary Poling (1971 Senior Office Machine Operator)

Hwa-Wei Lee (1978 Dean of Libraries)

Gary Hunt (1979 Associate Dean for Administration)

Kent Mulliner (1980 Assistant to the Dean/Collection Development Coordinator)

Kevin Angel (1981 Storekeeper)

Paulette Hodges (1982 Dean's Secretary)

En el museo de ciencias de Londres, puedes encontrarte esta maravilla. Una pasada, la verdad :)

Micro PDP-11/73, TS05 9-track tape drive and VT05 terminal.

This hard panel attached to ROLM 16-bit processors and was used for troubleshooting problems in the minicomputer's RTOS (Real Time Operating System) - This device allowed us to single-step through the machine code, which was programmed using assembler language.

Lacking a formal education, the use of this device allowed me to self-educate in base-8 (octal) math and the art of programming back in the very early 1980's.

The hard panel pictured here was given to me as a going-away gift the first time I left ROLM in 1989. Currently it's on display in a prominent location in my living room here in Baltimore, Maryland.
