Another of the new ventures is the processing of experimental data while the experiment is still in progress.

Each of four CEA scientists has a small computer in his laboratory a little way up Oxford St., and these are tied in with the IBM 360/50 at the Center. The small machines gather data from the experiment, and pass it on to the larger computer where it is processed. The results are instantaneously fed back to the small machines to be displayed to the scientists...
