The university centre
Abstract
Since the first electronic computers were constructed some 20 years ago, the Universities of this country have been intimately associated with their development, first with their actual construction and design, then with the implementation of autocodes and other high level languages for simpler programming, and they are now about to embark on a phase of exploitation of the possibilities of multi‐access working in which many typewriter devices can appear to give immediate access for different users at the same time. In fact, of course, the multi‐access users are only sharing part of the computers time, but if the system is correctly designed the response to any individual user is rapid enough to give him the impression that he has the monopoly of the computer's attentions.
