whlcl: not only utilizes the data carried by the ledger card
media. and other bpnt media in addition to key-board
entry ,bta to perform all calculations invo.lvc.d in a computing op2mtion, but additionally, as an mCldent. to t?e
CO~'pl!tjng opera lion, UPti8tcs the ledger card data m bo,h
its rrintcd hum~m,readab!e ~lHd its magnetically·rc:::orded
m:~ch;ne-readable sections ~:id is thereby capable of producing a printed journal s:1cet and other output documen~s, if desired.
A further object of the present invention is to devise a
novel Jaw-cost compllter which is capable of suppressing
all insignificant digits while updating the ledger card data
in both its printed human-readable and magneticallyr~cordcd mac11inc-rcadable sections.
And another object of the present invention is to devise a new a;ld improved low-cost transistorized computer
which docs not require air conditioning and which utilizes

effective to control printing of the numerical digit correspondin~ to the digital po,ition of that particular amount
rack as previously de~cribed. "Vith ,the exception of th~
rightmost one of teeth 101, all of the teeth on rack extension 98 arc equally spaced by a distance of approximately five thirty-seconds of an incb. However, in order
to provide a suitab;c clearance of approximately twentyfivc thousandths of an inch between rack-stopping pin

AdJiliomUy, the buffer mechanism is so positioned that
c.lch end Ot rack-stopping pin 138 is in close proximity 10
the front surhcc of leaf 1-12. As a result, !eaves H2
and 143 provide a support for the backside of pin 13::
to absorb tile force of the blow exerted by the rack teeth
on pin 138 when the rack is suddenly stopped thereby.
However, it has been found that when the rack is traveling
at maximum velocity in the rearw::lrd setting direction
and is brought to a sudden stop by pin 138 being inserted
in front of one of teeth 101, the lower ends of !eaves
142 and 143 are delkcteJ to the right as viewed in
FIG. 3B. When the rack is suddenly brought to a standstill, the depending legs 'Of leaves 142 and 143, due to
the energy stored therein, attempt to resume their original
position. As a result, they tend to overshoot their mark
by deflecting to the left and thus attempt to drive the
rack in the opposite direction. To minimize this !I;l(iesirable effect, a screw 146 is slid ably mounted in aligned
holes formed in leaves 142 and 143 and is threaded in
leaf 144. A pressure setting spring 147 is interposed between the head of screw 146 and washer 148 positioned
against the front face of leaf 142. Thus, by sui!clhle
adjustment of screw 146, a suitable friction damping effect
is provided the rack-stopping mechanism anJ rebounding
of the racks is minimized.
As previollsly described, during a rack setting operation,
all non-stopped amount racks travel in unison and in
alignment with the other. Consequently, control means
have been provided whereby the computer not only (ktects the corresponding digital positions of ali stopped
racks, but, in addition, detects the point-by-point digital
position of all non-stopped racks. With refer~nce to FIG.
4, an eleventh or timing rack 149 is provided havi~lg a
constn;ction and mode of operation exactly the same as
the just-described amonnt and auxiliary racks 49 and 55,
respectively, with the exception that timing rack 149 is
not stoppel\ at any time by' a depressed key on the accounting machin(') keyboard and is not provided with a
solenoid-actuated rack-stopping mechanism. Actually, a
conventional amount and auxi'liary rack are used for this
pllrposeand the row of keys. located on the accounting
machine keyboard and which selectively stop that particular rack when depressed, along with the zero stops
"6 (FIG. 3A) associated therewith, have been removed.
Timing rack 149 is provided with an extension 150 ,11tached thereto by pin 99 and spring clip too, and is essentially of the same general construction as rack extensions
98 with the exception that rack extension 150 does not
have any tceth formed thereon.
With reference to FIG. 7, to::;ether with the partbl
plan view thereof in FIG. R, a fbt ;nd horizont,llly disposed, timing rack comb 151 is welded to the up;:Jcrmost
face of rack cxtension ISO ::mu hilS formed therein eight
rectangular shJped slots IS;! par~Jlel disposed ',vith respect to cne another with their long axes pc.rpcnd:cululy
disposed with respect to the direction of movement of
rack extension 150. An L-shaped br[;c1cet 156 i~ afllxcd

157 threaded therein, and a cubic::.l block of insulating
material 153 is attGched to the lower frent face of the
depending leg of bracket 1% by me~ms of screws 151)
threaded in block 158. Block 158 hr,s embeddd there!"
a photocell 160 whose terminal~ are connected to output
terminals 16,1 and adapted to be energized by leads 162
connected to a suit8ble source of electrical energy, not
shown. A further L-shaped bracket 163 is attached to
mounting bar 81 by suitable means, not shown, and h:Js
mounted on the horizontal leg portion thereof, a light
source 164 which is energized by leads HiS connected to
a suitable source of electrical energy, not shown. A horizontally disposed flat plate 166 is fixedly secured to the
lower end of block 15S by suitable means, not shown, al}d
is positioned directly below and parallel with respect to
timing rack comb 151 intermediate light source 164 and
comb 151. Plate 166 has a single rectangular-shaped slot

22
167 formed therein disposed substanti~lly parailel with
respect to, anti of sufficient length so as to partially overInp the slots formcd in cow:' 151. It is evident, therefore,. tint as liming rack 150 is moved from left to right,
5 as viewed, the slots formed in comb 151 sequentially coincide with the slot formed in fixed plate 166, thus seqnentially exposing light source 164 to photocell 160.
For the accomplishment of the desired objectives in
accordance with the present invention, it is desirable that
10 the sequential alignment of slots 152 and 167, from the
rigiltmoc;t to the leftmost of slots 152, be synchronized
with the time 2.t which the non-stopped amount racks
simultaneollsly pass through digital positions number 'T'
thm "8." For example, at the beginning of a rack15 setting operation when all the amount racks are positioned in their number "0" digital positions, the relative
positions of slots 152 with respect to slot 167 are as
shown in FIG. 8.
Howevcr, when the non-stopped
amount racKs arc approaching their number "1" digital
20 positions, slot 167 is also approaching alignment with
the rightmost one of slots 152; when all non-st'Opped
amount racks arc approaching their number '·2" digital
positions, slot 167 is approaching alignment with the
second [rom the rightmost one of slots 152; and so on,
25 twtil ~JI non-stoppcd amount racks are approaching their
number "8" digital positions, at which time ~lot 167 is
approaching the eighth or leftmost one of slots 152.
However, as the just-described solenoid-actuated rackstopping mechanism is not capable of inserting rack30 stopping pin 133 (FIG. 6) in front of the desired one of
rack teeth 101 in a zero amount of time even after the
corresponding solenoid is energized, the computer, hence
the solenoid, must be "warned" or I~otified slightly in advance in order for the rCick-stopping mechanism to be
35 effective in slopping its related mck at the desired digital
po,;ition. For example, it has been empirically determined
that, with a r::;ck traveling at an average velocity of
approximately twenty inches per second, approximately
one-tenth of an inch is sufIicient anticipation for the rack40 stopping mechanism. Consequently, as the tooth pitch
of the amount racks is approximately equal to five thirtyseconds of an inch, slots 167 and 152 are in substantial
alignment approximately two-thirds of a digital position
ahead of the non-stopped amount racks. However, as the
4:) amount racks start with an initial velocity of "zero" and
are therefore traveling at a relatively low velocity when
passing tilWllgh digital positions number "1" and number
"2," and also as the spacing between the first and the
second on~s of rack tc~[h IG1 is approximately twenty50 five thousandths of an inch less than the pitch of the remainin& teeth, as previollsly mentioned, the distance betwecn tbe slots formed in comb 151, at the rightmost end
thereof, are mllch less than the distance between the slots
formed in the leflmost end thereof.
Ideally, the slot spacing should approximate the curve55
plot of rack velocity vs. time. However, due to various
loading conditions of the amount racks occurring during
the setting operation thereof, the exact spacing between
slots are empirically determined. Such an empirical de60 termination is as follows: a satisfactory distance between
slot 167 and the first one of slots 152, counting from right
to left and when in a "0" digit position, is .045 inch; a
satisfactory dist:mce between the second and the third
on;:;s of slots 152 is .162 inch; and the consecutive dis65 tances between the remaining adjacent ones of slots 152
are .164, .153, .157, .153 and .139 inch, respectively,
corresponding to slot distances 3-4, 4-5 5-6 6--7
and 7-8; a slot width of .030 inch ha; been' found
satisfactory.
70
"Vith reference to FIG. 3B, there is shown a mechanical type of memory device which is utilized bv the computer to temporarily store indications of the digital positions of each of the amount racks at the end of the previously-initiated rack-setting opcration. The device then
7G operates suitable output means in the form of a con-

ventional card or paper tape punching mechanism which
makes a permanent record of all of the sequentbl digital
positions at which the amount racks were stopped during
a programming or computing operation.
Such a memory device consists essentially of a horiZiontally disposed upper switch-basket, indicated generally
as 170, and a horizontally disposed lower switch basket
located directly below switch-basket 170 and indicated
generally as 171. Upper switch-basket 170 consists essentially of a substantially flat, rectangular-shaped and horizontally disposed board 172 composed of a suit::bk e~ec­
trically non-conductive material, such as fiberboard or the
like, and affixed to the underside of cross-bars 173 by
means of screws 174 threaded therein. Cross-bars 173,
in turn, are affixed to side plates 88 by means of scrC'NS
175 which are threaded in the ends of bars 173 as shown
more clearly in FIG. 4. Board 172 is provided with tcn
equally spaced and rectangular shaped slots 176, the long
axis of each slot being in axial alinement with the direction of movement of a different one of the amount racks.
A column of ten pairs of equally spaced and met~l!ic
spring-clips 177 are fixedly secured to an electricaHy nonconductive mounting block 178 and collectivcly form a
unitary assembly of the upper switch-basket. As shown
more clearly in FIG. 12, the lower end of each pair of
spring-clips 177 making-up a column is "snapped in" :md
held by the same one of the rectangular slots formed in
board 172. With reference back to FIG. 3B, crlch column of spring-clips is disposed directly above and oriented
parallel with respect to the direction of movement of a
corresponding amount rack, and the spriag-ciips within
the column arc spaced in a manner such that each pair
is positioned with respect to another pair to correspond
to a different one of the ten digital positions of that particular amount rack. Each of the spring-clips hilS connected thereto an electrical conductor forming a p.dcd

As diagrammatic:illy illustrated in F1G. 44G, and, as
ShO"lll by the timing chart of FlG. 87C, for rensons to
become more appnrent herein:,·fter each time main cam
shaft 533 of the mnchinc is rota led clockvvisc through an
arc oE 126 degrees from the starting position as shown
in FIG. 46B, cam 592 engages the movable nrm of switch
SC49 sHch thnt the normnUy-opencd contncts thereof nrc
closed thereby; when the main cam shaft is rotated 168
degrees clockwise from the starting position as sho·llln,
cam 592 additionally engages the movable arm of switch
SC48 such that the normally-opened contacts thereof are
closed and the normally-closed contacts thereof arc
opened thereby; when the main cam shaft is rotated 182
degrees, the movable arm of switch SC49 is released by
cam 592 and the normally-opened contacts thereof resume their initial opened condition; a 213 degree clo~k­
wise rotation of the main cam shaft causes cam 593 to
engage the movable arm of switch SC42 SHch that the
normally-opened contacts thereof are closed thereby; a
224 degree clockwise rotation of the m~ljn cam shaft
causes the movable arm of switch SC43 to be relcB.sed
by cam 592 such that the norm:llly-opened and the normally-closed contacts of switch SC48 are allmved to resume their initial mnditions; and, a 264 degree clockwise
rotation of the main c:lm shaft causes the movable "rm
of switch SC42 to be released by cam 593 such th;;t the
contacts thereof are allowed to resume their initial conditions.
As previously mentioned, due to the incorpomtion of
an overdraft control mechanism in the accounting machine portion of the present computer, true negative totals
are permitted to be selectively printed-out from any of
the tot:llizers therein, all of which is fully described in
the previously referred-to Patent 2,626.,749. ""\lith reference to the fc:gmentary view of FlO. 44f, which ess"ntiallycorresponds to FIG. 47 of the jllst referred-to patcnt,
the overdraft control mechanism includes an overdraft
cam shaft 601 extending tmnsverscly across the machine
beneath base 65 ~nd is jOLlrnaled in brackets 602, only
one of which is shown. which are secured to the underneath side of base 65 by means of screws 603 threaded
therein. Secured to overdraft shaft 601 is a spur gear
6114 which disconnectably engages a similar spur gear,
not shown, mounted on main cam shaft 588 (FIG. 44D).
As fully described in the just referred-to patent, the pitch
diameter of overdraft gear 6(}4 is twice that of the simi!:!r
gear mounted on the main cam shaft of the machine,
thereby causing ovcrdwft eam shaft 601 to be rotated at
one-half the speed of main cam shaft 588 when the latter
is rotated during a machine cycle.
In accordance with the present invention, a pair oJ leaf
switches, indicated generally as SC45 and SC47, are insulated from and fixedly secured to bracket 605 by me:ll1S
of screws 606 threaded therein, bracket 605 being fixedly
secured to bracket 602 by suitable means not shown.
Rotatably mounted on a stud 607 (FIGS. 44C and 44E)
afilxed at one end to bracket 605, are a pair of C3m follower arms 608 and 609 which are respectively spring
biased in a clockwise direction, as viewed in FIGS. 44C
and 44E, by means of springs 610 and 611. Fixedly secured to overdraft cam shaft 601 me a pair of cams 6~2
and 613 which are propcrly positioned on shaft 601 so
os to engage rollers 614 and 615 respectively carried by
cam follower arms 608 and 609. Respectively affixed to
the upper end of each of arms 608 and 609 is one of a
pair of insulating tips 616 and 611 which are adapted to
respectively engage leaf switches SC45 and SC47.
With additional refercnce to the timing chart of FIG.
87C, when main cam shaft 588 is rotated 30 degrees from
the initial starting position thereof, overdraft cam shaft
601 is engaged thereto and is thereafter rotated at onehalf the speed of the main cam sh~.. ft. Thereafter, each
time overdraft shaft 601 is rotated 10 degrees counterclockwise from its starting position as sl;own in Fi;.
44C, cam follower arm 608 is permitted to be rocked

clockwise by spring 610 due to the decreased diameter
of cam 612 being presented to roller 614. ThLIS, when
arm {lOS is rocked clockwise, the normally-closed cont:lcts
of leaf switch SC-15 :lre opened thereby. E,:ch time overdnit Shelft 601 is rotated 165 degrees counter-clockwise
frem its initial starting position, an increased diameter
c[ cam 6U is prescnteJ to roller 614, and, consequently,
Cuil1 fonmver mm 608 is rocked counter-clockwise and
thereby closes the contacts of switch SC45.
With aJliitional reference to FIG. 4~E, each time overdr:lft Sh,lft 6(;1 is rotated 260 degrees counter-clockwise
from its starting position as shown, the maximum diamctcr of cam 613 is presented to roller 615, and, consequently, cam follower arm 609 is dcllected counter-clockwise sl!~h thllt the normally-opened contacts of leaf switch
,SCi7 are closed thereby. However, each time the overdraft shaft is rotated 290 degrees counter-clockwise from
its startiJlg position, the minimum diameter of cam 613
is prcsented to roller 615 to allow arm 609 to be rocked
clockwise by spring 611, which, in turn, allowcJ the contacts of switch SC47 to resume their undeflccted positions
as shown.

It is to be apprecinted that substantially anyone of the
multitude of commercially available paper tape or card
recording mechanisms is quite easily adaptable to be
utilized by the present computer to provide a permanent
record of all of the sequential digital positions at which
the amount racks of the accounting machine portion
thereof were selectively stopped doing a programming
or computing operation. However, FIG. 44H discloses a
partially cro~s-scctional and fragmentary view of a preferred high speed paper tape recording mechanism so
utilized by the present computer, wbich mechanism is
fully described in copcnding application Serial No.
820,539, filed June 15, 1959, by Richard C. Simmerman
et n1. and assigned to thi.: present nssignee, FIG. 44H of
the present application being substantially identical to
FIG. 1 of the just-mentioned copen ding opplication.
It is to be notcd at the outset that the recording mechanism partially shown in FIG. 44H essentially relates to
that portion of the entire mechanism which is utilized,
together with a common feeding means, for punching a
single hole in the paper tape during each operation thereof. As it is dc:,ired to utilize a transversely oriented
column of eight holes, plL!s one sprocket hole, in a recorJing tape Ivith respect to the travel thereof, and in
accordance with the parlicular code associated with the
punching mechanism, it is to be appreciated that the
complete paper tape recording mechanism, in fact, includes a combination of nine substantially identical ones
of such punching mechanisms shown in FIG. 44H, plus
the single paper tape feeding means.
As shown, side frames 618, only one of which is shown,
form the main supporting structure for the recording
mechanism, side frames 618 being held in a fixed spacedapart rclation:;hip by means of a plurality of cross-bars
including a punch guide block 619, a punched lever
comb 621}, and a punch interposer guide block 621. A
rcct:.mgulf\rly-shaped punch Slipport block 622 is fixedly
secured to one of side-plates 618, by suitable means not
shown, and is provided with a single row of nine bores
formed therethrough, each bore being adapted to have
slid ably disposed therein a punch member 623. Each
of the punch members 623 is provided with a recess located midway its length, into which is disposed one end
of a p;

auxiliary frame plate, and its lower end is pivotally connected to the forward end of a link 518. The rcar end
of the link 518 is pivotally connected to the upper end of
a follower arm 519, which is retatably mounted on a
~haft 526 and is provided with rolls 521 and 522, which

of th<;: uccounting machine.
Hence, during each cycle of operation of the accounting machine, the C¢ through 99. In addition to the one hundred normal addresses, there are two additioool addresses
t\abeJed "A" and "B." The words stored in addresses ¢¢
through 99 not only represent arithmetic data., but also
represent "instructions" which are utilized oy the computer to dictate the sequence of opemti'Ons therein. The
words previously stored in addresses ¢¢ through 99 of
the memory may be changed by instructions given by the
computer; however, the words located in addresses A and
B are used by the computer to store intermediate results
during arithmetic computations and cannot be changed
directly by instructions.
With reference to FIGS. 52a and 52b, there is schematically shown the ferrite core memory utilized by the
present computer. Such a memory comprises four thou-

