We had an 1108 and an 1100 as "scientific machines". They were 36 bit words and did the 8 in 9 for EBCDIC and ASCII. I got pretty good with their FORTRAN and the advent of Data Space early on(mid 70's). I think the 7090's had an EBCDIC option for tapes, but it had an extra bit somewhere and we had to write conversion pgms to import into SCEPTRA(?).
