ABSTRACT
There is a fairly large amount of recent literature on the subject of automatic coding for large calculators. For example there are the various compilers constructed for UNIVAC, the International Business Machines (IBM) 701 speed coding system, and the Summer Session Computer of the Whirlwind project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Calculators
The calculators column is intended to focus on that aspect of computing history that in many respects preceded the introduction of the computer and has paralleled the computer for the past 50 years as the original “desktop” machine, and in ...