3,112,304

63
sand and eighty type N-400-080 ferrite cores at p'resent
manufactured byuhe assignee 'Of the instant applicati'On.
The ferrite cores of the memory are selectively ar,ranged
in a pattern of rectangularly-shaped configuration having one hundred two vertical columns and forty horizontal
rows thereof. The fi.st one hundred columns, as viewed
from left to right, respectively represent memory address
locations rprp through 99, whereas the two remaining rightmost columns respectively represent address locations A
and B. ,In each of the columns, from the topmost to the
bottommost core, the forty cores are arranged in a succession of ten groups, with each group containing four
cores. Each group of four cores is representative of a
decimal digit of a predetermined order, whereas all of
the groups of a particular column collectively represent
all of the orders of a word ten decimal digits in length.
Each of the ten successive decimal digits of the word located in any address is respectively identified as the "firstorder" digit through the "tenth-order" digit, where the
first order is the lowest or "penny" digit and the tenth
order is ,the highest order digit of the number or word.
The four cores used to store the first-order digit of a
word which is residing in an address in the memory
a,re located in the first row through the f.ourth row, counting from bottom to top. The four cores used to· store
the second-order digit of the word are located immediately above in the fifth through the eighth rows; in the
drawing, only the fifth and eighth rows are shown, rows
six and seven being omitted for the sake of simplicity.
The four cores used to store the third-order digit are
located immediately above in rows nine through twelve,
where rows nine and twelve are the only ones illustrated,
rows ten and eleven being omitted for the reasons just
mentioned. The location of each higher-order digit
progresses upward, as just described, so that the tenth
or highest-order digit is located at the top of the column in the last four rows shown; i.e., thirty-seven through
forty. Therefore, it is seen, the maximum storage in
each memory address is a ten-digit number which will
hereinafte·r be called a "word," the lowest-ordcr digit
thereof being located at the bottom of each address and
the highest-order digit thereof being located at the top
of each address.
As the instant computer utilizes the well-known "8421
binary-coded-decimal-digit" system of numerical representation, each of the four cores in a group making up a
particular Qrder decimal digit of the word is known as a
"binary-bi!." The binary-bits are consecutively labeled
(a), (b), (e), and (d), where bit (a) is the lowest-order
of representing a particular order numerical digit havin rows #1, #5, #9, and #37, and bit (d) is the highestorder bit represented by the magnetic state of the cores
located in rows #4, #8, #12 . . . and #40. As previously mentioned, each group of four cores ,is capable
of representating a particular order numerical digit havjng a value from "0" through "9." Fer example, to
represent a decimal digit having a value ef "0," all of
the fQur cores in a ,group are selectively set to binary
bit representations (0000); for a decimal digit having a
value of "1," the cores are set to (0001) binary bit representations; a decimal digit having a value of "2," the cores
are set to bit representations (0010); a "3" is represented
by (0011); "4" by (0100); "5" by (0101); "6" by
(0110); "7" by (0111); "8" by (1000); and finally, to
represent a decimal digit having a value of "9," the cores
are sequentially set to binary bit representations (1001).
To illustrate, supposing that the word 0000000695 is
stored in memory at address rp1>. In the leftmost vertical
column, the four lowermost cores, indicated by reference
nume·mls 885 through 888, are respectively conditioned to
collectively represent binary bits (0 10 1) indicative of the
first-order digit "5." In other words, cere 885, representative ef binary bit "a,"is set to binary" 1"; core 886,
representative of binary bit "b," is also set to binary '·0";
core 887, representative of binary bit "e," is set to' binary

"1 "; and, fin "lIy. core 888, representative of bit "d," is
set to binary "0" representation. ColIectively, the magnetic state of cores 885 through 888 represents the penny
digit "5." The next group of four cores, located directly
above group 885 through 888, are set to binary bit representatiens (1001) and collectively represent the secondorder decimal digit "9." The next group of fOllr cores are
set to binary bit representations (01 10), collectively representing the third-order decima'l digit "6." All of the
remaining cores in address ¢cp are individually set to
binary "0" representations. Thus, with the non-significant
decimal digits removed, the word becomes "695."
In one mode of operation, when a column of cores is
to be "read out" to determine the word stored in that particular memory address, the cores are sequentially read,
one at a time, starting with the core at the bottom of tbe
address and concluding with a core at the tep of the address. For example, in address rprp, core 885 is read first
to produce the binary value of bit "a" of the first-order
digit; core 886 is read next to produce bit "b" of the firstorder digit; core 887 is read next to produce bit "e"; and
core 888 is next read to produce bit "d" of this digit.
The next four bits, representing the second-order digit,
are successively read out, and the remainder of the bits
for successive higher-order digits are thereafter sequentially read out in the same sequence, concluding with bit
"d" of the tenth-order decimal digit.
After a cere has been read out, it is generally desired to
restore the core to its original magnetic state as before
being read. That is, after each bit-representing core is
read out, if the core was originally set to represent a
binary "l," the core is returned to tbe "1" state following
reading thereof. Therefore, following the reading of
each bit, a predetermined unit of time is permitted to
lapse before the next bit is read out; it is during this time
lapse that the core, just read, is returned to the" 1" state
if it had previously been set to that state.
For the sake of simplicity of the following description, the vertical or column orientation of the memory
will hereinafter be termed the "Y" direction, and the
horizontal or row orientation wiII hereinafter be termed
the "X" direction.
Even though, in reality, eaoh of the memory cores
has five cenductors threaded therethreugh for purposes
to be more fully described hereinafter, only three of
these conductors are to be considered at this time in describing a mode of operation of the memery in terms
ef the electrical schematic diagram thereof shown in
FIG. 52. The first of the three just-mentioned conductors is a "sense winding" 871, which starts at terminal
872 at the lower left corner of the memory and is alternately threaded through each row of cores bounded by
address ¢if> through 99. As shown, sense winding 871
is successively "hreaded from left to right threugh all
of the cores of t,he first row, is threaded from right to
left through the cores of the second row, from left to
right through the third row, and alternately continues
on from row to row. Finally, sense winding 871 is
threaded from right to left through the topmost or fortieth row of cores, ,and terminates at terminal 873. All
of the cores in address  are threaded in the "Y" direction by common current-carrying conductor 878,
which is shown positioned to the left within the apertures thereof. Also, all of the cores located in the first
row bounded by address rprp and address "B" larethreaded
in the "X" direction by a common current-carrying conductor 879, which is shown centrally positioned within
the apertures thereof, address "B" being the rightmost
one of the memory addresses.
It will now be assumed that it is desired to read out
the contents of address ¢. Thus, in order to read bit
Ha" of the first-order decimal digit of the word stored
in address ¢, a half-amplitude or "half-select" current
impulse is delivered to' conductor 878, and, simultaneously therewith, a half-select current impulse is present

3,112,394

66

65
in conductor 879. The two half-select impulses are in
such directions that the magnetomotive forces associated ~herewith are additive in the region of core 885,
with the resultant force being of sufficient magnitude to
rna,gnetically saturate the core in a direction indicative of
a binary "zero." Due to the fact that core 885 is the
only core in the entire memory that has received the
necessary magnetomotive force to cause a reversal of its
magnetic state, all of the remaining cores essentially remain magnetically undisturbed. It is known that whenever the state of magnetic remanence of anyone of the
memory cores is reversed, ,a voltage impulse is induced
thereby in sense winding 871. However, due to the fact
that in the present memory only one core at a tfme is
sensed, there is no ambiguity as to which core was responsible for the impulse induced in the sense winding.
11herefore, if core 885, whose magnetic state is indioative of bit "a" of the first-order digit of the number, is storing a binary "1," its magnetic state is reversed by the coincidental "X" and "Y" read impulses,
and, consequently, a voltage impulse appears between
terminals 872-873 of the sense winding 871, indicating
that core 885 was previously storing a binary "1." If
core 885 had previously been storing a binary "0," however, a voltage impulse does not appear across the output
terminals of the memory sense winding, thus indicating a
binary "0" storage.
After core 885 has been read, its magnetic state is
thereafter indicative of a binary "0," as previously mentioned. Thus, if the magnetic state of the core was indicative of 'a binary "0" before being read, there is no
need for "resetting" the core ufter it is read. However,
if the state of the core was indicative of a binary "1'1
before being read, it is often necessary to "reset" the
core to a binary "1" representation after it has been mad.
To do this, the directions of both of the current 1mpulses
applied through the "X" 'and "Y" conductors are effectively reversed simultaneously. This causes a corresponding reversal of the additive magnetomotive force
in the vicinity of the core, which reverses the magnetic
state thereof. Again, as only a half-select current impulse is applied to each of the "X" and "Y" conductors,
core 885 is the only core in the entire memory that is
magnetically affected thereby.
Now that core 885 has been read 'and afterwards reset to its initial state, core 886 is read next to determine
the binary value of the bit" b" of the first-order digit of
the word. Again, a half-select current impulse is applied in the "Y" direction to conductor 878, and, essentially, a half-select current impulse is simultaneously applied in the "X" direction to nhe conductor of the second
row corresponding to 879. As before, both half-select
currents are in such directions to effect storage of a binary "0" in core 886. If the state of core 8S6 was indicative of a "I" before being read, the current in each
of the "X" and "Y" conductors threaded therethrough
is reversed to reset core 886 to "1" after it is read. This
reading and writing sequence of operation is sequentially continued from core to core until all forty cores of
address <1> have been read and thereafter restored to
their respective magnetic states.
The just-described combined reading and writing cycle
of operation of eaoh core is hereinafter called a "readwrite" cycle. The time requir,ed to complete a readwrite bit cycle in the instant computer is approximately
40 microseconds. During the first 30 microseconds of
the read-write cycle, the core is set to a binary "0" representation; during the remaining 10 microseconds of
the cycle, the core is often reset toa binary "1" representation if it was originally in that state. However, if the
core was originally in a binary "0" state before being
read, there is no resetting operation necessary during the
last lO~microsecond interval. Therefore, to read out an
entire ten-digit word from an address in memory requires a total time of 40X 40, or 1,600, microseconds.

Due to the fact that, in the present memory, it is not
desired to reverse the current flow in a conductor, an
additional conductor is individually threaded in the "X"
direction through each of the rows of cores. This is
i1!ustrated by conductor 880, shown threaded through
the cores of the first row and disposed parallel with respect to conductor 879, previously described. By the
same token, 'an additional conductor is also individually
threaded in the "Y" direction through the cores of each
of memory addresses rp through 9'9, and also addresses
"An and "B." This conductor is illustrated by conductor 881, shown threaded through the cores of address
rp1> and disposed parallel with respect to conductor 878,
previously described. Thus, two conductors are threaded
in the "X" direction and two conductors are threaded
in the "Y" direction through each of the cores of the
memory; each of the fOllr 'wires transmits current in only
one direction, as will be s,hown hereinafter. The fifth
wire through memory cores in addresses rprp through 99
is sense wire 871, heretofore described. A separate
sense winding 891, which originates at terminal 892 and
terminates at terminal 893, is alternately threaded, in
one dipcction and then the other, through the forty rows
of cores making up memory addresses "A" and "B" in
the same manner 'as memory sense winding 871.
Before attempting to give a more detailed description
of the memory, it is to be appreciated that each of the
rows of cores, from the first to the fortieth row, is connected in a same circuit configuration with respect to the
others. Likewise, each of the columns of cores, from
addresses  through 99 and including addresses "A"
and "B," is also of the same circuit configuration with
respeot to the others. Thus, a description and full comprehension of the mode of operation of address rprp with
respect to the first row of cores for producing bit "a" of
the first-order digit of the word stored in address "''''
should suffice for the remaining bits of that digit, and also
the remaining digits of that word. As the mode of operation of address 1>1> is exactly the same as that of the
remaining memory addresses, a further description of the
remaining addresses, again, would result only in unnecessary repetition. It is also to be appreciated that, in an
attempt to simplify the schematic representation of the
memory as shown in FIG. 52, addresses 1>1> through 9
are consecutively shown, reading from the extreme left
to the right; ,addresses 1", and 19 are shown next, with
addresses 11 through 18 being omitted, as indicated by
the vertical "break" in the drawing between addresses 1",
and 19; following in sequence are addresses 21>, 29, 3,
39, 4, 49, 5rp, 59, 6rp, 69, 7rp, 79, 8 89, and 9rp through
99, and finally addresses "A" and "B"; addresses 21-28,
31-38, 41-48, 51-58, 61-68, 71-78, and 81-88 are
omitted. Starting from the bottom of the drawing, the
first four rows are shown which make up the low-order
digit of the word stored in memory; rows #5 and #8 are
shown next, with rows #6 and #7 omitted as indicated
by the horizontal "break" in the drawing between rows
#5 and #6; following in sequence are rows #9, #12,
#13, #16, #17, #20, #21, #24, #25, #28, #29, #32,
#33, #36, and #37 ,through #40; rows #10-#11, #14#15, #18-#19, #22-#23, #26-#27, #30-#31, and
#34-#35 are omitted.
With particular attention directed to the first row of
cores, on emergence from the rightmost end of the first
row of cores, conductor 880 is connected to conductor
882, which passes below the first row and is connected at
its opposite end to line XDa, located at the bottom left
corner of the memory. The leftmost end of conductor
879 also is connected to line XDa, and its opposite end is
connected to the cathode of one of crystal diodes 876, its
anode being connected to line XG",; and, finally, the remaining left end of conductor 880, on emergence from
the leiltmost end of the first row of cores, is connected to
the cathode of one of crystal diodes 877, whose anode is
connected to line (XGrp)'.

3,112,394

67

Whenever line XDa is activated, that line is effectively
connected to a source of potential of approximately -12
volts. Thus, if line XGtp is simultaneously activated
therewith, that line is effectively connected to terminal
843 of a temperature-compensated current regulator, of
the type previously described with respect to FIG. 51g,
so that a half-select drive current impulse flows from line
XGtp through diode 876 from right to left through conductor 879 and out at line XDa. However, if line
(XGtp)' is simultaneously activated instead of line XGtp,
line (XGtp Y is effectively connected to terminal 843 of
the current regulator, so that a half-select current impulse
from Hne (XGtpY flows through diode 877, thereafter
flows from left to right through the upper loop of conductor 880, and is returned to line XDa by way of conduct or 882. Consequently, it is seen that, when line XDa
is activated, the half-select drive impulse flows in one of
two directions through the cores of the first row, depending upon whether XGtp or (XGtp)' was simultaneously
activated with line XDa.
The electrical connections for rows #2 through #4,
respectively representing bits "b," "e," and "d" of the
first-order digits of the words stored in memory, are
exactly the same as for row #1, the anodes of the four
crystal diodes 877 each being connected to line (XGtp)'
and the anodes of the four crystal diodes 876 being connected to line XGtp. When line XDb is activated, the line
is effectively connected to a potential source of -12
volts, as was line XDa. Thus, when line XGtp is activated simultaneously with XDb, the half-select current
impulse flows from right to left through the cores of .the
second row; if (XG<1>)' is activated instead of XGtp, a
half-select current impulse flows from left to right through
the cores of the second row. By the same token, if XDe
and XGtp are simultaneously aotivated, a half-select current impulse flows from right to left through the third
row of cores; a simultaneous activation of XDe and
(XGtp)' effectively causes a reversal of current flow
through the third row of cores. Finally, XDd and XGtp,
or XDd and (XG<1> Y operate together to effectively send
a half-select impUlse from right to left or from left to
right, respectively, through the fourth row of cores in
the same manner as just described.
As just described, the first four of diodes 877 (i.e., the
ones respectively associated with rows #1 through #4)
have their anodes connected together and returned to
line (XGtp),. The second group of four diodes 877, associated with rows #5 through #8, of which only rows #5
and #8 are illustrated, all have their respective anodes
connected to line (XGIY. The anodes of the third group
of diodes are each connected to line (XG2)', the anodes
of the fourth group being connected ,to (XG3Y, and so
on up the column, with the anodes of the tenth group of
diodes 877 being connected to line (XG9) '. Also, as
shown, the left end of each of the conductors corresponding to 879 and 882 associated with rows #1, #5, #9,
#13 . . . #33, and #37, which rows successively correspond to bit "a" of each successive-order decimal digit of
the word stored in memory, are connected together and
returned to line XDa. Likewise, although not fully illustrated, the left end of each of the conductors corresponding to 879 and 882 but associated ,with rows #2, #6, # 10,
#14 . . . #34, and #38, which rows successively correspond to bit "b" of each successive-order decimal digit of
the word in memory, are connected together and returned
to line XDb. By the same token, although not fully illustrated, the left end of each of the conductors corresponding to 879 and 882 but associated with rows #3, #7, #11,
#15 . . . #35, and #39, which rows successively correspond to bit "e" of each successive-order decimal digit of
the word in memory, are conneoted together and returned
to line XDe. And finally, the left end of the conductors
corresponding to 879 and 882 but associated with rows
#4, #8, #12, #16 ..• #36, and #40, which rows successively correspond to bit "d" of each successive-order

decimal digit of the word in memory, are connected together and returned to line XDd.
With respect to the vertically-disposed column of diodes
located to the right of address "B" and indicated as 876,
the ,first bottom group of four diodes thereof associated
with rows # 1 through # 4 each has its anode connected
to line XGtp; the second group of four diodes 876 located
directly above the first group have their anodes returned
to common line XGl; the anodes of the third group of
diodes 876 are connected to line XG2, and so on, with
the anodes of the last four diodes 876 at the top of the
column and associated with rows #37 through #40 being
connected to common line XG9.
Referring to the lowermost row of diodes 874 located
below row # 1, counting from left to right, the anodes of
the first ten of diodes 874 respectively associated with addresses "'41 through <1>9 are connected to line YG",. With
respect to the next group of diodes 874 located immediately to the right of the first group of diodes and respectively associated with addresses 11 through 19, of which
only addresses 11 'and 19 are illustrated and addresses 12
through 18 are omitted, their anodes are connected to line
YGl; the anodes of the third group of diodes 874 respectively associated with addresses 20 through 29 are connected to line YG2; and so on, with the anodes of the
last group of ten diodes 874, respectively associated with
addresses 941 through 99, being connected to line YG9.
With respect to the upper row of diodes 875, which are
located directly above row #40, the first group of ten
diodes which are respectively associated with addresses
41<1> through 99 have their anodes connected to line
(YG<1»' in the same manner as the lower row of diodes
874. The anodes of each successive group of ten diodes
875, counting from left to right, are respectively connected to lines (YGl)' through (YG9)'.
To complete the electrical connections to memory addresses <1>tp through 99, the upper ends of vertical conductors corresponding to 878 and 883, which are respectively associated with addresses tp<1>, 1<1>, 241, 341, ••• 8tp,
and 9<1>, are connected to line YDtp. The upper ends of
vertical conductors corresponding to 878 and 883, which
are respectively associated with addresses 01, 11, 21,
31, . . . 81, and 91, are connected to line YDI. Only
addresses <1>1 and 9'1 of this group are illustrated, the remaining addresses of this group being omitted for simplicity purposes. Likewise, the upper ends of vertical conductors 878 and 883, which are respectively associated
with addresses 412, 12, 22, 32, . . . 82, and 92, are connected to line YD2. This sequence of connections continues from lines YD3 through YD9, where YD9 is connected to vertical conductors corresponding to 878 and
883, which are respectively associated with addresses <1>9,
19, 29, 39, . . . 89, and 99.
To summarize: Selective energization of line YD",
essentially selects all addresess whose low-order digit is
a "0"; YDI essentially selects all addresses whose loworder digit is a "1"; YD2 essentially selects all addresses
whose low-order digit is a "3"; and so on from YD3
through YD9, where YD9 essentially selects all addresses
whose low-order digit is a "9." Forgetting about "primenotations" for the present, selective energization of line
YGtp essentially selects all ~ddresses whose high-order
digit is a "0"; YGl essentially selects all addresses whose
high-order digit is a "1 "; YG2 essentially selects all addresses whose high-order digit is a "2"; and so on from
YG3 to YG9, where selective energization of line YG9
essentially selects all addresses whose high-order digit is a
"9." Thus, suppose that it is desired to select a particular
address; say address 9",. To accomplish this, YD<1> is energized corresponding to the low-order digit "0" of the address, and, simultaneously therewith, YG9 is energized
corresponding to the high-order digit "9" of the address.
Thus, when YDtp and YG9 are simultaneously energized,
a binary "I" representative half-select current flows upwardly from line YG9 through all of the cores in address

3,112,394

70

69
9 and out at line YD. To select address 99, YD9 and
YG9 are energized simultaneously.
As far as "prime notations" are concerned, it is to be
pointed out at this time that throughout the electrical
circuitry of the computer signal lines bearing a "prime"
notation-Le., (XG)' et al.-essentially
have diametrically opposite states or energization conditions to their respective "primeless" counterparts; i.e.,
XG, YG, et al. For example, lines (YG through 99 to "half-select" a particular address to a
binary "0" representation, whereas lines YG through
YG9 are effective to send a half-select impulse upwardly
through anyone of the same respective addresses to
"half-select" that particular address to a binary "1" representation. It is also to be appreciated at this point that,
when the state of a signal line bearing a "prime" notation
is de-energized or is FALSE, the "primeless" signal line
cOllnterpart is respectively "energized" or is TRUE, and
vice versa. In other wonds, when one is energized, the
other is de-energized; when one is TRUE, the other is
FALSE, etc.
In the "X" direction of the memory, line XDa selects
those ten rows corresponding to bit "a" of each order
decimal digit of the word; line XDb selects those ten rows
corresponding to bit "b"; line XDc selects the ten rows
corresponding to bit HC"; and, finally, line XDd selects
the ·final ten rows corresponding to bit "d" of each order
decimal digit of the word. Lines (XG through XG9 are
effective to send a half-select impUlse from right to left
through anyone of the same respective rows to "halfselect" that particular row to a binary "1" representation.
Thus, combining "X" and "Y" selection of the memory,
in order to store a binary "1" representation in a core, say
core 885 as Ian example, which is located at the junction of
row # 1 and address , lines YD, YG, XDa, and
XG are all simuitaneously energized. To store a binary
"0" representation therein, lines YDc/>, (YG¢)', XDa, and
(XG)' are all effectively energized simultaneously. To
store binary information in core 886·, line XDb is energized instead of line XDa. The manner of "X" and "Y"
selection of addresses "A" and "B" is exactly the same as
the manner of selection of memory addresses c/> through
99. Consequently, further detailed description thereof is
not deemed necessary.
Before proceeding further with the description of the
logical control circuitry of the compu teT, it is to be
pointed out that an attempt has been made to simplify
and thus alleviate the inherent complexity of the schematic representation in order to facilitate a full and complete understanding of the circuitry, both as to its organization and as to its mode of operation. For example,
throughout the drawings, all input lines are appropriately labeled and are positioned to the leftmost side of the
various building blocks previously described, and the various output lines thereof also are appropriately labeled
and are positioned to the rightmost side of the building
blocks. However, for illustrative purposes only, but a
selected few of the input and output lines are actually
shown connected. It is, of course, to be understod that,
in order to obtain a full and complete electrical circuit
diagram of the computer, it first is necessary to substitute
the appropriate type of building block circuitry (taken
from FIGS. 46 through 51) for each of the correspondingly-labeled building blocks which are logically illustrated throughout tbe drawings. Afterwards, all likelabeled lines (whether input lines, output lines, or otherwise) are to be connected together, thus forming a complete circuit diagram from the schematic representation
thereof.

