Shmuel, My best memory of the frantic golf-ball that was the 1052 when supporting OS-MVT (it was much quieter with BOS and DOS) was when the morning shift was starting up as I was finishing a night's testing. The lead operator knew just exactly when a WTOR had been issued by the system but still queued many, many tens of lines of messages behind the current message. The poor machine never had a respite while waiting for the operator to key the reply during these IPLs.
However, the reason I'm posting is that I believe the model number of the display operator console which I marveled at first as late as 1980 was 2250 and not 2260.
