Perhaps you mean the 557?
I do, indeed.
Thank you
That was a unit-record machine that I didn't use much.
For my father's work, I mostly did keypunch, verify, counting sorter, and
lots of simple FORTRAN..
At Goddard, I did my own punching, and put in time on the Gerber Data
Digitizer (a graphic arts style table with etch-a-sketch controlled
crosshairs and a foot pedal, connected to an 026 punch). A little APL,
and a lot of FORTRAN, particularly writing stuff to output to calcomp and
Stromberg-Datagrphix plotters. ("plodders")