With reference to the lower right-hand section of FIG.
60, there are schematically illustrated four "X-drivers,"
which are utilized to selectively energize input lines XDa
through XDd, previously described in connection with
the core memory shown in FIG. 52. Each of the Xdrivers comprises a two-input logical AND of type "RI,"
an inverter amplifier of type "Il2," and an emitter follower amplifier of type "E3," each connected in cascade
with respect to the others. More specifically, the Xdriver for bit "a" includes logical AND 111}8, inverter
4237, and emitter follower 4251t; the X-driver for bit
"b" comprises logical AND 111}9, inverter 423·S, and
emitter follower 4251; the X-driver for bit "c" comprises
logical AND 1110, inverter 4239, and emitter follower
4252; and, finally, the X-driver for bit "d" comprises
logical AND 1111, inverter 4250, and emitter follower
4253.
During a read-write cycle of operation for reading a
word from an address in memory, line SMC goes TRUE
for 1600 microseconds to allow line XDW to effectively
"condition" the selected X-driver to effectively be turned
"ON" at, and for, the proper amount of time. At 40
microseconds intervals, lines BaM through BdM sequentially go TRUE for a period of 40 microseconds each, and
then respectively go FALSE. Consequently, at the beginning of the read-write cycle, output line XDa is energized, and a potential of approximately -12 volts appears thereon. Line XDa stays energized for a maximum period of 40 microseconds and then is de-energized.
Forty microseconds after line XDa was first energized,
output line XDb is energized for a maximum period of
40 microseconds, and then is de-energized. Forty microseconds after line XDb was first energized, line XDc is
energized for a maximum period of 40 microseconds.
Finally, 40 microseconds after line XDc was first energized, line XDd is energized for a maximum period of
40 microseconds, lines XDa through XDd of FIG. 60,
of course, being identical to lines XDa through XDd of
FIG. 52, as previously stated. Thus it is evident, as a
maximum total time of 160 microseconds is required to
read each digit out of memory, that a maximum of 1600
microseconds is required to read a ten-digit number out
of a particular address in memory.
18. Bit-Collnter

75

The bit-counter, logically shown in the upper portion
of FIG. 62, includes two type "F2" flipfiops 6lt41 and
61142, connected as a scale-of-four binary counter, and
is utilized to select the binary bit of the word to be read
out of an address in memory during a read-write cycle,
as illustrated in the block diagram of FIG. 45. When
the computer is first turned "ON," or when pushbutton
RSI (FIG. 76) is actuated, fiipflops 6041 and 6042 are
unconditionally ~et TRUE by reset line (RS)' going
FALSE. That is, the states of fiipfiops 6041 and 6042
are sllch that reference output lines BCa and BCb, respectively therefrom, arc TRUE, and prime output lines
(BCa)' and (BCb)' are both FALSE.
The bit-counter usually counts in a forward direction,
as will be shown later. However, there are times when
the bit-counter is required to effectively count in a reverse direction. When counting in a reverse direction,
the read-write word cycle begins by reading out the
high-order bit of the high-order digit; i.e., bit "d" of
digit #9. The signal which provides for this reverse
operation of the bit-counter comes from line DBD.
When line DBD is TRUE (line (DBD)' thus being
FALSE), the bit-counter counts in a reverse direction.
Conversely, when line DBD is FALSE (line (DBD)'
thus being TRUE), the bit-counter counts in a forward
direction.
If it be desired that the bit-counter is to count in a
forward direction, lines (DBD)', BCa, and BCb must

3,112,394

71
first be TRUE. Therefore, as all three inputs to logical
AND 1158 are simultaneously TRUE, lines Bd and BdM
are also TRUE, the remainder of output lines Ba through
Be and BaM through BdM being FALSE. When input
line Cye goes from TRUE to FALSE, the prime inputs
to both of fiipflops 6041 and 6042 go from TRUE to
FALSE. Consequently, both flipflops 6041 and 6042
change state, so that lines BCa and BCb go FALSE and
lines (BCa)' and (BCb)' go TRUE. As lines (DBD)',
(BCa)', and (BCb)' are now TRUE, all of the inputs
to logical AND 1152 are simultaneously TRUE, and thus
output line Ba is TRUE, with the remaining outputs Bb
through Bd being FALSE. When line CYYC goes from
FALSE back to TRUE, the state of both fiipflops remains
unchanged. However, when line CYC again goes from
TRUE to FALSE, the reference input to flipflop 6041
goes from TRUE to FALSE. At this time, lines BCa
and (BCb), are TRUE, and lines (BCa)' and BCb are
both FALSE. Thus, as inputs (DBD)', BCa, and
(BCb), of logical AND 1154 are simultaneously TRUE,
output line Bb is TRUE, and remaining outputs Ba, Be,
and Bd are FALSE. When line CYC goes from TRUE
to FALSE a third time, all input lines to logical AND
1156 are simultaneously TRUE, and output line Be is
likewise TRUE, with lines Ba, Bb, and Bd being FALSE.
Finally, when CYC goes from TRUE to FALSE a fourth
time, line Bd is TRUE, with lines Ba through Be being
false.
To summarize, only readout line Bd is initially set
TRUE when the computer is first turned "ON" or when
pushbutton RSI (FIG. 76) is actuated; the remaining
readouts, Ba through Be, are FALSE. At this time, for
each successive occurrence of a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of line CYC, the bit-counter is incremented by a
count of one binary bit. Thus, with four such reversals
of line CYC, the bit-counter counts Ba, Bb, Be, and back
to Bd. When the bit-counter is to count backwards, line
DBD is rendered TRUE instead of line (DBD) '. Consequently, at this time, line Ba instead of line Bd is
TRUE; remaining lines Bb through Bd are FALSE.
Thereafter, for each 'successive occurrence of a TRUE-toFALSE reversal of line CYC, the counter is decremented
by a count of one bit. Thus, with four such reversals of
line CYC, the bit-counter counts Bd, Be, Bb, and back to
Ba. It is to be appreciated, of course, that lines BaM
through BdM are at all times of the same state as lines
Ba through Bd, respectively. It is also to be appreciated,
as before stated, that lines BaM through BdM of FIG. 62
are respectively identical to lines BaM through BdM of
FIG. 60 and anywhere else they may appear in the computer circuitry.
,19. X and Y Grounders
In the left portion of FIG. 66, there are diagrammatically shown two sets of ten X-grounders, one set of ten
represented by output lines XG¢ through XG9, and the
other represented by output lines (XG¢), through
(XG9)'. Each of the twenty X-grounders comprises a
serially-connected network of a two-input logical AND
of type "Rl," an inverter amplifier of type "Il2," and an
inverter amplifier of type "12." The emitter electrodes
of inverters 3268 through 3287 are connected together
and returned via line CRX to output terminal 843 of
temperatme-compensated current regulator 7001, which
has previously been shown and described in detail in connection with section (g) of FIG. 51.
The mode of operation of each of the X-grounders
is somewhat straightforward. When both inputs to any
one of logical AND's 1281 through 1300 are simultaneously TRUE, that particular AND circuit effectively
causes a constant-current operating potential of approximately -10 volts to be applied to its respective output
lead; i.e., one of leads XG¢ through XG9 or (XG through D9 are also utilized by the computer 10 TRUE state of line Wrp1, lines W<;/>cp and W¢2 through
W¢I), of course, being FALSE. However, both the

selecting register must first be set to zero via line (PW<;/»'
forward-reverse logic, there is an additional readout line
D9L, which is TRUE each time lines Da and Dd are
in order for line STI to be effective to preset the wordsimultaneously TRUE, regardless of whether the digit 15 selecting register to "01." The reason for this ,is that,
counter is operating in a forward or a reverse direction.
as shown, line ST1 is effective only in presetting the state
of flipflop 6051 and does not affect the states of the re21. Y-Drivers

In the rightmost section of PIG. 65 there are shown
With reference to FIG. 64, the four fiipflops which are

nected network comprising a two-input type "Rl" logical

AND, a type "112" inverter, and a tyJXl "E3" emitter folbit "a," the state of flipflop 6048 represents the secondlower amplifier. As previously described, by sdective energization of line YD<;/>, all addresses whose low-order digit 25 order bit "b," the state of flipflop 6049 represents the thirdorder bit "e," and the state of flipflop 6050 represents the

The word-selecting register is a two-digit register which
lines WIcj> through W19. For example, when the highis utilized to temporarily store a t\vo-decim81-digit numorder digit in the word-selecting register is a "0," only
ber representing the address location of the word in memline Wlcp is TRUE. Line Wll is TRUE only when the
ory from which reading is to take place. That is, the
word located in memory at the address corresponding to 45 high-order digit is a "1," and so on, so that line WI9 [s
TRUE only when the high-order digit is a "9." Then ten

and a type "115" inverter. Thus, when the low-order sechigh-order digit of addresses rp<;/> through 99. At the same
tion of the word-selecting re~ster is storing a count of

"zero," output lines Wrpa through Wrpd are FALSE, and
of the low-order digit of the address. As an illustrative
lines (Wrpa)' through (W¢d)' are TRUE. As all of the 70 example, address 96 is represented by lines W19 and Wcp6
input lines to logical AND 1261 are simultaneously TRUE,
simultaneously bcing TRUE; address 48 is represented by
output line W<;/><;/> is TRUE, indicative of the "zero" storage
lines W14 and W¢8 simultaneously being TRUE, and
in flipflops 6051 through 6054. In a like manner, cjt is
so on. Thus, a half-select current is allowed to flow in
seen that only one of output lines W <;/><;/> through W <;/>9 of
the "Y" direction only in the vertical string of cores lothe decoder is TRUE at any given instant, and a TRUE 75 cated in the address corresponding to the number stored

3,112,394

in the word-selecting register. The number in the wordselecting register remains therein during the entire time the
ten-digit word is being read out of memory. Other suitable means have been provided for selecting addresses
"A" and "B," as will later be seen.
The bit and digit counter combination determines which
row of cores is to receive a half-select current impulse
during a read-write cycle. That is, the output of the bit
counter determines which bit is to be read out-i.e., bit
"a," "b," "c," or "d," and the digit counter determines
which order digit is to be read out. For example, if the
bit counter is at "a" and the digit counter at "1," a halfselect current impulse is permitted to flow only through
the row of cores corresponding to the low-order bit of
the second-order digit. If the bit counter is at "d" and
,the digit counter at "9," a half-select current impul$e is
permitted to flow only through the row of cores corrcsponding to the high-order bit of the tenth-order digit,
and so on.
24. Synchronizing Clocks
Before going into a detailed description of a complete
read-write cycle of a word stored in a particular address
in memory, it is deemed desirable, at this point, to briefly
describe the various "clocks" which are utilized by the
oomputer for synchronization purposes, to insure the
proper sequence of data handling and transfer.
With reference to FIG. 84, a 50-kilocycle multi-vibrator 6125, substantially identical to the one heretofore
shown and described in connection with section (a) of
FIG. 50, has the reference output thereof connected
through AND gates 1778 and 1779 to both the reference
and the prime inputs of flip-flop 6127. As multivibrator
'6125 is essentially a 50 kc. square-wave generator, the
signal voltage appearing on the reference output lead MY
thereof is as shown by the topmost waveform in FIG.
87B. If at "TIME-I" the state of line MY is reversed
from TRUE to FALSE, the state of line MY reverses
from FALSE back to TRUE ten microseconds later at
'TIME-2." Ten microseconds later, at "TIME-3," the
state of line MY again reverses from TRUE to FALSE,
and so on. As heretofore mentioned, the state of line
(MY)' is effectively 180 degrees out of phase with the
state of line MY.
If it is assumed th8t directly preceding TIME-l the
states of lines MY and C31 are both TRUE, as shown, at
TIME-l the reference input to flip flop 6127 is reversed
from TRUE to FALSE. Consequently, flip flop 6127 is
triggered so that the state of line C31 is rendered FALSE
and the state of line C13 is rendered TRUE. At TIME-3,
when the state of line MY again is reversed from TRUE
to FALSE, the state of line C31 is rendered TRUE and
the state of line C13 is rendered FALSE. This sequence
of events is continually repeated during operation of the
computer.
At TIME-2, the state of line (MY)' is reversed from
TRUE to FALSE, and, consequently, flip flop 6128 is
triggered so that the state of line C42 is thereby rendered
FALSE and the state of line C24 is thereby rendered
TRUE. At TIME-4, when the state of line (MY)' again
reverses from TRUE to FALSE, the states of lines C42
and C24 are reversed. At TIME-t, when the state of line
C31 reverses from TRUE to FALSE, flip flop 6129 is triggered so that the state of line C41 is thereby rendered
FALSE, and, simultaneously therewith, the state of line
C41 is rendered TRUE. Thirty microseconds later, the
state of line C24 reverses from TRUE to FALSE. Therefore, at TIME-4, flip flop 6129 is reset to its initial state
so that immediately thereafter the state of line C41 i~
rendered TRUE and the state of line C14 is simultaneously rendered FALSE.
As shown, output lines C31, C13, C42, and C24 are
variously connected as inputs to flip flops 6129 through
6.132 to provide suitably phased clock pulses on output
hnes C41, C14, C43, C34, C23, and Cl2. It is to be

noted that the highest-order numeral designation thereof
denotes the time at which the state of that particular line
is rendered TRUE and the lowest-order numeral designation denotes the time at which the state of that particular
line is rendered FALSE. For example, the state of line
C41 is rendered TRUE at each TIME-4 and FALSE at
each TIME-t, the state of line C23 is rendered TRUE at
each TIME-2 and FALSE at each TIME-3, and so on.
The 400-cycle multivibrator 6126 has a period of approximately 1.24 milliseconds. Consequently, due to the
synchronizing action with respect to the state of line C41,
as heretofore described in connection with section (b)
of FIG. 50, the state of line ICC is rendered TRUE and
the state of line (ICC)' is rendered FALSE at TIME-I'
approximately 1.24 milliseconds ·thereafter at TIME-I'
the state of line ICC is rendered FALSE a~d the state of
line (ICC)' is rendered TRUE. Again, approximately
1.24 milliseconds thereafter, at TIME-I, the state of line
!CC a.gain is rendered TRUE and the state of line (ICC)'
IS agam rendered FALSE. As this sequence of events is
~on(~nually repeated during operation of the computer, it
IS eVident that the output from the 400-cycle multivibrator
6126 is effectively synchronized with the output from the
50 kc. multivibrator 6125.

~ith reference to FIG. 60, during a complete readwnte cycle of a WOJ;d stored in a particular address in
memory, line SMC is TRUE for a ,period of 1600 microse~onds, and line MYW is TRUE for a period of 1650
microseconds. Therefore, as all the inputs to logical
AND 1096 are simultaneously TRUE at TIME-3 line
YDW also goes TRUE at TIME-3 and stays TRUE for
a period of 20 microseconds until TIME-I' at TlME-t
line YDW goes FALSE and stays FALSE for 20 micro~
seconds until TIME-3; at TIME-3 line YDW again goes
TRUE, and so on. Thus, it is seen, at TIMES 1 and 3
]~ne YDW goes FALSE and TRUE, respectively, for pe:
nods of 20 microseconds each. This is done to permit
one of Y-driver output lines YD¢ through YD9 (FIG.
65) to be selectively energized for a period of 20 microseconds by selected ones of output lines W¢¢ through
W¢9 of the decoding portion of the low-order section of
the word-selecting register,as will more fully be described hereinafter.
As previously described in connection with FlG. 66,
selected pairs of Y-grounder output lines YGt/>--(YG¢)',
YGl-(YGl)' . . . YG9-(YG9)' are conditioned at
~redetermined times by a corresponding one of output
hnes WI through W19 of the decoding portion of the
high-order section of the word-selecting register (FIG.
64), a selected one of each pair being selectively energized by one of lines WR and (WRY. As shown in
FIG. 66, lines WR and (WR)' alternately effect energization of only one of the Y-grounder output lines.
That is, only one of the Y-grounder output lines is energized at any given time; when that particular Y-grounde.r o~tput lin~ is de-energized, another Y-grounder output
lme IS energIzed, and so on. This is clearly illustrated
in the timing chart of FIG. 87A, which is to be referred
to, from time to time, during the following detailed description of a complete read-write cycle.
It will be assumed that it is deskous to read a word
out of memory address , that the reading operation
is to begin with the lowermost core in address ¢¢, and
that all data read out is to be re-stored in address .
Thus, to begin the reading operation, lines (WR)' and
WI.. (FIG. 66) simultaneously go TRUE, thereby energlzmg Y-grounder output line (YG¢)' at TIME-I, as
shown in the just-mentioned timing chart of FlG. 87B.
Simultaneously therewith, lines XDW and BaM (FIG.
60) go TRUE,thereby energizing X-driver output line
XDa at TIME-I. Also simultaneously therewith, lines
DM and (WR)' (FIG. 66) are TRUE to energize Xgrounder output line (XG)' also at TIME-I. Conse-

