Allen Palmer continued his work on tape drive number two of the German machine.
Joe Preston continued his work on tape drive number three of the German machine.
George Ahearn interrupted the normal date sequence of the time clock correcting it to the correct month.
Ron Crane explained to Stan Paddock, Bill Newman and George Ahearn the complexities of the three phase power being delivered to the German machine. This includes the conversion of 60 cycle 208 volt power to 50 cycle 208 volt power. It was determined that while there are more efficient ways to to perform the conversion task today, it is not worth the effort to make a change.
Robert Garner brought in his laptop so we could view videos of the upcoming IBM 100th celebration.
