IIRC when I got there Script output went to Versatecs for draft output and to APS5 for camera ready. By 1979, DCF superseded Script and 6670s superseded Versatecs for draft output. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCRIPT_(markup) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Generalized_Markup_Language seem fair to me.
