Bouroughs/IBM docs

So it appears we are talking 250 pounds or so of just cards. A rough guess is that there is around 1000 pounds of documentation there including the cards and manuals. Again, I don't know what computer these cards go to. I *really* wish I had met this guy while he was still alive! Also, do I gather that you both would like the printed software listings also? Between those and the other "Company Confidential" manuals, another couple hundred pounds can be added to the total. We won't mention the two truckloads of paper that has already hit the recycler. They probably are not that old as he started working for Bouroughs at the end of 1969. Apparently there is someone else still in town who used to work at that plant and I hope to get in touch with them. The woman who has all the stuff said she would talk to some of the people she knows who used to work at Bouroughs and get their opinion. She also said there were a lot of older computer books upstairs and I hope to be able to take a look at them either Sunday (tomorrow is TRW Swap meet!) or early next week
