File:Ferranti Archives SPEC-FER-FOL-143 Plastic wallet holding the Spectrum Test Box Mk 1 drawing.pdf
Summary
[edit | edit source]Photograph of the clear plastic wallet, held with a paper clip, in which Ferranti kept part of its file on the ZX Spectrum ULA test box. The sheet visible through the plastic is the Mk 1 layout sketch of the test box, SPEC-FER-SCH-144, with its title block dated 21 June 1983. Ink from the papers has transferred to the plastic as faint mirror-image marks in the lower half of the sheet, too faint to read, and the edges of further sheets with small handwritten figures show along the bottom. The catalogue date of 21 June 1983 is the date of the drawing inside, not of the wallet. The wallet was found in the folder SPEC-FER-FOL-155. Part of the Ferranti Archives 2026.
