CW@50 - July 3 1969: Railway research looks to the way ahead

It will also ensure that optimum speed is maintained throughout a journey.

The National Museum of Computing has also provided us with full hi-res scans of the pages in this gallery. You can read all the articles featured by downloading this PDF >>