quently, as both the X-driver, XDa, and the X-grounder
(XG1»' (FIG. 52A) are simultaneously energized at
TIME-t, a current impulse of half-select magnitude (approximately 180 ma.) flows from left ,to right through
the bottom row of cores to "half-select" each of the cores
in the row toward a binary "zero" representation, as previously described, the binary value of the low-order bit
of the first-order digit of the word stored in memory address 1>1> being represented by the initial state or direction of magnetization of core 885, as before stated.
Twenty microseconds later, at TIME-3, line YDW
(FIG. 60) goes TRUE to effect energization of Y-driver
output line YD1> (FIG. 65). Thus, as the Y -driver output line YD and Y-grounder output line (YG1> toward a binary "zero" representation. As the magnetommotive forces produced by
the two half-select currents are additive in the region of
core 885 only. immediately following TIME-3 core 885
is the only oore in the entire memory that is magnetically
set to a binary "zero" representation at this time. If it
is assumed that core 885 previously was in a magnetic
remanent state representative of a binary "one," the
state of magnetization of the core is reversed immediately
following TIME-3. Consequently, with respect to terminal 872, a negative-going output pulse is induced in
memory sense winding 871 (FIG. 52) having a peak amplitude occurring approximately 3 microseconds after
TIME-3.
The negative-going output pulse induced in memory
sense winding 871 renders memory sense amplifier 4399
(FIG. 67 A) conductive during presence thereof, so that
the uppermost input to logical AND 1163 goes TRUE
during presence of the pulse from memory, as shown in
FIG. 87. Assuming that the signal on the lowermost input to AND 1163 from flipflop 6149 is also TRUE, both
of the common-load transistors making up AND 1163
(FIG. 48j) are rendered non-conductive, 'so that the signal applied to the reference input of flipflop 6055 goes
FALSE approximately 3 microseconds after TIME-3
and flipflop 6055 is triggered thereby, so that output line
MSA goes TRUE, indicating that a binary "one" had
previously been stored in core 885 (FIG. 52); output
line (MSA)', when TRUE, indicates that the core was
'previously storing a binary "zero."
At TIME-4, line (WR)' goes FALSE (FIG. 66) and
,une WR goes TRUE. Therefore, X and Y-grounder
lines (XG
and YG are energized. As core 885 (FIG. 52A) was
previously storing a binary "one," X and Y-driver output
lines XDa and YD remain energized, and, consequently,
a full-select current impulse flows through the core in
the opposite direction to "re-set" the core back to its initial binary "one" state immediately following TIME-4.
However, if the core had been initially storing a binary
"zero," instead of a binary "one," a voltage impulse
would not have been induced in the memory sense winding, and, consequently, output line MSA (FIG. 67 A) remains FALSE instead of going TRUE, thus indicative of
the binary "zero" storage in core 885. In that instance
when line MSA remains FALSE, line MXW (FIG. 60)
likewise remains FALSE, and, consequently, not all of the
inputs to logical AND 1098 are TRUE, as before. As a
result, line XDW goes FALSE and causes X-driver output line XDa to be de-energized. This is illustrated in
FIG. 87 by the dotted portion of the output signal representation of X-driver line XDa between TIME-4 and
TIME-1 for bit "a." X-driver line XDa now being deenergized at TIME-4, a binary "one" representing halfselect current flows through oore 885 in the "Y" direction only, and, consequently, the core is not "reset" to a

binary "one" state, but, instead, remains in its initial binary "zero" state.
It is to be noted that, during a read-write cycle, halfselect current is first applied in the "X" direction for
a period of 20 microseconds-Le., from TIME-1 to
TIME-3-before a coincidental half-select current is
applied in the "Y" direction through the core being "read."
One reason for operating the computer memory in this
manner is due to the physical placement of memory
sense winding 871 (FIG. 52). Due to the fact that the
sense winding is oriented parallel with respect to the
conductors threaded through the core in the "X" direction,
when a half-select current is first applied in the "X"
direction, a voltage impulse is induced in the sense winding even though the magnetic state of each core remains
unchanged. In fact, the amplitude of this voltage may
be from ten to fifteen times greater than the amplitUde
of the voltage induced in the sense winding due to a
"change-oi-state" of one of the cores. Consequently,
it is desirable to allow sufficient time ,to lapse after
application of a half-select current in the "X" direction
so that this unwanted voltage impulse is dissipated and
thus aUeviate any undesirable effects therefrom.
Another reason for this 20-microsecond delay is that
a half-select current through a core causes a noise impulse
to be induced in the sense winding especially if the previous half-select current through the core was in the
opposite direction. The amplitUde of this noise impulse
is, in most instances, approximately 7 millivolts per core
and requires from ten to fifteen microseconds to be
dissipated. As there are 100 cores in the "X" direction
per row, and, as the noise from all of the cores in each
row is additive, the total maximum ampU,tude of the
noise impulse is approximately 700 millivolts.
In an attempt to simplify the description and to insure
a complete understanding of the inherent complexity
of the mode of operation of the computer memory, it
has been assumed to this point that all of the cores making up memory addresses 1> through 99 and addresses
"A" and "B" are magnetized in the same direction to represent either a binary "one" or a binary "zero." However, in the actual operation of the computer memory,
this is not the case, the reasons for which are as follows:
As previously described with respect to FIG. 52,
memory sense winding 871 is sequentially threaded in
the same direction through every other one of the forty
rows of cores making up the entire memory. Thus, if
every core in the memory were magnetically set in the
same direction to represent, say, a binary "one," opposite
polarity output pulses are induced in the memory sense
winding during a read-write cycle, all of which pulses
individually represent a binary "one" storage in the respective core. For example, the cores making up the oddnumbered rows are responsible for output pulses of one
polarity indicative of a binary "one" storage, whereas
the cores making up the even-numbered rows are responsible for output pulses of an opposite polarity also
indicative of a binary "one" storage.
Also, as previously mentioned, it has been found that
a subsequently-applied half-select current impulse through
a core causes a noise impulse to be induced in the sense
winding if the previously-applied half-select current impulse through the core was in the opposite direction to the
subsequently-applied half-select current impulse; however, the subsequently-applied half-select current impU'lse
through the core causes a much smaller amplitude noise
impulse to be induced in the sense winding if the subsequently-applied half-select current impulse is in the
same direction as the previously-applied half-select current impulse.
Therefore, to alleviate the need for sensing amplifiers
which must be responsive to input impulses of opposite
polal'ity, and also, during reading of a particular core,
in order to subsequently apply a half-select current impulse therethrough in the "Y" direction, which is in the

same direction as the half-select current impulse previously applied in the "Y" direction therethrough during writing of a previously-read core, it has been found desirable
during the operation of the memory of the present computer for all of the cores making up the odd-numbered
rows to be magnetically set in one direction to represent
storage of a binary "one" and for all of the cores making
up the even-numbered rows to be magnetically set in
the opposite direction to represent storage of a binary
"one." Consequently, during a read-write cycle of operation, binary "one" signifying impulses of the same
polarity are induced in the memory sense winding, and
thus the sense amplifiers need only be responsive to
single polarity impulses; and, also, much smaller amplitude noise impulses are induced in the sense winding
during the reading operation.
With the foregoing in mind, the next portion of the
read-write cycle will be described and directed to bit
"b" of the low-order digit of the word stored in address
.p.p.
Now that core 885 (FIG. 52A) has been read and
then "reset" to represent its initial binary "one" storage,
line CYC (FIG. 61) goes from TRUE to FALSE at
the following TIME-l, measured with respect to bit "b."
As previously described in detail with respect to the bit
counter shown in FIG. 62, when line CYC goes FALSE
for the second time, line BaM goes FALSE, line BbM
goes TRUE, and lines BcM and BdM remain FALSE.
As line XOW (FIG. 60) also goes TRUE at TIME-l,
X-driver outputJine XOa is de-energized and output line
XOb is energized at TIME-l, as shown in FIG. 86. As
line YOW (FIG. 60) goes FALSE at each TIME-l, Ydriver output line YO.p (FIGS. 65 and 52A) is deenergized, and consequently, the half-select current in
the "Y" direction through the cores of address .p.p is
thereby not permitted to flow. However, as X-grounder
line XG", (FIG. 52B) remains energized during TIME-l,
and as X-driver Hne XOb is energized for the first ,time at
TIME-l, a haIf-select current flows from right to left
through core 886 to "half-select" the magnetic state of
core 886 indicative of a binary "zero." It is to be noted
that the half-select current in the "X" direction through
core 885 flowed from left to right, instead of right to
left, to magnetically "half-set" core 885 toward a binary
"zero" representation. Thus, it is seen, the half-select
read current flows in one direction through the cores in
the even-numbered rows and in the opposite direction
through the cores in the odd-numbered rows.
At TIME-2, flipflop 60'55 (FIG. 67A) is reset by line
C42 so that output line MSA is thereafter FALSE. At
TIME-3, line YOW (FIG. 60) goes TRUE to again effect
energization of line YO", (FIG. 65). Thus, as Y-driver
output line YO", and Y-grounder line YG.p (FIG. 52)
are both simultaneously energi7'cd at TIME-3, a current
impulse of half-select magnitude flows upwardly through
core 886 to cause "full-selection" of the magnetic state
of core 886 to a binary "zero" representation, If it is
assumed that the magnetic state of core 886 is indicative
of a binary "one," the state of magnetization of the core
is reversed immediately following TIME-3, and, consequently, a negative-going impulse is again induced in
memory sense winding 871 (FIG. 52) with respect to
terminal 873, approximately three microseconds after
TIME-3, as bef'Ore.
As before, the negative-going impulse induced in memory sense winding 871 causes the reference input to flipflop 6055 to go FALSE shortly after TIME-3, and, consequently, flipfi'Op 6055 is triggered so that line MSA is
TRUE, indicating that a binary "one" had previously
been stored in c'Ore 886. At TIME-4, line (WR)' goes
FALSE (FIG. 66) and line WR goes TRUE. Consequently, X and Y-grounder lines XG", and TG.p are both
de-energized, and, simultaneously therewith, lines (XG.p)'
and (YG",)' are energized. As core 886 was previously
storing a binary "one," X and Y-driver output lines XDb

and YO", remain energized f'Or ten microseconds longer
to effect "resetting" of core 886 back to its initial binary
"one" state immediately following TIME-4.
The previously-described sequence of events is now
repeated with respect to cores 887 and 888 and also with
respect to the remaining ones of the forty cores making
up address ",,,,. In the illustrative example given, as evidenced by the presence and absence of memory sense amplifier pulses (FIG. 87A), the binary number stored in
cores 885 through 888, corresponding to low-order bit
"a" through the high-order bit "d," is "0111," thus indicating that the low-order digit of the word stored in address "' is a "seven."
To summarize: Alternate cores of each memory address are magnetically set in one direction t'O represent a
binary "one," whereas the remaining cores in the address
are magnetically set in the 'Opposite direction to represent
a binllfY "one." When the core representing bit a of the
low-order digit is read (i.e., core 885), a half-select
"read" current in the "X" direction flows to the right
through core 885 at the first TIME-l. At TIME-3, a
half-select read current in the "Y" direction flows downwardly through core 885 at the first TIME-3 to magnetically set core 885 toward binary "zero." If the core
was originally storing a binary "one," its magnetic state
is therefore reversed, and a negative-going voltage pulse
is induced in memory sense winding 871, which causes
the half-select currents in the "X" and "Y" directions
through core 885 to be reversed to magnetically reset
core 885 to binary "one" at TIME-4. At the second
TIME-I, a half-select current fI'Ows to the left in the "X"
direction through core 886. At the second TIME-3, a
half-select current flows upwardly through core 886 to
magnetically set core 886 to binary "zero." If core 886
was originally storing a binary "one," a second negativegoing potential impulse is induoed in the mem'Ory sense
winding to cause the half-select currents in the "X" and
"Y" directions through core 886 to be reversed to reset
core 886 to binary "one" at the second TIME-4. As
before stated, this sequence of events is sequentially repeated from the lowermost to the uppermost 'Of the c'Ores
making up address .p.p.
26. Sense-Amplifier Strobe
With reference to FIG. 67A, inverter 4393 is effectively connected in series with memory sense winding
871, and inverter 4395 is effectively connected in parallel
with respect to the memory sense winding. As shown,
inverter 4395 is rendered non-conductive from TIME-3
to TIME-4 by line C34, and inverter 4393 is rendered
conductive from TIME-3 to TIME-4 by line C43. Thus,
as inverter 4395 is non-conductive during the time each
'Of the memory cores is being read, the inverter exerts
essentially no effect on sense winding 871; however, as
inverter 4393 is conductive during the time each core is
being read, the lower end of sense winding 871-i.e.,
terminal 872-is effectively grounded thereby during that
time to complete the circuit therethrough. From TIME-4
to TIME-3, sense winding 871 is effectively 'Open-circuited by inverter 4393 and effectively short"Circuited by
inverter 4395, thus rendering sense winding 871 noneffective at all times except for the time interval during
which reading of a memory core is to take place.
As previously described with respect to FIG. 87 A, if
a binary "one" was previously stored in the core being
read, the output of a memory sense amplifier is TRUE
after a time lapse of approximately three microseconds
after TIME-3. Thus, to prevent undesirable noise impulses from entering the system, the output of sense
amplifier 4399 is sampled, or "strobed," for a period of
approximately three microseconds, starting approximately
three microseconds after each TIME-3. Strobing is effected by a three-microsecond one-shot flipflop 6147,
which is triggered at TIME-3 by line C31, so that the
prime output thereof goes FALSE at TIME-3 and re-

3,112,394

81
mains FALSE for a period of three microseconds, after
which time the prime output thereof returns to a TRUE
condition. The prime output of flipflop 6147 is connected to the reference input of a three-microsecond oneshot flipflop 6149, so that, after a time lapse of three
microseconds after TIME-3-i.e., when the prime output
of flipflop 6147 goes TRUE-the reference output of flipflop 6149 goes TRUE and stays TRUE for a period of
three microseconds, after which time the reference output
thereof goes FALSE. Therefore, the lowermost input
line to logical AND 1163 goes TRUE only after a time
lapse of three microseconds after TIME-3, and stays
TRUE for a period of only three microseconds.
As previously described, memory addresses "A" and
"B" (FIG. 52B) have a common sense winding 891 separate from the main memory sense winding 871. l'vlemory addresses "A" and "B" have a common pair of
V-grounder lines (ABG)' and ABG and separate Ydriver lines AAD and BBD (FIG. 60), which function in the same manner as the just-described Ygrounder and V-driver lines for memory addresses
¢¢ through 99. Thus, it is possible to read and write
in only one ,of memory addresses "A" or "B" at
any given time, the same as for memory addresses ¢¢
through 99. However, as addresses "A" and "B" have
a separate sense winding from addresses ¢¢ through 99,
a word from either of addresses ¢¢ through 99 may be
read out simultaneously with the word being read out
of address "A" or "B." Because of the common X-driver
and X-grounder lines, it is not possible to write separate
words in both a memory address and either of addresses
"A" or "B." However, the same word may be writlen
in both addresses. As shown in FIG. 67 A, the output
of "A" and "B" sense amplifier 4400 is strobed by singleshot flipflops 6148 and 6150 in exactly the same manner
as memory sense amplifier 4399, as was just described
in detail. 'The ~trobed signals from sense amplifier 4430
operates a transistor logical AND HM, which triggers
flipflop 6056 in response to a negative-going impulse from
"A" and "B" sense winding 891. As the complete readwrite cycle of operation of addresses "A" and "B" is, for
all practical purposes, exactly the same as the just-described read-write cycle for memory addresses ¢¢
through 99, a description thereof would only result in an
undue repetition, which is not deemed necessary for a
full understanding of the mode of operation thereof in
view of the just-described read-write cycle for memory
addresses ¢¢ through 99.
27. Format of Instruction Words Generally
In order to perform the functions of a "general purpose" type computer, the present computer is provided
with 'eighteen different types of general purpose "instructions" which it, in a sense, "obeys" ~n order to allow the
programmer to solve almost any type of mathematical
problem. For reasons to become more apparent hereinafter, the just-described magnetic core memory stores
both "instruction" words and data words, which appear
as one and the same as far as the computer memory is
concerned-i.e., a ten-digit binary-coded decimal number-and, to alleviate the necessity of providing "plus" or
"minus" indications to identify positive and negative
numbers, a negative number is stored in the computer
memory as its complement. For example, the minimum
negative number that is effectively stored is OOOODOOOOl,
whose complement is 9999999999; the maximum negative number that is effectively store is 1000000000, whose
complement is 9{)0{}OOO{}OO. Thus, the maximum positive
number stored is 8999999999. Both data and instruction words may essentially be stored in the computer
memory either by indexing the words in the accounting
machine keyboard portion of the computer, by totaling
or subtotaling selected totalizers of the accounting machine, by reading the words from the magnetic strip portion of the ledger cards, or by reading the words from

82
punched cards or paper tapes via conventional, commercially-available paper tape and card readers.
Programming the computer consists essentially of
writing two related programs, the first program of which
5 is written for the accounting machine portion of the computer, which programming consists of designing mec:hanical stops which are placed on the form-bar portion of the
accounting machine, in a manncr fuBy descl,ibed in the
before-referred-to Patent No. 2,626,749. In program10 ming the accounting machine, the programmer decidc3
at what carriage columnar position the program is to
start and the columnar position to which the carriage is
to be moved by subsequent machine cycles. The stops
on the form bar m, the sum of these
two amounts is to be stored in memory address 52, and
the next instruction word is stored in memory address 32.
As the code number for an ADD instruction is 08, the 15
instruction word appears as illustrated below:

After the addition operation is completed, the computer, in a sense, "looks" in memory address 32 for the
next instruction. Also, following the addition, the words
in memory addresses 42 and 5¢ remain the same as before, even though each was involved in the addition
operation. However, regardless of the word originally
stored in memory address 52 before the addition, memory
address 52 now contains the sum word derived from the
addition. The reason for this is that a memory address
is automatically cleared prior to storage of another word
in that particular address. ConsequentJy, only the sum
word is stored in the sum address.
A characteristic of nine of the eighteen instructions is
the ability to effectively increment section 3 or decrement section 4 of any instruction word. That is, if one
operation is called for which is to be sequentially performed on several words that are stored in memory locations having sequential addresses, it is not necessary to
utilize a separate instruction for each operation performed, or to build an address-incrementing loop.
An example of an instruction in which address incrementing is utilized is the "enter-key board-words" instruction, abbreviated as EKW, having a code number designation "00," and interpreted by the computer as: "The
words subsequently indexed in the accounting machine
keyboard are to be sequentially stored in memory address
locations X through Y, where X and Yare specified in
section 2 and section 4, respectively, of the instruction
word." Thus, if several sequential entries are to be
indexed in the accounting machine keyboard, it is, of
course, obviolls that these successive entries must be
stored in adjacent memory address locations. If it were
necessary to utilize a separate instruction word for storage of each of the keyboard entries in a designated
memory address, ten instruction wOl'ds would then be
necessary to store ten entries in memory. However, with
an address incrementi ng instruction, all ten entries are
sequentially stored by the use of only one instruction
word. This incrementing feature not only simplifies programming, but also reduces the required number of instruction words necessary for completion of a given program. When utilizing an instruction with an addrcssincrementing format, the programmer specifies, in section
3 of the instruction word, the memory address of the first
word on which an operation is required, and specifies, in
section 4 of the instruction word, the memory address of
the last word on which an operation is required. The
only restriction is that the address specified in section 4
of the instruction word must be eql1al to, or greater than,
the address specified in ~e('tion 3. Thcrenficf, the Cl'nlpuler sequentially generates each of the address locations

between those two 5pecified, even if the original instruction word is no longer stored in memory. However, after
the instruction has been executed, the original instruction
word may remain in memory unchanged, if desired.

