Hi folks

About 1962 I was studying at a University in the UK. For some classes we 
used a computer that had punched paper tape infeed. All else I remember 
about it was that it filled two or more rooms in a converted house and was 
called "Mercury". I think it was based on valve components. At the time, just 
the bees' knees.
