Hi Steve,

Yes the IBM 1800 was the industrial version of the 1130 family.

I recall meeting someone who had seen in person the 1800 which 
controlled/sequenced the traffic lights in Manhattan midtown area in NYC 
through the 1980s or later.

So a real time controller.  I had not heard of a real time OS for 1130 family, 
thanks for the info.  Hope someone might find a distribution deck for it would 
be fun to add the instructions to the simulator at ibm1130.org

I have a special fondness for those as my very first (in high school) assembler 
real time interrupt driven code was a standalone punch for the card reader.

The A26-2918-3 Functional Characteristics is still a really nice read 
(available at archive.org).

-Robert