28. Format of Enter-Keyboard-Words Instruction
Word (EKW-OO)
The EKW instruction is utilized when amounts are to
be entered, and thus stored, in the computer memory,
either by the words being indexed in the keyboard or by
a preselected totalizer within the accounting machine
being totalized. With only a single EKW instruction,
from one to one hundred different amounts may selectively be stored in sequentially-ascending memory addresses. Howc,vcr, in order to enter the amount indexed
in the accounting machine keyboard, a machine cycle,
of operation must first be initiated. The particular motor
bar of the machine to be depressed to initiate a cycle of
cperation thereof is specified in the instruction word by
the programmer. In this way, the programmer is assnred that the correct motor bar is automatically depressed for each amount entered. Hence, there is prevented the possibility of the accounting machine carriage
becoming out of synchronism with the program in the
computer due to the operator's depressing the wrong
motor bar. When the computer is "ready" to carry out
on EK'N instruction, the "enter-keyboard-words" lamp,
illustrated in FIG. 1 as EK, is illuminated. The operator
thereafter indexes the amount into the accounting machine keyboard and then depresses the "resume-programbar." Immediately thereafter, the computer automatically effects depression of thc particular motor bar specified in the instruction word. Consequently, a cycle of
operation of the accounting machine is thereby initiated,
and the amount just indexed in the keyboard thereof is
entered into the selected memory address.
In order for the programmer to prepare an instruction
word which instructs the computer to enter words into
memory, from either the accounting machine keyboard or
tbe totalizers therein, the two-digit decimal number for
each of tbe five sections of the instruction word must be
specified, the composite ten-digit decimal number thereafter representing the desired instruction word, as before
stated. l\S the code number designation for an EKW
command is "00," the two decimal digits in section 1 of
the instruction word are, likewise, "00." In section 2 of
the instruction word, the high-order decimal digit therein
designates the motor bar code, and the low-order decirnal digit therein designates the decimal point lamp code;
section 3 designates the memory address in which the first
word entered from the accounting machine is to be stored;
section 4 designates the memory address in which the last
word entered is to be stored; and section 5 designates the
memory address location of the next instruction word in
the program. Listed below, in chart form, are the various codes specified by section 2 of the instruction word
and to which the computer is responsive:

If thc first amount to be indexed is 0.025,00 and enterkcyboard-\vords bmp PI is illuminated, amount key #2
of row 4 and amount key #5 of row 3 are manually depressed first. Thereafter, the resume-program-bar is manually depressed, and, consequently, the computer automatically effects depression of the middle motor bar 27
for a "touch" operation. The amount thereafter printed
,,-ppears as 0,025.00. If the printing of cents ".00" is not
desired, a particularly designed stop is placed on the form
bar to suppress printing thereof.
When a negative amount is to be entered into the computer memory, rever"e key "REV" is initially depressed.
This not only causes the amount to be printed with a
"diamond" symbol printed to the right thereof, but, in
addition. causes the complement of the number to be
stored in memory as a "credit balance." Negative
amounts previollsly stored in the totalizers of the accounting machine arc automatically stored in the computer
memory as complements thereof.
There are three ways to total or sub-total the amount
in the computer memory by means of the EKW instruction. If the carriage of the machine is stationary and the
non-select key "NON SELECT" is depressed, both the
desired totalizer and the particular type of 2" or ".;:6" causes the card to be positioned for posting in the middle area; and an "x3" or "x7" causes the
card to be positioned for posting in the lowermost area.
This permits the words on the card to be grouped for
simplicity of progrumming and mathematical op;:rations.

As lln examrlc, lln instruction word capabJe of initillting the copyin~ of a word from memory address 5", into
memory :.ddrt:ss 79, with the next insIruction word located in memory address RJ, is 04 00 50 79 81. Since a
"00" code is placed in section 2 of the il1'ltruc,jon word,
the word stored in addr~ss 5\\ i~ simply stored in address
79. After the instruction has been carried out, the same
word appears in bo;.h of :~ddresses 51' and 79. The above
inslruc~ion word prin'ed out appears as 4,005,079.81.
Thus, it is seC';"!, an instnlction 'Nord actually appears :.s
a data word when printed out, with both types of words
being stored in memory in exactly the same manner as
previously mentioneu. In fa,t, it will become more ob\ious hereinafter that an instruction word is capable of
being 2,rithmeti'.:ally modified in the same manner as a
data word.
In the previous portion of the description, each of the
instruction words h~{s been illustrated as consisting of five
distinct groups of numbers of two decimal digits each.
This was done in order to emphasize the separate functions of each of the five sections thereof. However,
hereinllfter, 111l instruction words will be designated in
exactly the same manner as they appear while stored in
memory.
In the above example, suppose that the word in addre:'s 5'D is 0000000]55 and is to be shifted three placcs
to the i~ft, which, in efIect, mUltiplies the word by one
thousand, "and the result is to be :'tored in address 79.
In this inst211ce, an instruction word capable of initiating
tllis particular sClllience of events is 0423507981. After
being shift~d three plae~s to the left, the word subsequently stored in addrc'~s 79 is GOOD 155000. However, suppose inst'cad that ihe word in adJres:; 5 is to be shifted
one plJce to the right, whkh, in eff8ct, multiplies the
won I by onc t~nth. In tbis instance, the instruction
word is 044150798 l. Aflcr being ,;hiflcd one place to
the right, the word sllb~equcntly stored in address 79 is,
in this inst:wce, O()00000015.
HI" ulacin" tbe code designation "31l" in section 2 of
the "in:;t[l!eti~n word, the \;:ord being oj"lerafed upon is

There are two multiply instructions which are utilized
by the present computer. The first multiply instruction,
"multiply-and-store-dollar-decimal" (MDD), is a "fixed
decimal point" multiplication. That is, tlYO words having
a maxirnllm of ten decimal digits each are multiplied tobether to obtain a proJuct thereof haying a maximum of
twenty decimal digits. After tbe rnultiplic:ltion, the prodlIct is shifted one decif'.1:.l1 position to the ri".ht and effectively, "five cent>" is th811 added thcre(u "ie!' mde'r to
round eff the low-oruer digit thereof. Thercafkr, the
product is shifted one Illorc dccirn3i position to the right,
anJ the ten low-order di2its of the p,oduct r,re stutcd
in the "product" address.
111e numerical code for MDD-i.e., "12"-is in sect:on
1 of the instruction worJ; the aduress of the m!lltipli~,\Dd
is in section 2 of the instruction \\ioru; in section 3 tlKfeof is the address of the multiplicT; in ~eclion 4 is the audr~ss of the product; 2nd in section 5 is the ndJrcss of the
next instruction word.
If it is desired for tbe vlOrd in address 41> to be nlultiplied by the word in addres:i 5, the product i, to be
storeu in address 95, a[!d the n,~xt instruction woru is
stored in address G. An instruction word c~p3.ble of
initiating this particular sequence of events is 1240509560.
According to tbe laws of aj"ebra, the al"cbr3ic si"n
of the product depends on the sign of the tv"o"·words ml~!­
tiplicd. That is, the algebraic; sign of tbe product of
two positive or two negative words is positive, while the
algebraic sign of the product of a positive word and a
negative word is negative. The J'v1DD instruction is a
special form of the "multiply-and-shift-producC' imtruction (MUS), to be described next, due to the fact that
it is possible to obtain essentially the same result with
either imtruction. However, upon compktioll of a MDD
instruction, both factors are retained in their original
addresses in memory. It is to be noted that in a MDD
instruction, the address in ~eelion 3 of the instruction
word should not also be [he address into which the product
is ,to be stored; otherwise the product is incorrect in this
instance.

The second multipJy instruction, "multiply-and-shiftproduct," in contrast to the MDD instruelion, initiates
70 a variable-decimal-point type of multiplication. That is,
the two words are first multiplied togetber to obtain the
product thereof, which is stored in a twenty-digit register.

low-order digits of the shifted product are placed in the
product address in memory.
It is to be noted that the absolute values of the two
words, without regard to any decima,j point locations,
are mulliplied together to obtain the product. Thereafter,
thc product is shiil2d either to the left or to the right
by a maximum of nine decimal digit positions and t!u:n
"rounded" jf desired. As only the ten low-order digits
of 1:1e shifted product are stored in memory, :dl digits
above the ten low-order Digits are essentially ignored.
In section 1 of an in~inlction word for initiating a
MUS command is the code therefor, i.e., 13; in the highlow-order digital position of section 2 is the product
"number-of-shifts" code; in the high-order digital position of section 2 is the product "direction-of-shift" code;
in section 3 is the memory address of the mil1tip~icHTIl!;
in section 4 are the memory addresses of the multiplier
and the product; and in section 5 is the memory address
of the ne;.;,t instruction word.
Suppose th~t the word in address 78 (02222000ClO) is
to be multipHed by the word in address 89 (00COOOOO{)4),
the prodl;ct is to be shifted five places to the right, and
the next instruction word is stored in address 99. Thus,
an instruction word capable of efI.::cting the carrying out
of this particular command is 1345897899. Thc product,
berore being shifted in the direction of and by tbe Humber of places specified, is 00000000000888800000. After
being shifted fivc places to the right, the product stored
in address 89 is 0000OO88SS.
Again, according to the laws of algebra, th.: algebrD.ic
sign of the p;-oduct depends upon the sign of th<~ hvo
words being multiplied; the product of two positive or
two nc,edtive words is positive, while the product of a
positive WOH! and a nes;ative word is n·:gativ'e. It is to
be noted that the positive or negative product stored in
memory after the shifting operation is completed should
not exceed the capacity of the computer memory, Even
though the multiplicand may have essentially any value,
the absolute value of the multiplier, however, should not
be greater th,m 999999999. It is aLo to be noted that
the multiplier is effectively "lost" following a :MUS command. Therefore, to retain the multiplier, it is necess:uy
that a "shift" instruction precede the MUS instruction
in the program.

There are certain instances when it is desired for the
computer to carry out an alternate instruction if a certain
word in memory is equal to or greater than other particular words in memory. With the use of a CFM instruction, it is possible for the computer to algebraically compare the absolute magnitude of words located in two predetermined memory address;;s, and to use either the memory address specified in section 4 or the memory address
specified in section 5 of th~ instruction word for determining the next instruction word in the program, depending upon the result of the comparison.
In section 1 of the instruction word for effecting a CMF
operation is the numerical code therefor, Le., "15"; in section 2 thereof is the memory address of the first word
(x) to be compared; in section 3 is the memory address
of the second word (y) to be compared; in section 4 is
the memory address of the next instruction word if the
word in the memory address specified by section 2 is
equal to or greater than the memory address specified by
section 3; and in section 5 is the memory address of the
next instruction word if the word in the memory address
specified by section 2 is less than the word in the memory
add ress specified by section 3 of the instruction word,
Thus, if the first comparison word (x) is in address
46, the second comparison word (y) is in address 5""
the next regular instruction is in address lcp, and the
alternate instruction is in address 75. An instruction

ch:mnel (eLK), which are disposed paralicl with respect
to each other and with respect to the length of the tape.
A combination of perforations punched in predetermined
ones of the channel positions, and in a line perpendicular
to the length of the tape, collectively represent a particular decimal digit or symbol. For example, an absence
of a perforation in each of channels 1 through 4 represents the decimal digit "zero," assuming, of course, that
a perforation appears in the clock channel "CLK"; a
single perforation in channel 1 represents the decimal
digit "one"; a single perforation in channel 2 represents
the decimal digit "two"; a single perforation in channel 3
represents the decimal digit "four"; a perforation in channel 1 and channel 2 collectively represent the decimal
digit "three"; and so on, so that a perforation in channell and a perforation in channel 4 collectively represent
the decimal digit "nine." It is also to be noted that a
perforation in channel 6 and a perforation in channel 8
collectively represent an "end-of-frame" symbol (EOF),
and a perforation in channel 6 and a perforation in channel 7 collectively represent an "alternate-instruction"
symbol (AI).
In the operation of some of the various types of conventional paper tape punches, an odd number of holes,
exclusive of clock channel (CLK), is required to be
perforated in the tape to collectively represent a data
digit or a symbol digit. Thus, if a data digit or a symbol
digit is represented by an even number of holes, as shown,
a hole is additionally perforated in channel 5 in order
that an odd number of holes collectively represent that
particular digit; if the number of holes is already an odd
number, an additional hole is not perforated in channel
S. Thus, in the above tape, a hole is additionally perfor:lted in channel 5 whenever the holes perforated in
data channels 1 through 4 collectively represent either a
"zero," a "three," a Hfive," a Hsix," or a "nine. H Also,
a hole is additionally perforated in channel 5 whenever
the holes perforated in symbol channels 6 through 8 collectively represent either of the end-of-frame or alternateinstruction symbols.
Therefore, whenever a hole is perforated in channel 6,
as for symbols (EOF) and (AI), the digit is not considered as '\lata." Consequently, data punching errors
are cancelled simply by punching a perforation in channel 6 along with each incorrectly punched data digit, and
the computer is thereby instructed not to consider these
data digits. A perforation in both channel 6 and channel 7 effectively causes the computer to immediately stop
the tape when the tape reader "senses" the "alternateinstruction" symbol (AI) and to carry out the "alternate"
instruction specified in the instruction word. A perforation in both channel 6 and channel 8 causes the computer
to immediately stop the tape when the tape reader senses
the end-of-frame symbol (EOF) and to carry out the next
"regular" instruction specified in the instruction word. A
"frame" may comprise from one to one hundred words
ten decimal digits in length, with each word normally
punched one digit at a time, starting with the high-order
digit and ending with the low-order digit. However, each
word is thereafter sequentially read one digit at a time,
normally starting with the low-order digit and ending
with the high-order digit.
In an instruction word capable of initiating an "enterpunched-tape" operation, the code designation therefor
(i.e., "17") is in section 1 thereof; in section 2 is the
"direction code"; in section 3 is the memory address into
which is stored the first word read; in section 4 is the
memory address of the alternate instruction; and in section 5 is the memory address of the next regular instruction.
The "direction code" in section 2 of an EPT instruction word determines the direction in which the tape
is to be translated past the reading station. That is, a
"00" causes the tape to be translated in a forward direction to permit the reading of both data and symbol digits,

whereas a "01" causes the tape to be tram:lated in a reverse direction to permit the reading of symbol digits
only. Thus, the operation of an EPT command not only
is dependent upon the "direction code" in sestion 2 of
the instruction word but, in addition, depends upon the
p8rticul<:r type of digits to be read from the tape; i.e., data
or symbol. Howe·"er, when an EPT instruction is first
initiated, the particular digit which is located directly over
the tape-reader head, as represented by a particular combination of perforations, as heretofore described, may
bG either a decimal digit from "0" through "9", an endof-frame symbol (EOF), or an alternate-instruction symbol (AI).
Thus, suppose that the number "00" is in section 2
of the instruction word and a combination of perforaHOllS representing a decimal digit is loc~ted directly over
the rc~,ding head at the beginning of the cycle of operation. In this instance, the tape is translated in a forward
direction past the reading station, and the first ten decimal
(li!;its read are stored in memory at the address specified
in section 3 of the instruction word; the address in section 3 being incremented each time a ten-digit word is
stored in memory. Data words are sequentially read
from the tape and stored in memory until an end-of-frame
symbol (EOF) is read, after which the tape is stopped
and thereafter remains in position for the next recorded
digit to be read therefrom. In the event the number of
digits in a given frame does not equal an integral number
of ten-digit words, "zeros" are effectively "filled in" in
tli(: remaining high-order digitJI positions of the data
word stored in the last one of the memory addrcsses used,
thus completing the word. Thereafter, the computer carries out the dictates of the next instruction word stored
in the memory address specified in section 5 of the instruclion word. It is to be noted that the particular number of words, thus stored, is not determined by the instruction word. The number of words stored in memory
in response to an "enter-punched-tape" instruction is determined solely by the number of words recorded on the
tape between end-of-frame symbols.
If, in the preceding example, an alternate-instruction
symbol digit (AI) wns positioned over the reading head
instead of a data digit, the tape is then indexed forward
by a distance of one digit, and the computer thereafter
carries out the dictates of the alternate instruction word
which is stored in memory at the address specified in.
section 4 of the instruction word. In the preceding example, an en,J-of-frame symbol (EOF) represents an
"illegal" instruction for the computer. Consequently, in
this instance, the computer ignores that particular instruction and does not stop the tape.
If 1m "cntcr-punehed-tape" command (EPT) is initiateu with the number "01" in section 2 of the instruction
word nnd with a data digit initially positioned over the
rearling head, the tape first starts to rewind-I. e., is translated in a reverse direction-and, consequently, the data
information recorded on the tape is not read; thus nO
dGta is stored in memory from the tape. The tape con~
tinues to rewind until an end-of-frame symbol (EOF}
has been read. ,\fhen the end-of-frame symbol is read,
the computer imm~cliately begins to carry out the dictates of the next instruction word stored in memory at
the address specified by section 5 of the instruction word.
Thereafter, the tape continues to rewind until an alternate-instruction symbol is read, at which time the tape
is automatically stopped.
Should en end-of-frilmc s)'mbol digit be positioned over
the reading head in the just-preceding example ins.(ead of
a data digit, the tape staTts to rewind, and the computer
immediately begins to carry out the dictates of the next instruction word which is stored in memory at the address
specified in section 5 of the EPT instruction word. When
rrn alternate··instruction symbol (AI) is thereafter first
read, the movement of the tape is automatically stopped.
However, if an alternate-instruction symbol has been po-

3,112,394

101
sitioned over the reading head, the tape starts to rewind
and is slopped only wh;:n the next altern3te-instruction
symbol is read subsequent to an end-of-frame symbol.
When the "end-of-frame" symbol is read, the computer
starts ,to carry out the dictates of the next instruction
word which is stored in memory at the address specified
in section 5 of the EPT instruction word, even though
the tape continues to rewind under the control of the
tape unit only, and is autom~ltic~lly stopped when the next
~ltemate-instruction symbol (AI) is sensed, all end-of- 10
frame symbols (EOF) ess~ntially being ignored. It is
to be noted that successive "enter-punched-tape" instructions should be separated by a minimum time lapse of
approximately 3.5 miHiscconds.
In the preceding example, in which the code number 1:")
"01" is in section 2 of the instruction register instead of
"00" and the tape is in the process of being rewound, if
a subsequent "enter-punched-tape" (EPT) command is
initiated before the rewinding operation is completed and
the code number "00" is subsequently in section 2 of the 20
instruction register, the computer essentially waits until
the winding operation is completed before attempting to
earry out the ne;.;;t succeeding "enter-punched-tape'" command.
46. Format Code Designations of Instruction Words 25
As just described, the code designations for the eighteen
instruction words are numbered from "00'" through "17."
As will be seen later, the computer is properly responsive
to anyone of the code designations "00" through "09"
even though the high-order digit thereof is anyone of the
even-numbered digits 0, 2, 4, 6, or S. Thus, for example, the code designation for an "add" instruction (i.e.,
"03") is effective in initiating the proper sequence of operations even though stored as "08," "23," "48," "6S," or
"88." Also, the computer is properly responsive to either
of the remaining code designations "10" through "IT'
even though the high-order digit thereof is anyone of the
odd-numbered digits 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. For example, the
code designation for an "add-p::irs-of-numbers" instruction-i.e., "II "-is effective in initiating the proper sequence of operations even ,ulOugh stored as "11," "31,"
"51," '"71," or "91."
Following are three charts, respectively labeled I, II,
and IIr, which give an abbreviated listing and description
of the various instruction words and formats thereof as
previously described.

