Scope and Content

A4 typed and stapled 8 page Newsletter. This is the third Stroke E newsletter edited and issued by Olaf Chedzoy. It is similar in scope to the other issues, except that this one also contains a transcript of John Bennett’s 1996 Annals paper entitled "Ferranti Recollections (1950 – 1955)". It is believed that this was the last in the series of Newsletters, perhaps being superseded in the reunion spirit by the June 1998 celebrations at Manchester to mark the 50th anniversary of the Manchester Baby computer. It is believed that several former Tin Hut people attended the Manchester event. Olaf himself retained an interest in computer history until his death in January 2020.
