There's no provision for any courses on the timetable. All input is via papertape, i.e. every program change means an entire recopying of the tape instead of a one-card insertion. There are seven Flexowriters at which sit seven users making seven times seven errors per minute. The professor of Numerical Analysis is a German and his English is equivalent to your Norwegian. There is no printer.
Output is made via punched tape, printed later character by character on the Flexowriters.
But something called a carrousel has been ordered from Denmark consisting of 128 minimagnetic tapes on a rotatable wheel, highly reminiscent of a fairground. And Algol to you is as a red rag to a bull. We have arrived at the fairground. However there are two glimmerings of hope. One is that no one actually expects anything, so no matter how much you muck it up, no one will ever know.
