• Events in the early history of the Computer Laboratory: Programming Languages
  CPL: joint project with University of London, Cambirdge team initally led by David Barron and later Christopher Strachey, also included David Hartley, Martin Richards and David Park. Pioneered many new programming language ideas but only partially implemented on Titan. CPL was 'father' of BCPL and subsequently 'great grandfather'of C.
