Wednesday. November 3, 2010

Today's attendees were :
Ron Williams, Bob Erickson, Robert Garner, George Ahearn, Stan Paddock, Bill Flora, Frank King, Glenn Lea, Don Luke, Douglas Martin, Bill Newman and Ron Mak

Ron has some of his SJSC students coming in on Saturday the 13th.
He came in to insure he had name cards for the students (BigPrint) and some example cards to give away.

Ron also gave us source code to a program he wrote when he was in high school. We punched out the cards after Ron left and ran it on the German machine.
The picture of Abe Lincoln is printed using the text of the Gettysburg Address.

Bill Newman worked with Ron Williams and Frank King to see why the tape drives on the German machine were not working right. Bill found a loose connector on the tape buss chain.

The Computer History Museum had a mass of people on this day. We could not go to any of our normal lunch rooms and had to seek shelter outside.
Don Luke helped Bob Erickson fix a tab problem on the IBM model B typewriter.

Using a CPU intensive program, Ron Williams tried to get the Connecticut 1401 to fail as Stan said it did. Ran all day with no failures.
