		"A Home PC in 1966, Britain's Forgotten Legacy"

	All members are invited to attend the October Meeting of the
	 ACMS to be held on Sunday, 12th October, 1997 from 1:30 pm 

	at   CAFE 29,  at  29  Rochester Street, Homebush.

	   	Agenda: 	Executive Reports 
				General Business  
				Future Events

			Then, our guest SPEAKER for the month..

	Our Secretary, Michael Chevallier, has been researching various 
	early affordable (by whom?) items of computing equipment for some
	time now. Mike recently visited the United Kingdom and visited the
	historic World War II site at Bletchley Park.
	
	Mike has offered to tell us all about what might have been in 1966.
	Was it a miniature version of a code-breaking machine ?
	Was it a transistorised version of a Digital PDP-8 ?

	These and other questions will be answered in full.
	Mike has some interesting photographs as well from the current
	restoration work being done at Bletchley Park.


		AFTERNOON TEA will be served with  COFFEE and cakes.
