I was a tech in Chicago for them before Sperry bought us.

I was a Systems Analyst on the Spectra, wrote programs in BAL and machine language. I moved into sales and finally left with the Sperry purchase. 1st machine I sold was a 70/35 with 64K memory, 10mb hard drive, teletype console, card reader/punch, line printer and a tape drive. Sold it for about $1Million for the sole purpose of printing food stamps.
