one salesman claims to have sold 1,000. They were dotted about all
over the place, so when I was a Student in the UK Newcastle
University had a 360/67. The Polytechnic where I studied had an 1130
as an RJE station, as did Durham University, the "Gas Board", and
the British Ship Research Council.
I had no idea! I've programmed an 1130, but it seemed to be rather
limited, but maybe that was what contributed to its popularity and low
cost.
Does that number also include the 1800?
