Spectrum Tapestries
Description: The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit home computer that was developed by Sinclair Research. It was released in the United Kingdom on 23 April 1982, and became Britain's best-selling microcomputer. Referred to during development as the ZX81 Colour and ZX82, it was launched as the ZX Spectrum to highlight the machine's colour display, which differed from the black and white display of its predecessor, the ZX81. The Spectrum was released as six different models, ranging from the entry level with 16 KB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KB RAM and built in floppy disk drive in 1987; altogether they sold over 5 million units worldwide (not counting unofficial clones).

Description: Opened as the Spectrum in September 1967, Philadelphia's first modern indoor sports arena was built to be the home of the city's expansion hockey team, and also accommodated the existing pro basketball team The building was the second major sports facility built at the south end of Broad Street in an area previously known as East League Island Park, and now referred to simply as the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Aside from sporting events, decades of concerts were staged at the Spectrum, which was highly praised for its acoustic properties, something that many say can be heard in live recordings made at the venue.
