Computing Centre Operators


Machine Room the boy band of the period ...

It wasn't all boys and later the team A(?) shift leader was Annie Goldie.
Girls were also involved in data preparation ( for example See Wendy Wharton in the output racks photo later) and programming.

Computer Room early 1970's

Always a busy place - here are four Computer Operators at work.
