IBM taught us FARGO and AUTOCODER as 1401 operators in the early 1960s so we could fix programs sent in for compiles when we were on the evening and midnight shifts. John T.

From the reference document: "Rest assured that no hardware knowledge is required to use spec effectively. But you will have a head start if you have past experience with the IBM 407 Accounting Machine, which influenced the design of spec." Spec is basically the 407 implemented in software.
