I sometimes visited with the night operator.

I think there was a Model 8 and a Model 12 also.
We should say that the full name as System 3 Model 15D.


Back in high school (Fountain Valley High School, Fountain Valley, CA, Class of 1980), I had two years of programming on an IBM 370/135 at the District Office. We had a dozen terminals in the room (a motley collection including Lear ADM-1s and an ADM-3, a couple of Datamedia Elites, as many as 3 Decwriters, a Model 43 TTY, and a portable thermal printer that could use a built-in acoustic coupler modem), all multiplexed on a pair of leased lines (if we were lucky, we could get them all going at 300 Baud!). OS was McGill University MUSIC. Compilers available were VS BASIC, FORTRAN G1, and WATFIV.

They later upgraded to a 4341 on site, still running MUSIC, but with a whole room (the "business" lab) full of Memorex 3270 terminals.

Batch jobs had to be submitted on Hollerith cards; there was one keypunch available.
