It dates from 1966: "A Report on Computers in Russia (First Edition)", by Computer Consultants Limited, approx 200 pages. Apparently done with full cooperation of the Russian Government. It's got fantastic sections on all types of Russian computer equipment (including calculators and punched card equipment), with a handful of pages given to each machine within each section. It looks like the report was done for the (perceived) benefit of the Russian and UK Governments (and to some extent the US) by Computer Consultants, and so as it stands I suspect there's no way for anyone who doesn't already have one to get hold of a copy. Having said that, it's hole-punched and held together with a metal clasp. Someone with a scanner and ADF could probably whizz through it pretty quickly (although the pages are somewhat dog-eared at the edges). cheers Jules
