Hello Terry, I took the 315 class in 1966, Jan.-Nov. in the Brent school and I remember you very well filling the blackboard with lots of chalk. What I do not remember for shure is, who was teaching which part of the 315 system. Dudley Lowe and Gunter Seiz also were instructors for this class (Gunter for 333 Tapes).
My name is Bernd Goltermann and I worked with NCR until 2001 most of the time in Munich as regional support specialist for 315 615 Criterion V9800 and Comten systems.
Attached you can find 2 pictures of our class of 1966. I am the one between Dudley Lowe and Dave Lewis.

 I would like to know whether anybody of you hold information and photos about former
> CPC people.

His name is Salomon Kuperman.

Thank you,

I initiated this topic one month ago to contact NCR UK and International Field Engineeers who received their 315 or 615-100 training in the UK at Borehamwood or Brent. So far no one has  responded.........These people would be well into their 60s or maybe their 70s and some will no longer be with us but surely there must be someone out there that remembers those far off days
in the NCR careers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The logo on the letter head used by the ITEC in the UK and also later by the CTEC in Dayton
was a photocopy of Rodin's famous statue called the THINKER. Don't know who decided to use the THINKER as a logo (it was probably Fred Scheuer) but it was very appropriate.

If my memory serves me correctly  the Central Technical Education Centre (CTEC) was the Computer Training Facility in Dayton for training International Field Engineers. Before the CTEC was set up NCR set up a Computer training operation also for International engineers known as ITEC (International Computer Education Centre) in Borehamwood UK. The ITEC was set up in 1962/1963
under the management of Dr Reidle (a German national). Dr Reidle employed Dave Lewis, Dudley Lowe and me Terry Mozley as instructors in 1963. I first went to Dayton in 1963 to attend a 315 course at the domestic training operation in Dayton, returning to the UK to teach the 315 to international engineers at the ITEC in the UK .....happy days

Thanks for the information Wally

Howard G. Stauffer was Assistant Vice President of International Technical Services Division.
Fred Scheuer was Director Technical Education Department.
The operations of CTEC Dayton were under the management of Dennis J. Palmer (native of South Africa).

Other names I remember from those far off days in the 60s and early 70s are
Howard Stauffer ( I believe Head of International operations based in Dayton)
Fred Schauer (Head of Worldwide Field Engineer training based in Dayton)
Dennis (Surname I believe was Palmer) Manager of the International Field Engineer Training facility in Dayton known as CTEC.
Nick Von Fahnstock (not sure of his title but he was based in Geisen Germany and represnted Fred Schauer in Europe
Dave Friend (instructor at Brent)
Jofhn Moffatt (instructor at Brent)
Tom Baldwin (instructor at Brent who I believe became manager of the ITEC when it eventually moved from Dundee.
Incidentally the Field Training operation in Borehamwood and Brent was known as ITEC. When the ITEC moved to Dundee it lost it's individual identity and became part of a total training operation consisting of 1/ the ITEC, 2/ the domestic UK engineer training operation and 3/ the training operation for programmers

Good to hear from you again Jim. I posted the topic hoping to hear from and chat to some of the 315/615 Field engineers I and my colleagues trained in those early days. The london UK training operation originally started in 1962/63 at Borehamwood on the outskirts of London, Dr Reidle started the school and he was joined by  Dave Lewis, Dudley Lowe and then me. The school moved to Brent in North London about 1964 where it remained until 1971/72 before relocating to Dundee Scotland.

I only know one on your list.  I worked with Hubert Wudke in Hawthorne and/or Rancho Bernardo.  Haven't heard about him for a long time.  I taught some of the 615 classes at Hawthorne to some of the Field Engineering instructors.
