SUMMARY:Cold War to Coal Trains: TOPS - British Railways’ first computer based train operating system
DESCRIPTION:TOPS was a computer system implemented by British Railways from 1973 to control its freight traffic. TOPS allowed BR to keep tabs on its rolling stock across the whole rail network using  IBM 370 mainframe computers in London.  It was a major step towards modern management of railways in the UK and strongly influenced by Geordie managers. TOPS was developed in the USA through collaboration between IBM and Southern Pacific. The software had its origins in the US Strategic Air Command’s SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) system which gave early warning of Soviet bomber attacks on the US.  TOPS was not so much “swords into ploughshares” as “Cold War to Coal Trains”. \nThe research is a collaboration between Bob Gwynne of the National Railway Museum\, York and Jonathan Aylen to understand the history of computerisation on British Railways and shows how railways shaped society and their contribution to modern management. Jonathan Aylen is President of the Newcomen Society and a Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. \nContact jonathan.aylen@manchester.ac.uk

SUMMARY:The Presidential Address\, Portsmouth: From the First to the Third Industrial Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Robert Taylor’s Presidential Address\nThomas Newcomen was in the vanguard of the first industrial revolution\, which has been well recorded in museums and archives. Indeed\, our Society was founded in 1919 to help prevent the loss of significant records and information. \nWe are now in an era where\, although people are more dependent on technology\, they understand it less and many people have no link with engineering or industry. With the increasing pace of change and technological sophistication\, how can we ensure significant items and evidence can be collected and preserved?
