About the speaker

Peter Onion was first introduced to an Elliott 803 at Loughborough Grammar School. This was one of several 2nd hand 803s that found their way into UK schools in the 1970s. He began working on an 803 emulator in ~1985. Peter first became involved with the CCS during the time that an 803 was under restoration in the old canteen at the Science Museum.

Today Peter helps maintain TNMOC’s Elliott 803 and enjoys writing Algol 60 and machine code programmes to demonstrate the machine to visitors.
