Using EDSAC...
"EDSAC users prepared programs on punched paper tape.
The operator would load the tape in the reader and press the
START button. The EDSAC 'initial orders' would automatically
read in the program, translate it into binary machine code
and numbers, then start the program running. Output was
typed on a teleprinter. The operator could monitor the
program using a bank of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to peek at
the contents of store and the registers."
