Didn't those NOVAs have hamsters on wheels that make the gears grind to get the punch cards out?

We received this request via our web contact address, and realized that our records are incomplete (it is less than ten years after we opened), so if anyone has any recollections or information we would love to combine it. There is some information in http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED166018.pdf (page 218) that cites an 8 terminal NOVA and later a NOVA 800. The DEC PDP 11/70 was a UCB service. This is a little earlier than the '75-77 time frame requested. The numbers in this report are startling (to me). Ken Roland sent a message using the contact form at http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/contact-us. "During 1975-1977 what was the main computing platform at the campus, namely the Lawrence Hall of Science? My first experience with computers was there, and I would just like to know what the mainfraime/mini computer I was using. Its' the last part of my "computer history" that is unclear. Thanks."
