No, we didn't have the "logger."   That sounds like a real kluge.  Once I got the grand tour of the Schafer plant in Carpenteria with Andy McClure, and saw their logging system using a KSR-33 Teletype unit.  I really liked the 903 system, but never really never got to play with one -- mostly 902s.  And a couple of Ken Aitken specials, the aforementioned Gates, and a Broadcast Products brain that I tricked into doing time-insertion like a 903, using a timer that I built myself.
