Applications
The 2741 was initially developed and marketed for use with the IBM Administrative Terminal System (ATS/360). ATS was an interactive, multi-user text editing and storage system implemented in the mid-1960s using IBM System/360 assembler language.
The 2741's existence then encouraged the development of other remote terminal systems for the IBM System/360, particularly systems that could benefit from the high print quality, interchangeable typing elements, and other advantages of its Selectric mechanism.
APL\360 and ALGOL 68 are two early languages that took advantage of the Selectric print mechanism with its relatively large character set and changeable fonts.
