content: This is a photocopy of a 1958 instruction manual for the Ferranti High Speed Tape Readers TR2B and TR3b. It was sent in 1969 from A R S Smith of International Computers Limited to Winfield R. Jacobs of Jacobs Computing Service in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Jacobs had apparently written hopeing to obtain spare parts for the Ferranti device, but this proved difficult. ICL sent drawings of the lamp contact assemblies sought, suggesting that they might be manufactured locally.
