During our tour of B Reactor at Hanford Nuclear Reservation, we spent time in the Control Room. The tour participants had the option of trying out the Operator chair. The Operator job was so stressful and so important, operators worked for one hour shifts. They felt the weight of the fate of the nation on their heads as this plant produced the plutonium used to bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Not to mention that since this was the first nuclear production facility in the world, all systems were new and untried.

A mystery this one. Bedford YMP Plaxton Paramount 3200 C431 RJR was found on an industrial estate in either King's Lynn or Dereham with Crusader Coaches names. The livery belongs to TM Travel and it is known to have spent two years with operators on Merseyside, one of which traded as Crusader but there was a further owner change at the start of 2005 tying in with this view in May of that year so who had it when I saw it in Norfolk? What I do know is that it was new to Marton, Heathrow, as C809 TLF.

Thurs 11th April

Back from leave. Johnny Ball was killed the night I went on leave. I was standing by to fly in the machine they crashed in on the previous day. I did my inspection of the radio gear leaving my flying helmet plugged in as I expected to fly in the machine later in the day. In the event the call to action didn’t come in the morning and my crew were due for leave from 1200 hrs that day whereupon P.O Stapledon took over the aircraft with Johnny Ball his gunner. They took off at dawn the following morning and were all killed when they crashed on take off.

Phones like this had so much more character than the little black rectangles we have in our pockets today. I miss these. Calling someone was always an adventure because you never knew if you were going to get that horrid busy tone.

From a dark place

Sumlock was a brand of mechanical and electronic calculators widely used in administration and accounts offices. A trained and experienced Sumlock operator could use the machines for rapid addition of large numbers of figures and also perform other calculations that involved subtraction, multiplication and division. This badge appears to depict the Sumlock 912/S used for pre-decimal currency calculations and such badges would have been awarded with a diploma for those who successfully completed the Sumlock-Comptometer training course. The use of Sumlock calculators declined from the 1970’s and became obsolete as their use was superseded digital and computerised technology.

 

The origins of Sumlock go back with the Bell Punch Company who were established in 1878 as a manufacturer of ticket-punch machines for busses and trams. Bell Punch launched their first Plus Adder mechanical calculator during the late 1930’s and in 1961 launched the world’s first electronic calculators; the ANITA Mk VII and ANITA Mk VIII. Around this time, they merged with the British subsidiary of the Comptometer Corporation of Chicago to form the Sumlock Comptometer Ltd. In 1973, Sumlock-Comptometer was bought over by Rockwell International who three years later would cease manufacture of Sumlock calculators.

The basic course was quite comprehensive and intense, lasting 15 weeks and costing 35 guineas in London and 30 guineas elsewhere (1 guinea = £1-1s-0d). Those who successfully completed the course were awarded the Sumlock-Comptometer Diploma and badge.)

An Operator must strive to be efficient, clean and quick. An Operator is concealed, faceless and most of all, Invisible. An Operator strikes and then in the confusion, blends into the crowd to escape.

On Bank Holiday Monday morning I took a few shots for a friend of some classic cars in Sandwich, arranged by the Ramsgate Old Motor & Motor Cycle Club. I know nothong about cars, so descriptions are limited, and possibly totally incorrect!
