The Computer Programme

Talking to a Machine (1x3)

Air date: Jan 25, 1982

Ian shows us what fairground musical machines have in common with "modern" day computers - punched cards of course! Chris almost shoots Ian with a rifle - pity that! Gill brings some sense of normality to proceedings by showing why computers are important in manufacturing by demonstrating CNC lathes. Ian and Chris finish this programme by programming a computer to shows basic control of a computer arm.
