Some staff are remembered with on-site memorials.
Paul Nelson was originally in the Harwell Computing Group and was responsible for setting up the remote connection to Aldermaston and Risley. He joined the Atlas Computer Laboratory when it was formed and was instrumental in acquiring both the SC4020 and FR80 microfilm recorders. He was particularly interested in film generation producing the first computer generated film on the SC4020. He helped many users with their own activities. He organised the collaboration with Swift Films that enabled the Laboratory to generate films in colour and with soundtracks quite early on in the history of computer animation.
Jed Brown was a chemist by training and provided support for the chemistry community on Atlas with John Baldwin. He moved into more general user support being heavily involved with the Interactive Computing Facility, the Single User System Programme and later Office Automation.
Anton Walter joined the Laboratory as a statistician initially working with Brian Cooper on ACSOP. He moved on to be a systems programmer on the 1906A and was a member of the systems team that developed Starlink in the period 1980 to 1982.
Chris Hims was a sandwich student who spent two periods in Paul Bryant's group working on GEC systems and networking. He was killed in an automotive accident.
