74298 LEO III/13 Core Storage
|
A single plane of 64 x 64 bits from the core store of III/13, British Oxygen. Includes a note from Nigel Crompton that reads: 'At the time I was a computer operator at BOC's National Accounting Center in Worsley, Manchester. This was home to LEO III/13, 18 & 21. When LEO III/13 was de-commissioned ... the ops on night shifts were surreptitiously nicking bits. So, heinously, one night someone extracted the core memory and it got hacked into bits and distributed amongst the ops. Here's my piece...it's lived in a jiffy bag ever since.'
