That is a proper computer lesson for certain! I noticed that there are more videos of a similar vintage with some very interesting topics on there. Thanks for that Richard!

What a great piece of film! I started in IT in 1973, on a Honeywell 120. Our interface was an octal keyboard; we had no print console that I can recall, only a line-printer. The way we got data in and loaded programs was via punched cards and tape. I've got some pictures of the old girl somewhere, but I must say that it was quite a bit more advanced than "Nellie", even if it did need a large room and its own electricity sub-station!
Cheers, Laurie.

"Nellie" was probably an Elliott 405 (certainly a 400 series of some type).
