Still from Tony’s independent film, ‘The Night Ferry’ (1980)

This project is a collaborative one. I'm forever grateful to the following folk:

*-*-* Special Thanks *-*-*

​

> Dr. Victoria Marshall (Chilton Computing), who initiated a punchcard-reading project and also the lecture at RAL, which led to many contributors getting in touch.


> Prof David Duce (Atlas Lab Alumni) for going beyond the call of duty and utterly transforming this project.


> Professor Bob Hopgood (Chilton alumni): I can not thank Bob enough for the huge and priceless contribution he has made to this project.

> And finally and extra special thank you also to Celia Blois, Hellen Hullock, and all of Tony’s family.
