I think it may be for an IBM 1500, the educational
system based on an 1130.
The 1500 I worked with at the University of Texas School of Education was based
on an 1800 (which is of course the same architecture as the 1130, but in highboy
industrial cabinetry rather than a desk. Coursewriter II and APL\1500 for the
educational software, FORTRAN II and assembler for background tasks.

I think most were 1130 (1131 to be more precise) based, but a few were
indeed 1800. Not sure why - maybe larger installations?

I recall that Standard Oil in Whiting, IN conducted on-site classes for
local high-school students on their 1800. This was about 1967 or so.
Wasn't the 1800 introduced slightly before the 1130? I seem to remember
something about that.
