I found this article:

https://wiki.edunitas.com/IT/en/114-10/Works-Records-System_4809_Copy_eduNitas.html

That source claims that Works Records System was designed by Dr. Robert Mais, 
an employee of ICI's Mond Division, with an implementation team that included 
Ken Dakin.

The article mentions that WRS used macro level CICS. If that's still true for 
the latest/last build of WPS then presumably it'd require MacKinney's CICS 
Macro Level Interpreter to run. There's a scanning utility called DFHMSCAN, 
available through CICS TS 5.5 (removed in 5.6 and higher), that can determine 
whether load modules use CICS macros.

...Kenneth Dakin has a LinkedIn profile! And his LinkedIn biography highlights 
his experience writing WRS.
