My first IBM machines 083, 519 and 557
I got a job as a computer operator in 1970 and started out in the machine room, handling tens of thousands of punched cards. I used a 083 sorter a 557 interpreter and a 519 duplicator. These last two were programmed using a huge perforated panel and loads of jump leads connecting two holes together.
