'By "accident" (i.e Google) I found this article by Richard very good! Everybody should read that:
http://www.bbceng.info/Designs/designs_reminiscences/Richard_Russell/rtrdd.html
In summer 1974 I had my first computer cource in Reading, UK. There we had to learn PDP-11 /RT 11 op sys, assembler etc.
I felt in love in the nearby (1974) hotel 'George' . I wonder if still exists there near DEC (HP?) building.
My very 1st application in 1974-75 was FFT program to analyze magnetic tape signals recorded in noisy paper factories. Then salesmen could prove to paper factories --all around the world - that they should purchase new high speed paper machinery from N62E to get steady process. Most did.

I know (that's where I copied it from) but you've got to read to the end of Part 1 before you are likely to spot it! The material in Part 1 is so ancient that, from my perspective, it's not likely to be of much interest to anybody other than (ex-) BBC employees. Part 2 comes much more up-to-date and covers things that are still relevant today such as HDTV, Test Cards, the Transform PAL Decoder etc.
Richard.