Ccnscquently, line~ Hi; and J4c remn 2 of the instruction
register (FJG. 57) is simultaneously preset to "00" by
line (PI¢)" which presets a FALSE state of output lines
17a through I7d, and 16a through 16d, also indicative of
"00"; section 3 (FIG. 58) is also simultaneously preset
to "00" by line (PI¢)', which presets the states of output
lines 15a through lSd, and 14a through 14d, FALSE,
indicative of "CO"; each of the digit-registers of sec,tion 4
(FIG. 58) is, however, simult::meously preset by binary
1111 by a TRUE-t::;-FALSE chang~ of state of line PI¢)',
which presets the states of output lines I3a through I3d
TR UE. indicative of bin:lry 1111, and presets the states of

preset to "GO" by line (PI4»', whi~h presets the stntcs of
output lines na through lId ~nd l¢a through I¢d, FALSE,
indica,uve of '"00."
From the foregoing, it is seen th~t s~lec!ive encrgization 'Of preset line (PI'IJ)' causes ea~h ~ec.tiGn of the
in;,trllction register '(0 be preset to "00," vlith the exception of section 4, eClch ~ection of whkh i, preset thcrehy
to bin:!ry 1111. In other words, the reference outputs
of all "he flipflops in sections 1, ~, 3, and 5 of the instruction register are preset FALSE, whcrca~. the refere;,c~
outputs of the flipflop> of s8ction 4 thcr~of are preset
TRUE by (PIp)' prior to the "loading" of a word from
memory into the instruction register. The reason for
thi, type of preset is that, due to the previously-described
decrementing vbility of section 4, it has been found
expedient, circuitwise, to fin'! prese't the reference output of each of the fiip!1ops of section 4 to a TRUE representa,tion and dlcn reverse the state of each particular
reference output whenever its correspDnding binary bit
from memory is "zero," contra to presetting the reference

outputs FALSE and Ib:n rC','crsh!J the state of each when
the corresponding bit from me~ory is a binary "one."
However, to avoid confusion, and for the purpose of
convenience in the following description, the above presetting technique of the instruction regisler by line (PI¢)'
will, nevertheless, be hereinafter referred to as presetting
the instruction register to "zero."
With reference to FIG. 58, the second preset line PRB
is a logical AND (1045) of lines SP and FG and is
utilized to preset section 4 of the instruction register to
"99" after the instruction register has previously been
preset by line (PI¢) '. The purpose for such a preset is
to be covered hereinafter.
As previously described with respect to the memory
sense amplifiers shown in FIG. 67 and the wave-form
chart of FIG. 86, each time a binary "one" is read out
of memory, the state of line MSA is changed from FALSE
to TRUE at a time approximately three microseconds
after TIME-3, and then its state returns to FALSE at
the next succeeding TfME-2. Thus. with reference to
FlG. 55, it is seen that from TIME-4 to the next SllCcceding TIlVIE-l during a "memory-to·in~truction-regis­
ter" word-cycle in which line MI is TRUE for approximately 1600 microseconds, line BaL is TRUE if the binary
bit "a" ju~t rcad out of memory is a "one," otherwise
line BaL remains FALSE; during the next succeeding
time interval of ten microseconds ,from TIME-4 Ito
TIME-t, line BbL is TRUE if the binary bit "bl> just
read out of memory is a "one," otherwise line BbL
remains FALSE; during the next succeeding time interval,
line BeL is TRUE if binary bit "e" just read out of
memory is a "one," otherwise line BeL remains FALSE;
and, during the next succeeding ten-microsecond time
interval from TIME-4 to TIME-I, line BdL is TRUE
if binary bit "d" just read out of memory is a "one,"
otherwise line BdL remains FALSE.
As shown in FIG. 59, lines BaL through BdL are each
individually ANDED with the low-order read-out line
D¢ of the previously-described digit counter (FIG. 63)
and then respectively connected to the reference inputs
of flipflops 6637-6034 of the low-order digit-register
(I¢) of section 5 of the instruction register; lines BaL
through BdL are also individually ANDED with the
second-order read-out line Dl of the digit-counter and
then respectively connected to the reference inputs of
flipflops 6033-6030 of the high-order digit-register (II)
of the fi fth section of the instruction register. Thus, if it
is assumed that the instruotion word stored in memory
address ¢1> is to be transferred into the instruction register, the state of flipflop 6037 is first "set" in a manner to
be indicative of the magnetic state of oore 885 (FIG.
52A), forty microseconds later the state of flipflop 6036
is "set" indicative of the magnetic state of core 886,
forty microseconds later flipflop 6035 is "set" indicative
of the sta,te of core 887, and so on, until the first eight
binary bits of the word in address ¢1> are effcc,tively stored
in section 5 of the instruction register, the first four bits,
of course, representing the low-order digit and the second
set of four bits representing the second-order digit of the
word in address ¢1>.
Input lines BaL through BdL are similarly ANDED
'with the remaining output lines D4 through D9 from the
digit counter to errect transfer of the corresponding digits
of the word in memory and subseqnent storage thereof in
sections 1 through 3 of the inSotruction register. For example, in section 3 (FIG. 58) are stored the fifth- and
sixth-order digits, in section 2 (FIG. 57) are stored the
sevenlh- and eighth-order digits, and in section 1 (FIG.
55) are stored the ninth- and tenth-order digits of the
word located in address ¢1>. As previously described,
the reference output from each of flipflops 6022 through
6029 (FIG. 58) of section 4 of the instruotion register is
initially preset TRUE just prior to a memory-to-instruc.
:tion-re,gister word ,j'xansfer. Thus, if the binary bit just

read ont of memory ie; a "zero," liEC (MSA)' remains
TRUE, and, consequently, output line S4L is rendered
TRUE from TIME-4 to TIME-t. Therefore, assuming
that low-order bit "a" of the third-order digit is a "zero,"
5 the prime input to flipflop 6026 go~s from TRUE to
FALSE at TIME-l approximately ,forty microseconds
after the state of flipflop 6030 (FIG. 59) is "set" indicative of bit "d" of the second-order digit of the word in
address 1>¢; a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of the prime in10 put to flipflop 6026, of course, "se'ts" the state thereof so
that output line 12a is rendered FALSE, indicative of
binary "zero." The remaining bits of the third and
fourth order digits are sequentially stored in section 4
in the same manner as just described.

diagram of FIGS. 45A 3nd 45D, the digit stored in a selectcd 'One of low-order digit-registers (Jq'J), (12), (14),
or (I6) is selectively stored in the low-order digit-register
(W1» of the word-selecting register, and, simultaneously therewith, the digit stored in a se:ecled one of highorder digit-registers (Il), (3), (IS), or (7) is selectively stored in the high-order digit-register (Wl) of the
'\vOId-selecting'r{)gister. Additionally, the low .. order digit
of section 2 of the instruction regis,ter is selectively stored
in an "R-counter," which is next to be described in detail.

56. R-Counter
With reference to FiG, 68, there is logically illustrated
45 a reverse-counting cotmter, herein3.fter termed "H.-counter," which includes four interconnected flipflops 6US7
through 6!l60. The F.-counter operates cs~entially in th~
3~.me mallncr as low-order digit-register (12) of section 4
of the instruction register, previously described in detail,
50 in that it is a single digit counter capabie of ClJunting in
a binary-coded-decimrl'l code in a rev~rse digital order.
For example, ,if the R-counter is initially at a count of
"nine," on each 'Occurrence of a TRUE·to-FALSE ch:mgc
of state 'Of line DR, the R-counter is effectivdy decre55 men(ed by one decimal digit until a count of "zero" is
reached. However, as no rccycling of the R-countcr is
provided, en the next subsequent change of state of line:

DR the R-countcr is returned to a count of binary 1111,
instead of binary 1001 as in digit-register (12). The two
presets provided for the R-collnter are pr~"et line PI{q),
which presets the counter to "zcro" by causing the states
of JlipJlops 6057 through 60GO to be such th;:t e"ch of the
referencc outputs thereof is FALSE (hereinafter known
as setting a ilipfiop "FALSE"), and preset lin:;) PRS, wh~ch
prese~s the counter to "eight" by "cUing 11ipflop 6060
TRUE and settinz flipflops 6(}57 th:-oll=~h 6C39 FALSE.
Any sin[;lc decimal digit, from "zero" 10 "nine," is sclectinly loaded into the H.-counter from two different
SOurCi;S. Fer example, the digit stored in the low-order
digit-register ([6) of section 2 of the instruction register
is transferred into the R-Collnter by means of selective
energization of line RLJ::'. However, prim to loading, all
four 1!ipflops 6:157 thmugh 6\)5G of the R-counter are first
preset FALSE by means of preset line PR,?, Thereafter,
the s:"te of each flijlfiop is selectively sct lly line RLR to

correspond to the statc of the: corresponding flil~n{)p in
digit-registcr (16) of the jpstruction register. Thus, if
digit-register (I6) were slar";', tbe numcral "six," so that
f1ipflops601l and 60]2 (FiG. 57) w"rc TRUE (fiipilo\lS
6010 and 60B being FALSE), v.'hen the state of line RLR
is rendered FALSE afcer being TRUE for o.t leGS! twenty
micrvseconds, both of flipl10ps (,'35il 2nd 6059 (FIG. 68)
are simultaneolisly set TRUE. There:ore, it is evident
that any digit from "zero" to) "nine" is selectively transf~rred from digit-register (16) to the R-counter.
After the R-counler h,b previously been preset to
"zero" by line PR¢>, any di:sit being read out of memory
is selectivdy stoTcd in th:; H.-counter by effecting sequential energization of line RU"i simu1:aneou,.ly with one of
output lines nil through Bd from the bit-counter (FIG.
62). Thlls, the bit-counter 'Oreratcs as a so-called "seri21izer" at the input of the R-counter to cfre:::t "elective setting cf tbe states of the fom f!;pflop~ th~rein to corresDond to the four binnry bit, being 5:?quenlially rez.d out

digit to be stored in the R-cocmtcr.
The R-counter is used in variolls cf the instructions for
diffcrent purposes. For e,~amp!e, in a "shift" instruction, the R-CO!..1ntcr is first !o::-tded with the lo\.\'-e:·'~>i· di.~:it
stored in section 2 of the instruction n:'2'i:~tcr, '\'\'hic!J. digit
specifi~s the number of places the word in memory is to

diCit:::1 order, th~ R-co~mter i:l effectiv:ly decrem'cnted by
one c!ecimd digit by line DR ~nd t11,"'1 is essclltiC!!ly
"ch,:cked" to determine if (he R-counLr is :It a count of
"zero." In that way, the R-collnler is used to serve as ,m
indic~tion as to the rern:.linlng nurnbc-r of dj~ital crdcrs
the word is to be shi£t~J. In a divic,ion operation, suppo,e th:lt it is ncces;:ary to perform a series of subtraction
operations during ,vllich e:ght sI1ift OpeL:Ltlon~ ,cf bo~h
the quotient 8J~d the fi~.ln:lindcr is l\~GLdn:d. In this :r:~
stance, the R-counter is initially preset to a count of
·~eight" l:lnd thcrcafU;r dccrC!n~!1tcd by onc decin1.:-d di,~;t
after c3cb shifting oi,eratiGll is completed, until a count
of "zero" is reached. In other words, the R-countcr
counts dO\'/llwardiy .from "eight" and thus keeps a record
of the numb:::r of shifts remaining. h1 a "m:l1tiplv-anllshift" instruction, the R-counter is sequentially loaded
with each on~ of the digits of the TnUilir1icr word in
nlcmory. The }~-COljnter nlC~1 con~rols t~le number of
times that the multiplicand i~ added into an accumubting
rC::iistcr, and si;;nifics wilen the requited numbers of add itions have been performed. in a "multinly-:md-c.hift" or
a "multiply-dollar-decimal" instruction, the R-::ountcr is
utilized to record the number of times that the product
has been shifted, and, as a result, determines the number
of shifting operations re:naining to be compicted.
The R-counter is capable of providing three logic"llyderived readuut signals from output lines R¢, Ttl, and R3.

as it is being carried out.

digit-register (I5), the F-counter is capable of counting
from "zero" to "Jiflcen" and then recycling to a count
of Hzero.'~
Prior to a mathematical computation, the F-counter is
{) generally preset to "zero" by means of a FALSE-to-TRUE
c:lUnge of state of preset lin~ PF¢>. Thereafter, on e~;ch
successive TRUE-to-FALSE change of state of line AF,
tbe F-countcr is incremented from a "zero" count and
advanced by one decimal diGit for each change of state
10 of line AF. It is to be noted, however, that selective
cncr;;iz:ttlon of line PI' presents the F-counter back to
"zero" regardless of the count held thercin. The F-counter
is provided with four readout lines, F, F8. F9, and Fl¢,
w~;ich rcspectively indb;te a COlmt of "zero," "eight,"
L:; "nine," and ~Iten" thereof.

Du.::! to the het that ther,~ is no "borrowing" of digits
in the present tyre of computation, the carry digit is
~;ddcd to the next highcr~order digit stored in the "K"
digit~rcgister ralher than being subtr:!ctcd from the cor~
responding next higher~order digit in the "J" digit-register. In other words, any carry "one" digit effectively
increments the next succeeding digit in the "K" digitregister rather than decrementing the next sLlcceeding
digit in the "1" digit-register.
Tile just-described subtraction operation is sequentially repeated for each of the next successively higher-order
digits until the remainder derived from the subtraction
cper:l.tion is in address-A. As in the "add" instruction,
tIle final step in the "subtract" instruction is to copy t!1~
remainder data 'Nord into the particular address in memory, as previously specified.
From the foregoing, it is evident that the adder-subtracter unit is ,arable of adding two decimal digits and
a carry digit, either "zero" or Hone," and to obtain therefrom a d; one
decimal dicit, plus a carry digit of eilher "zero" Of "one,"
from a second decimal digit aGel of obtaining therefrom
a (It:cimal remainder digit and a new decimal carry digit.
Essentially, the adder-subtracter unit is an "adder" and
a "subtracter" combined into one cifcuit~sharing unit,
the adder ponion being selectively capable of individually performing 1he ne::cssary arithmetic computation whenc·'lcr an addition operation is required, and the sLlbtmcter
portion being selectively capab1e of individually performing the necessary aritln:letic ccmputation vt/hen ..;ver a sl.1btraction operation is required.

indicative of a binary "1" carry resulting from addition of

The "e" bit in the "J" digit-register being a binary "1"
and the "c" bit in the "K" digil-re:;is,ter being a binary
"0," the state of line Ie is TRUE :md the state of line Kc
is FALSE. As none of AND g:ltes 920 through 923 have
all of the inputs thereto sinmitancously TRUE, the st:ltc
of output line r is FALSE; consequently, the sum of the
"e" bits plus the "b" bit carry is "0."
As the respective states of lines Je, (Ke)' {jC, ~md
(SAS)' arc each TRUE, all of the inputs to AND gate
926 are simultaneously TRUE. Consequently, the state
of output line re is TRUE, indicative of a binary "1"
carry resulting from addition of the "e" bits and the "b"
bit carry.
The high-order or "d" bit in the "j" digit-register being a binary "0" and the "d" bit in the "K" digit-register
being a binary "1," the state of line Jd is FALSE and the
state of line Kd is TRUE. With reference back to FIeL
54, as none of AND ~ates 934 through 937 have all of
the inputs thereto simu1t::meously TRUE, the state of 0:'1tput line s is FALSE, thus indicating that the sum of the
"d" bits plus the "e" bit carry is a binary "0."
Finally, as thc states of both of lines Kd and re are
TRUE, all of the inputs to AND g:lte 929 are simultaneously TRUE. As a result, the state of output line t h
TRUE, thus indicating a binary "I" carry resulting from
addition of the He!" bits pIllS the "('''bit cnrry.
Therefore, as the state of output line t is TRUE and
the state of each of output lines s, r, q, and ANa is FALSE,
the sum of the digit "7" (binary 0111) and the digit "9"
(binary 1001) is therefore indicated as being "16," or
binary 10000. The binary sum-i.e., lOOOO-j, converted ,to a bin::ry-coded-decimal form in the following
manner: As the state of the single input to Al-.JD gate
948 (FIG. 54) is TRUE, the state of output line EAS is
TRUE, thus indicative of a decimal "1" carry. Therefore. as the state of each of lines EAS and (q)' is TRUE,
the ~tate of output line ANb is likewise TRUE, thus indicating that the value of the "b" bit of the sum digit is a
binary "I." As the state of each of lines (q)', t, and
(SAS)' is TRUE, all the inputs to AND gate 942 are
TRUE, thus rendering output line ANe TRUE and thereby indicating that the value of the "e" bit of the sum
digit is a binary" 1." As none of AND gates 945 through
947 have all of the inputs thereto simultaneously TRUE,
the state of line ANd is FALSE and thereby indicat'~s
that the high-order bit '"d" of the sum digit is a binary
It is now evident that, upon completion of the jllst-

described addition operation of the two decimal digits
"7" and "9," the state of output line ANa is FALSE, the
state of output line ANb is TRUE, the state of output
Jine ANe is TRUE, and the state of output line ANd is
FALSE. Thus, the states of output lineS ANa throu:~h
ANd collectively represent the sum digit "6" (binary
0110). As the state of output line EAS is simultaneously
TRUE, as before stated, its state is indicative of the
decimal "1" carry digit.

of lines Tl2 through TIS (FIGS_ 64 and 64) in the

manner previously described with respect to the mode

of operation of instruction register. Also during the

address-A of the word located in tile memory address specified by a particular section of the instruction register, 45 in order to initiate anyone of word-cycles "AM," "BM,"
"CJ\1," "1fA," "MJ," or "111," the state of a correspondthe word also being simultaneously copied digit by digit
ingly-labeled input line to logical OR 3116 is rendered
into the "J" digit-register_
TRUE and thereby renders the state of output line l'vlYW
The second category comprises word-cycles (CA-O-*),
TRUE also_ As previously described, the state of output
(CB-O-*), and (CM-n-*), which are hereinafter respectively designated "CA," "CB," and "CM" word-cycles. 50 line MYW is rendered TRUE for a period of 1680 microseconds to permit one of V-driver output lines YD",
Again, as shown in the just-preccding chart, a "CA"
through
YD9 (FIG_ 65) to be selectively energized for
word-cycle is capable of selectively initiating two distinct
twenty-microsecond periods by selected ones of output
modes of operation_ The first mode of operation seleclines W",
 (FIG. 71) and PKop (FIG.
70) experience a TRUE-lo-FALSE reversal of state when
line AD is rendered FALSE at the first TIME-4. Consequently, both the "1" and "K" digit-registers are respectively preset to "0" by lines Plop and PK at the first
TIME-4 when line AD is rendered FALSE. With reference to FIG. 53, also at TIME-4 when line AD is rendered FALSE, the prime input to flipflop 6000 experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, so that line
PCI is thereby rendered FALSE. Thus, in a sense, carry
flipflop 6000 of the adder-subtracter unit is preset to "0."
As shown in FIG. 79, when line DDF is rendered
FALSE at the Hrst TIME-4, the state of flipflop 6105
is reversed, so that output line SHA is rendered TRUE
thereby. When line SHA is rendered TRUE at the first
TIME-4, digit-cycle lines MK (FIG. 69) and AJ (FIG.
71) are both rendered TRUE thereby also at the first

3,112,39·1

137

138

TIME-4. With reference to FIG. 60, when line SHA
is rendered TRUE at the first TIME-4, line (SHA)'
being simultaneously rend:n~d FALSE, output line ZA
is rendered FALSE.
As shown in FIG. 60, as line MK is rendered TRUE
at TIME-4, output line MYW is also rendered TRUE for
the first time at TIME-4. It is to be noted that, at the
first TIME-l when line ZA was rendered TRUE, output
line A'iVY is also rendered TRUE thereby. Consequently, due to the fact th::tt line AJ is rendered TRUE
at TIME-4, output line A YW remains TRUE even
though line ZA is rendered FALSE at TlME-4. When
line CFF is rendered TRUE at the first TIME-4, all the
inputs to logical AND 1094 are simultaneously TRUE.
Consequently, at the second TIME-I, the state of flipflop
6038 is reversed, so that output l:n~ Si\IC is rendered
TRUE thereby. Immediately thereafter, a sequence of
four read-write cycles of operation are carried out in
essentially the same manner as previously described with
respect to that portion of the description entitled "Detailed Read-Write Cycle."
During the first fOllr read-write cycles, the four binary
bits of the first-order digit of the word stored in addressA is sequentially read out and simulVmeously stored
bit by bit in the "J" digit-register (FIG. 71) via gate
1419 and line JL. Simultaneollsly therewith, the fIrst
four binary bits of the first-order digit of the word
stored in a selected one of memory addresses ¢r/> through
99 are sequentially read out and simultaneously stored
bit by bit in the "K" digit-register (F!G. 7(}) via gate 1383
and line KL. As just seen, it is possible to simultaneously
read from a selected one of memory addresses A or B
and a selected one of memory addresses ¢.p through 99.
However, as before mentioned, a different word cannot
be simultaneously written in the two selected addresses.
Since it is dcsired that the selccted word in one of memory
addresses ¢¢ through 99 be preserved, the firsl-order
digit just read from one of memory addresses cPr/> through
99 is simultaneously stored in the first-order digital positions of address-A and the selected one of addresses ¢
through 99. Consequently, with reference to FIG. 60,
the information to gate IG38 from line ASA is essentially suppressed due to the fact that the state of line
(RAD)' is FALSE durin3 the carrying-out of an "HAD"
subcommand. This type of suppression is also necessary during the carrying-out of a "RSB" subccmma!1d,
which is to be described hereinafter.
During the last bit time of the fourth rend-write cycle,
the bit-counter (FIG. 62) is at a count of "d," so that
output lines BCa and BCb from flipflops 60£il and 61M2,
respectively, are TRUE. Consequently, with reference
to FIG. 61, at TIME-4 of the last bit time, the state of
the prime input to flipflop 6039 is reversed from TRUE
to FALSE, and, as a result, flipflop 6039 reverses state,
so that output line CFF is rendered FALSE at nr,rE-4
of the fourth read-write cycle and line CYC is thereafter
prevented from subsequently effecting advancement of
the count of the bit-counter. When line CFF is rendered
FALSE, line (CFF)' being rendered TRUE, the state of
the prime input to flipflop 6038 (FIG. 6D) is reversed
at TlME-l following completion of the four read-write
cycles, and, as a result, the state of flipflop GQ38 is reversed, so that output line SMC is thereafter FAL '.:E.
Also at TIME-4 when line (CFF)' is rendered TRUE,
lines DDF and IW (FIG. 61) are rendered TRUE at
the following TIME-3 and FALSE ten micr05ccor.ds
later at T1ME-4. With reference to FIG. 79, when the
output of gate 1691} is rendered FALSE at TIr,1E--1 by
line DDF, the state of flipflop 6105 is reversed, so that
output line SHA is rendered FALSE thercbv. When
SHA is rendered FALSE at TIME-4, line ~:H( (fIG.

