That ICL 1904 installation was after my time and I presume it replaced the
SDS 9300, did not think George went up as high as version 8. Photos in the
document show the 11/40 in the same position as I remember, and recent forum
posts show the same wallpaper as appear in the 11/40 photo over 20 years
later ! .
Who knows what a "British Standard Interface" was, all the interfaces on
those machines were usually hand built in house, I did some of them !.

I was the tech involved in the installation of the 11/40 in the mid
1970's,
and maintenance at that time of the PDP7, SDS9300 and Elliot 803B systems.
It
also lists an ICL1904 running George Mk 8.64.

I see that the mainframe configuration included a "British Standard
Interface" -
so the one we had at City University wasn't the only one then :-)
"George Mk 8.64" is presumably some release of George III (or possibly IV)
