Hi

The description of the system includes an 'Assembler' which gets all the input ready for processing - is this the origin of the name for machine code porgramming - is assembly language?

Also just found a reference to C-Lines, the origin of 'C' perhaps though the generally accepted reason appears to be it was affer B!

Also interesting was that the format for the processing could be decimal or sterling! But I suppose not that surprising given its prime function.


Cheers
James