69) is thereby rendered FALSE, line AJ (FIG. 71) is
thereby rendered FALSE, and line ZA (FIG. 60) is thereby rendered TRUE.
With reference to FIG. tiO, it is to be noted that, when
liJ1e MK is rendered FALSE, line lVIYW is rendered
FALSE thereby, and, consequently, the "Y" drivers for
memory addresses ¢¢ through 99 are prevented from
being energized. However, even though line AJ was
rendered FALSE at TIME-4, line ZA was simultaneously rendered TRUE. Therefore, line A YW remains
TRUE, and, consequently, the "Y" driver for address-A
is permitted to be selectively energized.
With reference to FIG. 61. when the output of logical
AND 1116 is rendered FALSE at TIME-4, the state of
flipflop 6039 is reversed, so that output line CFF is
rendered TRUE. Thus, at TIME-4 when line CFF is
rendered TRUE, line CYC is likewise rendered TRUE
and is rendered FALSE ten microseconds later at TIME1. When line CYC experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE
reversal of state at TIME-I, the bit-counter (FIG. 62)
is effectively advanced from a count of "d" to a count
of "a." Also at TU,iIE-l, line S!>.'fC (FIG. 60) is rendered
TRUE by a reversal of state of flipflop 6038.
As is evident from the preceding portion of the description relating to the adder-subtracter portion of the
computer (FIGS. 53 and 54), immediately following
the simultaneous copying into the "J" and "K" digitregisters of bit "d" from each of the first-order digits
of the word originally stored in one of memory addresses
¢¢ through 99 and the word stored in 'One of addresses
A and B, the slim and carry digits are immediately available at the output of the adder-subtracter unit and ready
for respective storage into address-A and carry flipflop
6(lOO (FIG. 53). - --'1-'-

140
cycles, subcommand "RAD" is essentially turned "ON"
at TIME-I. During the first bit time of forty microseconds after subcommand "RAD" is "ON," the control circuitry for the memory is properly conditioned for simultaneous reading and writing with respect to address-A and
a selected one of addresses ¢¢ through 99. Thereafter,
a sequence of four read-write cycles is initiated, during
which the first-order digit of the word in address-A is
stored in the "I" digit-register, and, simultaneously therewith, the first-order digit of the word in a selected one
of memory addresses ¢¢ through 99 is stored in the "K"
digit-register. Following the fil'st sequence of four readwrite cycles, the sum and carry digits of the first--order
digits of the two operands appear at the output of the
adder-subtractor unit. Therefore, during the next bit time
of forty microseconds following the first sequence of readwrite cycles, the control circuitry for the memory is properly conditioned preparatory to writing the low-order sum
digit into the low-order digital position of address-A.
Thereafter, a second sequence of four read-write cycles
is initiated, during which time the sum digit is stored
in the proper digital position of address-A.
The above sequence of events is sequentially repeated
for each of the remaining digits of the two operands
until the sum of the two operands is derived "nd stored
in address-A. After the addition operation is completc:d,
line RAD remains TRUE for one more bit time of forty
microseconds for other control purposes and then is renderel! FALSE. It is seen, therefore, that a "RAD" subcommand comprises twenty digit-cycles, each of which is
five binary bits in length, plus one spare bit at the end
of the subcommand for control purposes. Consequently,
the tolal time required to complete a "RAD" subcommand
is 101 binary bit times of forty microsecond~ each, or
approximately .004 second.
The mode of operation of each of subcommands "RSB"
(Regular Subtract), "CPA" (Complement in "A"),
"CPM" (Complement in Memory Addresses ¢¢ through
99), "DAD" (Add Constant to "B"), and "ARO" (Add
Constant to "A") is essentially the same as for a "RAD"
subcommand except for minor exceptions, and, conscquently, a detailed description thcreof is not deemed necess~ry for a full and complete understanding thereof. An
"RSB" subcommand, for example, essentially differs only
in that subtract line SAS of the adder-subtractor unit
(FIGS, 53 and 54) is rendered TRUE by line RSB at the
beginning of the "RSB" subcommand.

Consequently, the difference between the two digits in
the "J" and "K" digit-registers is obtained each time
instead of the sum thereof, all of which is fully described
previously with respect to that pmtion of the description
relating to the adder-subtracter unit.
In order to carry out a "CPA" subcommand, the word
stored in address-A is complemented and ther~after stored
in address-A. To accomplish this, each digit of the word
in address-A is subtracted from "0," and the difference
digit is stored in the proper digital position of address-A,
with the carry digit being stored in the carry flipflop of
the adder-subtracter unit, as previously described. To
accomplish this, "0" is obtained by presetting the "1"
digit-register to "0" at the beginning of the subcommand
and, thereafter, leaving the "1" digit-register in the "preset to zero" condition during the entire subcommand.
Consequently, during each sequence of four read-write
cycles, the particular order digit of address-A is stored
in the "K" digit-register. Thereafter, the digit is subtracted from "0" by tbe adder-subtracter unit, and, during
the second sequence of four read-write cycles, tbe remainder digit is stored in tbe proper digital position of
address-A. A "CPM" subcommand is carried out in a
similar manner; however, in carryLng out a "DAD" subcommand, the word in address-B is selectively added to
either of the constants 000000000 1 or OOOOOO{}005, and,
therafter, the sum tbereof is stored in address-B. This
is accomplisbed by first presetting the "K" digit-register
to zero and immediately thereafter presetting tbe "J"
digit-reigister to "I" or "5" at the beginning of the initiation of the subcommand, depending upon the pal1icular constant desired to be added to the word in address-B.
After ,the first-order digit of the word in address-B is
stored in the "K" digit-register, the sum digit derived
from the contents .of the "1" and "K" digit-registers is
stored in the fkst-order digital position of address-B.
Thereafter, the "J" digit-register is preset to "0" and remains in the "preset to zero" condition during the remainder of the subcommand. An "ARO" subcommand selectively effects the addition of the word of address-A to the
constant O(}OOO00005 and, thereafter, effects storage of
the sum in address-A instead of address-B in substantially
themme manner as a "DAD" command.
Like the previously-described subcommands, a "SA"
and a "SB" subcommand comprises twenty digit-cycles,
each five bit times in length, plus one bit time at the end
of the subcomman.d for control purposes. Thus, tbe
length of a "SA" and a "SB" subcommand is 101 bit times

of forty microseconds each, or 4.04 milliseconds. In
carrying out the dictates of a "SA" subcommand, each of
the ten decimal digits of the word in address-A is effectively shifted, either to the next higher-ordc'r digital position or to the next lower-order digital position therein,
which, in effect, respectively multiplies or divides the
word in address-A by "ten." An "SB" subcommand
effects the shifting of the word in address-B in a similar
manner.
Before desoribing in detnil the modes of operation effected by the "SA" and "SB" subcommands, a brief description of each will now be given in order to facilitate
a full and complete understanding thereof.
If it is assumed that the word in address-A is to be
shifted one place to the left, the "K" digit-register is
first preset to "0" at the beginning of the cycle of operation. Thereafter, the digit-counter is advanced from a
count of "9" to a count of "0," and the '']'' digit-register
is simultaneously preset to "0." After the "J" digit-register is preset to "0," the first-order digit of the word in
address-A is transferred to the ''1'' digit-register, and the
contents of tbe "K" digit-register-i.e., "{}"-is stored in
the first-order digital position of address-A. Thereafter,
the digit-counter is advanced from a count of "0" to a
count of "1," and the "K" digit-regis,ter is again pr~set
to "0," even though, in fact, the digit·register is already
effectively storing a "0.". After the "K" digit-register is
preset to "0," the second-order digit of the word in
address-A is transferred to the "K" digit-register, and the
first-order digit of the word, previously sto.red in the "]"
digit-register, is stored in the second-order digital position of address-A. TIlereafter, the digit-counter is advanced from a count of "1" to a count of "2," and the
"J" digit-register is again preset to "D." After the "j"
digit-register is preset to "0," the third-order digit of tbe
word in address-A is stored therein, and the second-order
digit in the "K" digit-register is stored in the third-order
digital position of address-A. Thereafter, the digit
coup-ter is advanced from a count of "2" to a count Gf
"3," and th~ "K" digit-register is again preset to "0." The
just-stated sequence of events is repeated until each of
the digits of the word in address-A is sequentially shifted
to the next higher-order digital pmiti(>ll therein.
In order to shift the word ill address-A one digital
position to the right, instead of to the left, as just described, both the bit-counter and the digit-counter are
each effectively operated in a reverse direction, and, as a
result, reading und writing with respect to address-A are

r,112,394

1<14
aim in reverse order. TImt is, btt '\1" of lk tent]l· ol'(1:;r
digit of the word in address-A is the first to be read alit.
and bit "a" of the first-order digit of the vlOrd in address-A
is the last to be read out. Therefore, at the beginning
of the operatbn, the "1(" cligit-regist~r is preset to "0,"
2nd the digit-counter is decremented from a count of "0"
to a count of "9." There.after, the "J" digit-register is
preset to "0," niter which the tenth-order digit is stored
in the "J" digit-register. After the tenth-ol:-der digit is
transferred to ,the 'T' d;git-rcgister, the contents of the
"K" digit-register-i.e., "O"-is stored in the tenth-ord~r
digital position of address-A. Thereafter, the digitcounter is decremented from a cOllnt of "9" to a COllnt
of "8," and the "K" digit-re~ister is preset to "0'," and
so on, until the second-order digit of the word of address-A
is shifted to the first-order digital position therein.
It is to be noted that, in order to preserve the sign of
a negative number whose complement is to be shifted a
prescribed number 'Of places to the right, the "K" di,gitregister is initially preset to "9," and the numeral "9" i,
stored in the tenth-order digital position of the word at
the beginning of each shifting operation of the word.
Otherwise, the sign is not pre~erved.
As the word in addrcss-B is shifted eilher to the left or
to the right via an "ASB" subcommand in e~senlial!y the
same manner as just described with respect to address-A,
u further description thereof is 110t deemed necessary for
a full and complete understanding of the mode of op~ra­
tion the'reo-f.
As will be seen later, in carrying out u "multiply-Jollardecimal" (MCC-12) or a "multiply-rmd-shift" (l\IUS13) instruction, the .ten-digit word s stored in addrcsses
"A" and "B" are effectively combined to form a tVlcntydigtt word, whereby address-B contains the tcn lowerorder digits and address-A contains the ten higher-order
di[,>1ts of the twenty-digit word. In order to shift such a
twenty-digit word one place to the right, a "SA" subcommand is initiated, whereby the word in address-A is
shifted to the right in the same manner as just described.
However, at the conclusion of the "SA" subcommand,
the original first-order digit of the word is address-A
is stored in the "K" digit-register, and a "SB" subcommand is -thereafter initiated. In this instance, however,
the "K" digit-register is not initially preset to "0" at the
beginning of the "SB" subcommand. Consequently, when
the word in address-B is shifted one place to the right, in
the manner just described, the original first-order digit of
the word in address-A, which is stored in the UK" digitregister, is sto'red in the tenth-order digital position of
address-B. Thus, each of the twenty digits of the twentydigit word is effectively shifted to the next lower-order
digital position of addresses "A" and "B."
More specifically, a "SA" subcommand for shifting
,left is initiated and carried out in the following manner: With reference to FIG. 78, and with additional
reference to the following timing chart, in initiating a
"SA" subcommand, the reference input toO flipflop 610'1
is properly conditioned, so that, when line AN experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, indicating
completion of the previollsly-initiated sequence of events
to the extent that a "SA" subcommand is permitted to
be initiated thereafter, output line SA is rendered TRUE
by a reversal of state of flipflop 6101 at the first TIME-I.
With reference to the lower left-hand corner of FIG. 62,
the state of line GOO is rendered TRUE at TlME-l by
line SA and remains TRUE as long as the state of line
SA 'remains TRUE. With reference ~o the lower lefthand corner of FIG. 71, the states of lines JA and JJF
are also rendered TRUE at TIME-I by line SA. As
shown in FIG. 60, the state of line SOD is rendered
TRUE at TIME-I due to the fact that the state of line
JA is rendered TRUE at that time. Therefore, at the
following TIME-3, all the inputs to logical AND 1113
(FIG. 61) are simultaneously TRUE, thus rendering
line DDF TRUE at TIME-3. Ten microseconds later,

at TIME-4,the state of line DDF is rendered FALSE
by line C34, and, consequently, the state of flipflop 6039
is reversed, so that the ~tate of output line CFF is rendered TRUE thereby.
At TIME-4, when the state of line CFF is rendered
TRUE, the state of line CYC is rendered TRUE and
remains TRUE for ten microse{;onds, at which time line
Cye is rendered FALSE. Thus, when line CYC experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE change of state, the bitcounter (FIG. 62) is incremented from a count of "d"
to a count of "a," in the same manner as previously described. With reference to FIG. 79, when the state of
line DDF is rendered FALSE at TIME-4, the state of
flipflop 6105 is reversed, so that output line SHA is rendered TRUE thereby at TIME-4. As shown in FIG. 71,
when line SHA is rendered TRUE, the state of line AJ
is rendered TRUE thereby, and, simultaneously therewith, the state of line JA is rendered FALSE thereby.
At TIME-3 when the state of line DDF is rendered
TRUE, line AD (FIG. 61) is rendered TRUE for a period of tcn microseconds, after which time line AD is
rendered FALSE. When line AD experknces a TRUEto-FALSE change of state 'at TIME-4, the digit-counter
(FIG. 63) is advanced from a count of "9" to a count
of "0," in the smne manner as previollsly described. At
TIME-4 when the state of line AD is revc:rsed from
TRUE to FALSE, the states of preset lines PJ¢ (FIG.
71) and PK¢ (FIG. 70) are both reversed thereby from
a TRUE state to a FALSE state. Consequently. the "J"
and "K" digit-registers are both preset to "0" at TIME-4,
in the same manner as previously described. At the second TIl\.fE-l, the state of flipflop 6038 (FIG. 60) is rever;,cd, and output line SMC is rendered TRUE thereby
8l1d thus effects a r;:ad-write cycle, in substantially the
same manner as previously described with respect to a
"RAD" subcommand, to transfer the first-order bit of
the first-order digit of the word in address-A, and subsequent storage of the bit in the "J" digit-register (FIG.
71), via selective energization of line JL, all in the manner previously desnibed.
At the third TIME-I, the bit-counter is effectively advanced from a count of "a" to a count of "b," a second
read-write cycle is initiated, and, consequently, the second-order bit of the first-order digit in address-A is
stored in the "J" digit-register. At the fourth TIME-I,
the bit-counter is again incremented, a third read-write
cycle is initiated, and the third-order bit of the first-order
digit of the word in address-A is stored in the "1" digitregister. Finally, at the fifth TIME-I, the bit-counter
is incremented to a count of "d," a fourth read-write
cycle is initiated, and, as a result, the fourth-order bit of
the first··order digit of the word in address-A is s~ored in
the "1" digit-register.
At TIME-4 during the fourth read-write cycle, the
state of flipflop 6039 (FIG. 61) is reversed, and line
CFF is thereby rendered FALSE. Ten microseconds
later at the following TIME-I, the state of flipflop 6038
(FIG. 60) is reversed, and line SMC is thereby rendered FALSE to prevent a read-write eycle from being
initiated at that time. At the following T!ME-3, thirty
microseconds after the stale of line CFF is rendered
FALSE, the state of line DDF (FIG. 61) is rendered
TRUE and remains TRUE until the following TIME-4,
at which time line DDF is rendered FALSE. When line
DDF is rendered FALSE at TIME-4, the state of flipflop 6105 (FIG. 79) is reversed, so that output line SHA
is thereby rendered FALSE at TIME-4. Also at TIME4 when the state of line SHA is rendered FALSE, ~he
state of flipflop 6101 is reversed, EO that output line SHB
is thereby rendered TRUE at TIME-4.
.
With reference to FIG. 71, when the state of lme
(SHB)' is rendered FALSE, the state of line AJ is thereby rendered FALSE. However, with reference to FIG.
69, when the state of line SHB is rendered TRUE, the
state of line KA is thereby rendered TRUE, and,conse-

