A short recording of the ex-Tarmac ICL 2966 mainframe in operational condition. Also shows me running Conway's Game of Life on it!

This system was a larger, more capable grandchild of the ICL 2903e which was marketed to schools. More information on the excellent ICL-CES site.
At the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge you can punch a message onto tape. It uses a 5 bit (ITA-2 CCITT-2 Baudot-Murray) code: reference https://www.cryptomuseum.com/ref/ita2/index.htm.

Not directly related to ICL-CES but when the code that students wrote on the coding sheets may have converted into paper tape to be input into a machine for processing. Students would then have received (at a later date) a printout of their program output and their program on a roll of tape!

Nice examples, although I don't think they'd use images like these in examples today!
