came across this rare photo
today, of selected fifth-formers
(1965-66) who got
"volunteered" to trial
a programmed learning scheme for
BICC. I recall that this was the
unexpected follow-up test we were
called in for. The photo was the
only tangible reward for our
labours at the time, since the
training manual was for
programmers of the firm's new computer,
in a language called
"CLEO" (Clear Language
for Expressing Orders, for those
interested in computer
archaeology). It would be
several years I think, before any
of us had contact with even
an electronic calculator.
It
may bring back to some, memories
of the old (smaller) Physics lab
(Room 7?), which was at the time
the form room of
5R, four of whom are
pictured at the rear bench. |
