Dad says it had core memory, he believes it was 16k. It was used to operate a outokompu
x-ray spectrometer. Data I/O was via teletype and paper tape reader. They usually used
pre-punched paper tape. They had a pile of spare parts for it. Dad thinks it was left in
the control room, in the computer and analyzer interface area.

was in 1976, at Ruttan mine owned by Sheritt-Gordon in Leaf
Rapids, Manitoba. In '78 they replaced it with a PDP-11.
Would be interesting to know more about it's software, hardware config,
etc.
