And here is my 48K spectrum - you can see the plug that carried the full output from the matrix on the back of the Spectrum to the Hewlett & Packard keyboard that I rescued from a defunct PC.

I had an Epson FX80 dot matrix printer and twin Micro-Drives.

A friend on mine who was a shift supervisor at Bougainville Copper’s 135 Mw oil fired, steam turbines, power station, where I worked at that time.

One of his jobs was to do a monthly report on the efficiency of each of the three sets.  

Having bought a 48K Spectrum he sat down and taught himself Spectrum Basic and created a program that would do the whole thing for him. All that he to do was enter the correct data for the three sets.
