Computer control room

Queens Road

By Ian Hudson

Access was available to all terminals throughout the shop from this room. The control panels had to be kept at a constant temperature so the doors were always kept closed and the room air conditioned.

The trolley in the first photograph, with the red wheels, was used to take a replacement cash register wherever it was needed. They were very large and incredibly heavy in those days.

Comments/reviews:

To help keep the temperature down, the windows had a special heat repellent film stuck to them. I remember being told how incredibly expensive this was!

This was always the secret room at the end of the corridor. Only to be entered by the important computer buffs.

I remember when being allowed in, after I went to work in Credit Management, I felt very special; but was quite dissappointed.
