Shop keeper Phyllis used her computer system to automate book keeping, taking the time to prepare from five hours to five minutes.
Having learned the system down to hardware level, Phyllis is now building an electronics kit. Her aim? Build a computer herself; Or as we called it an “electronic gadget”.
What Phyllis doesn’t say is she was a maths graduate from University and “#Cypher Clerk” in “Hut 5” at #BletchleyPark during the war.
The”Official Secrets Act” was in force in 1983 😂🤣☺️
