@symbo1ics.bsky.social

It's always gratifying to see high quality scans of the original pages, in an archive. This kind of first class typesetting is rarely done these days and typographers can learn from it.

#typography #retrocomputing

Footnotes on the above page of machine code/assembly language:

¹ The electronic computer ERMETH was constructed 1953–1956 under the direction of Prof. E. Stiefel and Prof. A. P. Speiser in the Department of Applied Mathematics (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich). The ERMETH was in operation from 1956 until 1963; since 1960 it had an Algol compiler designed by Dr. H. R. Schwarz.
² The external and internal operation symbols of the ERMETH are: A|01: clear and add; S|19: store; +|02: floating add; ×|04: floating multiply; C|21: jump; C+|22: jump if positive. The digits following the operation symbol denote index (B-line) and address (these two are separated by a comma in the external notation). At 9900 begins the square root routine (with automatic return), and 9001 contains the floating point constant 1. It is assumed that the addresses of a[0], c[0] and label[0] are stored in index registers 1, 3, 9 respectively, and that j is stoed in storage position 4. For more details on ERMETH see J. R. Stock [36].

³ The operation symbols of CODAP [11] are: LDA: clear and add; FAD: floating add; FMU: floating multiply; STA: store; RTJ: jump with automatic return; ENA: enter address of operand for the subsequent function call; AJP: conditional jump (P if positive, M if negative).
