Ah, the LGP-30! I've actually programmed one, back around 1980 or so, at the University of Calgary. Some friends and I got a collection of computers to play a musical piece. The LGP-30's role was to do the percussion. It was a bit of a challenge to get it to output the rhythm (pounding on the flexowriter) at speed, but we eventually figured out how to get the program to go fast enough for this. Of course, we probably didn't know all the good tricks...