3,112,394

146

145
quently,the state of line SOO (FIG. 60) remains unchanged. Also at TIME--4 following the fourth readwrite cycle, the state of flipflop 6039 (FIG. 61) is reversed, so that the state of line CFF is thereby rendered
TRUE. With reference to FIG. 60, ten microseconds
after the state of line CFF is rendered TRUE, the state
of flipflop 6038 is reversed, so that the state of line SMC
is rendered TRUE at TIME-I. With reference to FIG.
61, ten microseconds after the state of line CFF is rendered TRUE, line CYC eJ.':periences a TRUE-to-FALSE
reversal of state and thereby advances the bit-CO'Ilnter
(FIG. 62) kom a count of "d" to a count of "a." Consequently, at TIME-I there is again initiated a sequence
of four read-write cycles whereby the digit stored in the
"K" digit-register-i.e., "O"-is stored in the first-order
digital position of address-A.
At TIME-4 foHowing the se.:ond sequence of four
read-write cycles, the bit-counter being at a count of
"d," the state of flipflop 6039 (FIG. 61) is reversed, so
that the state of line CFF is thereby rendered FALSE.
At the following TIME-I after the state of line CFF is
rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6038 (FIG. 60) is
reversed, so that the state of output line SMC is thereby
rendered FALSE. As shown in FIG. 61, at the following TIME-3 after the state of line (CFF), ~s rendered
TRUE, ~he state of line DDF is rendered TRUE for a
period of ten microseconds and then is rendered FALSE
at the following TIME--4. At TIME--4 when line DDF
is rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6105 (FIG. 79)
is reversed, so that the state of line SHA is thereby rendered TRUE. However, at this time the state of line
SHB does not reverse, but, instead, remains TRUE.
With reference to FIG. 61, at TIME-3 when the state
of line DDF [s rendered TRUE, the state of line AD is
rendered TRUE for a period of ten microseconds, after
which period the state of line AD is rendered FALSE.
When line AD experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE change of
state at TIME-4, the digit-counter (FIG. 63) is incremented from a count of "0" to a count of '"I," in a manner previously described. At TIME--4 when the state o.f
line (SHA)' is rendered FALSE, the states of lines KA
and KKF (FIG. 69) are thereby rendered FALSE. However, at TIME-4 when the state of line SHA is rendered
TRUE, the state of ldne AK is thereby rendered TRUE,
and, consequently, the state of line SOO (FIG. 60) remains TRUE. With reference to FIG. 70, at TIME-4
when lines AD and KKF experience TRUE-to-FALSE
changes of states, the state of line PK.p is reversed from
TRUE to FALSE and effects the presetting of the "K"
digit-register to "0."
Also at time-4, the state of flipflop 6039 (FIG. 61)
is reversed, so that the state of line CFF is thereby
rendered TRUE. When the state of line CFF is rendered
TRUE, the state of output line CYC is also rendered
TRUE and remains TRUE for a period of ten microseconds, at which time ,the state of line CYC is rendered
FALSE. When the state of line CYC experiences a
TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state at TIME-I, the bitcounter (FIG. 62) is 'advanced from a count of "d" to a
count of "a." Also at TIME-I, the state of flipflop 6038
(FIG. 60) is reversed, so that the state of line SMC is
,thereby rendered TRUE. Consequently, at TIME-I, a
third sequence of four read-write cycles is initiated, in
the manner previously described, so that the four binary
bits of the second-order digit of the word in address-A
are read out and stored in the "K" digit-register (FIG.
70) via lines ASA and KL.
At the following TIME-4 after the bit-counter has
reached a count of "d," the state of flipflop 6039 (FIG.
61) is reversed, and the state of line CFF is thereby
rendered FALSE. Ten microseconds later, the state of
flipflop 6038 (FIG. 60) is reversed, and the state of line
SMC is rendered FALSE at the following TIME-I to
prevent a read-write cycle from being initiated during
the following control period. With reference to FIG. 61,

at the following TIME-3, the state of line DDF is again
rendered TRUE and remains TRUE for a period of ten
microseconds, after which time the state of line DDF is
rendered FALSE at the following TIME-4.
With reference to FIG. 79, at TIME-4 when line DDF
experiences a TRUE.to-FALSE reversal of state, the state
of flipflop 6105 is reversed, so that the state of output
line SHA is thereby rendered FALSE. Consequently,
when line SHA experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal
of state, the state of flipflop 6106 is reversed, so that the
state of output line SHB is also rendered FALSE at
TIME-4. Consequently, the state of line AK (FIG. 69)
is rendered FALSE at TIME-4 when the states of lines
SHA and SHBare rendered FALSE. However, at the
same time, the states of lines JA and JJF (FIG. 71) are
rendered TRUE. Consequently, the state of line SOO
(FIG. 60) remains TRUE. Also at TIME-4, when the
state of line DDF is rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop
6039 (FIG. 61) is reversed, so that the state of output
line CFF is thereby rendered TRUE. When the state of
line CFF is rendered TRUE at TIME-4, the state of line
CYC again is rendered TRUE and remains TRUE for
a period of ten microseconds,after which period its state
is rendered FALSE. Consequently, when line CYC experiences a TRUE·to-FALSE reversal of state at TIMEI, the bit-counter (FIG. 62) is advanced from a count
of "d" to a count of "a." With reference to FIG. 60, the
state of flipflop 6038 is reversed at TIME-I and thereby
renders the state of line SMC TRUE.
Thus, at TIME-I foHowing the fourth forty-microsecond control period, a fourth sequence of four read-write
cycles is initiated, so that the first-order digit that was
originally stored in address-A, but now is stored in the
"I" digit·register, is stored in the second-order digital
position of address-A. Consequently, it is seen that the
digit originally stored in the first-order digital position of
address-A is now shifted to the second-order digital position therein, and a "0" is stored in the first-order digital
position of address-A.
After completion of the fourth sequence of read-write
cycles, the count of the bit-counter is advanced to "d."
Therefore, at the following TIME-4, the state of flipflop
6039 (FIG. 61) is reversed, so that output line CFF is
thereby rendered FALSE. At the following TIME-I
after the state of line OFF is rendered FALSE, the state
of flipflop 6038 (FIG. 60) is reversed, so that the state
of output line SMC is thereby rendered FALSE to prevent further read-write cycles from being initiated during
the following forty-microsecond control period.
The state of line DDF (FIG. 61) is rendered TRUE
from TIME-3 to TIME-4 during the following control
period and effects advancement of the digit-counter (FIG.
63), via line AD, from a count of "I" to a count of "2."
Thereafter, the "J" digit-register (FIG. 71) is preset to
"0," and the third-order digit of the word in address-A
is stored therein.
The just-described sequence of events is sequentially
repeated until each of the digits of the word stored in
address-A has been shifted to the next higher-order digital
position therein, hereinafter known as "shifting to the
left." After ea:ch of the digits of the word in address-A
has been shifted to the next higher-order di'gital position
therein, the digit-counter is, at that time, at a count of
"9," the bit-counter is at a count of "d," and the states
of lines SHA and SHB are FALSE, thus indicating the
end of the shift cycle. Therefore, at TIME-I of the
following forty-microsecond control period, the state of
flipflop 6040 (FIG. 61) is reversed, so that output line
PC is thereby rendered TRUE. Consequently, the state
of line AN is rendered TRUE at the following TIME-4
and remains TRUE for a period of ten microseconds,
after which period line AN is rendered FALSE. When
line AN experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state,
the state of flipflop 6101 (FIG. 78) is reversed, so that
the state of line SA is thereby rendered FALSE, thus

If, however, the word in address-A [s to be shifted to
the right instead of to the left, a detailed description of
the mode of operation of the subcommand capable of
initiating the required sequence of events is obtained simply by modifying the previous "shifting left" description
by substituting Bd for each occurrence of Ba, Be for
each occurrence of Bb, Bb for each occurrence of Be,
Ba for each occurrence of Bd, D9 for each occurrence of
D, DB for each occurrence of Dl, Dl for each occurrence of D8, and D for each occurrence of D9.
If the word in address-B is to be shifted instead of the
word in address-A-i.e., via a "SB" subcommand-the
preceding descriptions are to be modified by substituting
SB for SA, IB for I A, BI for AI, KB for KA, and BK
for AK.
69. In8tructions Generally
As preY'iously described, there are eighteen basic instructions ,to which the computer is responsive. Five of
these basic instructions concern the ledger card sensing
equipment and -the accounting machine portion of the
computer; one is concerned with the reading of punched
paper tape; and twelve are concerned with arithmetic and
control functions within the computer.
The first step to be carried out in the cxeoution of each
instruction is the reading-out from memory of the next
instruction word in the program and storage of the instruction word in the 'instruction register. After the

the particular type of instruction, or sequence of opera50 tions, to be executed next. For example, if the two-digit
decimal number in section 1 of the instruction register
is "00," an "enter-keyboard-words" instruction is ex)ecuted, whereby all data thereafter transferred between
data-handling sections of the computer is in accordance
55 with a .particular sequence pattern dictated by this particular instruction.
The execution of each instruction condudes by effecting the storage in the word-selecting register of the address in memory of the next regular instruction word, the
60 address in memory of the next regular iinstruction word
being specified by the contents of section 5 of the present
instruction word.
After the address of the next instruction word is properly stored in the word-selecting register, the computer
65 may immediately carry out ilhe dictates of the next instpuction word read from memory, or may pause for
a period of time before executing the next instruction.
Whether or not the computer immediately proceeds to
carry out ,the next instruction in ,the program depends
70 upon the partioular mode of operation pre-selected by the
operator. If the computer is operating in an "automatic"
mode, the next instruction in the program is immediately
carried out upon completion of the preceding instruction.
However, if the computer is operating in a "manual"
7;; mode, all computation stops upon compietition of the

3,112,394

149
execution of each instruction and is not resumed until
either the manual or the automatic "mode-selection" push
button is depressed. Upon depression of one of the
mode-selection push buttons, the sequence of events is
as follows: The next instruction word specified by the
contents of the word-selection register is read out from
memory and stored in the instruction register; the two
decimal digits thus stored in section 1 of the instruction
register are examined to determine the particular instruction to be carried out; and, thereafter, the computer
proceeds to carry out the dictates of that particular
instruction.
As previously mentioned, for the purpose of convenience in describing in detail the inherently complex mode
of operation which the computer executes in carrying out
a particular instruction, each of the eighteen different instructions is considered a "subprogram" comprising a
plurality of "sub instructions" which are sequentially given
to the computer, the sequence of events initiated by the
computer in carrying out each of the sub instructions being
under the control of the control-counter. Again, as previously mentioned, each of the just-mentioned subinstructions is classified in one of six gcneral categories, labeled
"word-cycles," "subcommands," "variable-time-delays,"
"decisions," "incrementing and decrementing," and "miscellaneous," of which the more complex ones of the various subinstructions have previously been described in detail, and all of which are each related to a specific portion
of the computer control circuitry even though such specific portion does not always exist as a separate and distinct entity as such.

150
pared for equality to determine whether there are additional words to be entered into memory from the keyboard or totalizers of the accounting machine. If there
is an additional entry to be made, section 3 of the instruction register is incremented, and the just-described se/)
quence of events is again repeated. If, however, there are
no additional entries to be made, the sequence of events
initiated by the EKW instruction is thus terminated.
Listed below in somewhat tabular form, and also graphi10 cally illustrated by the flow diagram of FIG. l07A, is a
step-by-step description of the various previously described subinstructions to which the computer is sequentially responsive in executing an "EKW" instruction:

70. Detailed Description of EKW Instructions
The first subprogram to be described in detail is concerned with the execution of an EKW instruction which
effects the storage in memory of amounts entered into the
accounting machine keyboard or taken from a preselected
one or ones of the totalizers therein. An EKW instruction may be considered as comprising four distinct phases
or groups of subinstructions, during the first phase of
which all computation and data-handling activity within
the computer ceases until an amount is indexed into the
keyboard of the accounting machine portion thereof, or
until the machine carriage is tabulated to the next stop;
however, if an "automatic-resume-program" has previously been specified, all activity ceases only llntil the carriage
reaches a stop. The second phase of the subprogram is
concerned with initiating a cycle of operation of the accounting machine; consequently, the high-order digit in
section 2 of the instruction register is examined to determine the required cycle of operation of the accounting
machine to be initiated. Thereafter, the required machine cycle is automatically initiated by proper actuation
of the required motor bar when the resume-program-bar
is subsequently depressed by the operator. Upon completion of the machine cycle, the differentially-set positions of the amount racks collectively represent the
amount to be stored in memory, as previously described.
The third phase of the subprogram is, therefore, concerned with examining the printed circuit switch on the
rear of the machine to determine the amount just entered
into the keyboard, and subsequent storage of the amount
in address-A. If reverse key REV (FIGS. 2 and 44A)
has previously been depressed, indicative of a negative
amount being entered into the accounting machine keyboard, the word initially stored in address-A is complemented before being subsequently stored in the selected
address in memory. However, if reverse key REV is not
depressed, the word initially stored in address-A is complemented before being subsequently stored in the selected
address in memory. However, if reverse key REV is not
depressed, the word initially stored in address-A is subsequently transferred to the selected address in memory.
During the last phase of the subprogram, the contents
of sections 3 and 4 of the instruction register are com-

Before proceeding with a detailed description of the
mode of operation initiated by each of the eighteen basic
instructions-i.e., "enter-keyboard-words" (EKW-OO)
through "enter-punched-tape" (EPT-17)-it is to be
noted that, in an effort to avoid in the following description an undue multiplicity of back-and-forth references
with respect to the various figures of the drawings, the
particular portions of the computer circuitry utilized in
carrying out a particular instruction have essentially been
taken from FIGS. 52A through 85 and re-assembled into
a composite circuit diagram relating to that particular instruction. For example, certain significant particular portions of the computer circuitry utilized in executing an
EKW instruction are combined and logically illustrated
in FIGS. 89A and 89B as a composite circuit diagram.
As previously described, the first subinstruction initiated and carried out in the execution of each instruction
is a "MI" word-cycle, which effects the transfer to the
instruction register of the word in memory previously
stored at the address indicated by the contents of the
word-selecting register. Also, as previously described, a
"MI" word-cycle is initiated each time the state of line
MI is rendered TRUE. As shown in FIG. 76, if the computer is operating in an "automatic" mode, as indicated
by a TRUE state of line AUT, a "MI" word-cycle is automatically initiated by a reversal of state of flipflop 6092
when the state of line AN is rendered FALSE, line AN
being rendered FALSE when the previously-initiated cycle
of operation is completed. However, if the computer is
operating in a "manual" mode, a "MI" word-cycle is initiated only by a depression of push-button MNI-MN2
(FIGS. 1 and 84), which also causes a reversal of state
of flipflop 6092 (FIG. 76). After the next instruction
word is transferred to the instruction register via the "MI"
word-cycle, if the two decimal digits stored in section 1
thereof correspond to the code designation for an "enterkeyboard-words" instruction-i.e., "OO"-the state of line
EKW is rendered TRUE in a manner previously described with respect to FIG. 56, and, consequently, an
"enter-keyboard-words" instruction is thereafter executed
in the following manner.
It is, however, assumed that when the "enter-keyboardwords" instruction is first initiated: the able arm portion
( 497) of the accounting machine is in the non-deflected
position shown in FIG. 38, and, consequently, the contacts of switch 496 are closed, thus indicating that motor
bars 23, 27, and 28 are not disabled by able arm 497; that
the carriage of the accounting machine is not tabulating
over a carriage stop, as indicated by a closure of the contacts of switch 510 (FIGS. 43 and 82); that the accounting machine is in home position, ready for a cycle of
operation thereof to be initiated, as indicated by a closure
of the contacts of switch 528 (FIGS. 41 and 82); and that
a paper-tape-punching operation is not to be initiated, as
indicated by a closure of contacts SC41-3 (FIG. 82) of
switch SC41 (FIG. 13). The just-mentioned assumptions having been satisfied, the state of line GO (FIG. 82)
is rendered TRUE, thus indicating that a cycle of operation of the accounting machine is now permitted to be
initiated.
With reference now to FIG. 61, the state of line AN
is reversed from TRUE to FALSE at TIM£....I, indicating completion of the previously-initiated "MI" wordcycle, as previously described. With reference now to
FIG. 72, when line AN is thus rendered FALSE, the
state of lines MIN and PF", are likewise reversed from
TRUE .to FALSE. As previously described with reference to FIG. 72, when the state of line PF", is reversed
from TRUE to FALSE, the F-counter is thereby preset
to a count of "0." With reference to FIG. 89A, as a
result of line MIN thus being rendered FALSE, the state
of flipflop 6089 is reversed, so that line KEY is rendered
TRUE thereby.
As all of the inputs to logical AND 1743 are simultaneously TRUE when line KEY is thus rendered TRUE,

the state of line EKL is thereby rendered TRUE and thus
effects illumination of the enter-keyboard-words lamp
EK (see also FIG. 2), indicating that the computer is
ready for an amount to be indexed into the keyboard of
the accounting machine portion thereof. Also, prior to
line EKL being rendered TRUE, the state of one of
lines L, Lt, or L2 is previously rendered TRUE. depending upon whether the low-order digit ,in section 2
of the instruction register (FIG. 57) is a "0," a "I," or a
"2," respectively. Therefore, if the low-order digit is a
"0," decimal-point lamp P", (see also FIG. 2), located
between amount rows #2 and #3 on the accounting machine keyboard, is illuminated when line EKL is rendered TRUE; if the low-order digit is a "1," decimal-point
lamp PI between amount rows #5 and #6 is iHuminated;
and, if the low-order digit is a "2," decimal-point lamp P2
between amount rows #8 and #9 is illuminated. As
will later be seen, a decimal-point and enter-keyboardwords lamps both remain illuminated until the resumeprogram-bar RPB (FIG. 2) is depressed.
With reference to FIG. 38, when the resume-programbar push button is depressed, the common plunger of
switches RPI and RP2 is actuated thereby. As shown in
FIG. 84, when ,the resume-program-bar is depressed, the
normally-opened switch contacts RP2 are closed, and
normally-closed switch contacts RPI are opened thereby.
Consequently, at the following TIME-I after the resumeprogram-bar is depressed, the state of flipflop 6138 is
reversed, so that output line RP is thereby rendered
TRUE. At TIME-l following the release of the resume-program-bar, the state of flipflop 6138 is again
reversed, so that line RP is rendered FALSE thereby.
As shown in FIG. 78, as a result of line RP experiencing
a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, the state of flipflop
6099 is reversed, and line RPB is rendered TRUE thereby.
With reference back to FIG. 89A, at TIME-3 after
line RPB is thus rendered TRUE, the reference input to
flipflop 6118 reverses from TRUE to FALSE, and, consequently, the state of flipflop 6U8 is reversed and line
WOA is thereby rendered TRUE. It is to be noted that,
if the low-order digit in section 2 of the instruction
register (FIG. 57) is a "3," as indicated by line L3 being
TRUE, indicating an automatic-resume-program operation, neither of the decimal-point !lamps is illuminated,
but, instead, the state of flipflop ()l18 is reversed at
TIME--3 even though the resume-program-bar was not
manually depressed. However, after the state of line
WOA is rendered TRUE, upper motor bar solenoid MB
is energized if the high-order digit in section 2 of the instruction register is either a "0" or a "l"(see also FIG.
38); middle motor bar solenoid MBI is energized if the
high-order digit in section 2 is either a "2" or a "3"; and
lower motor bar solenoid MB2 is energized if ,the highorder digit is either a "4" or a "5." It is to be appreciated,
however, that the selected motor bar solenoid is energized
when line WOA is rendered TRUE, regardless of whether
the high-order digit in section 2 of the instruction register
is anyone of the digits "0" through "5."
After ,the selected one of the upper, middle, or lower
motor bars is automatically actuated, a cycle of operation of the accounting machine is thus initiated thereby.
With reference to FIG. 72, when a -machine cycle is
initiated, the movable arm of switch 540 is deflected to
the left, as viewed, so that line (NT)' is rendered TRUE
thereby, line NT, of course, being rendered FALSE.
However, if for some reason a machine cycle is not
initiated when a selected one of the motor bars is energized, line NT remains TRUE. With reference now
to FIG. 81, when the state of flipflop lt1l8 is reversed,
so that line (WOA)' is rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6120 is reversed, so that line (RF)' is rendered
FALSE thereby. Approximately 250 milliseconds later,
however, the state of flipflop 6120 reverts back to its
initial condition, so that line (RF)' is rendered TRUE
thereby. Therefore, if it is assumed that a machine cycle

was not initiated when line WOA was initially rendered
TRUE, as evidenced by line NT remaining TRUE, the
state of flipflop 6118 is reversed at the following TIME-l
by line AN after line (RF)' is rendered TRUE, thereby
de-energizing the previously-energized motor bar solenoid.
However, at the following TIME-3 after the motor bar
is physically restored to its normal undeflected position,
so that line GO is again rendered TRUE, the state of
flipflop 6118 is again reversed, so that line WOA is
again rendered TRUE, ,thereby re-energizing the preselected motor bar solenoid. If a machine cycle is still
not initiated when line WOA is rendered TRUE for
the second time, the above sequence of events is continually repeated until a machine cycle is finally initiated.
As previously described with respect to FIGS. 7 and
51g, photocell 160 is utilized in conjunction with auxiliary
timing rack 151 and light source 164 to provide an electrical impulse each time the auxiliary rack, and hence
the amount racks, are translated from one digital position to another whHe traveling in a "setting" direction toward the rear of the machine. With additional reference
to FIG. 72, each time a slot on timing rack 151 passes
between light source 164 and photocell 160, the state
of the prime input to flipflop 6071 is reversed from
TRUE to FALSE; consequently, the state of flipflop 6071
is reversed, so that line PT is rendered TRUE and line
(PT)' is simultaneously rendered FALSE. However,
when the tooth portion of timing rack 151 passes between light source 164 and photocell 160, the state of
flipflop 6071 is again reversed, so that line PT is thereby
rendered FALSE and line (PT), is simultaneously
rendered TRUE. As output lines PT and (PT)' of flipflop 6071 are logically connected as input lines to the
reference and prime inputs, respectively, of flipflop 6072,
the state of flipflop 6072. is reversed, so that output line
PCT is rendered TRUE at times corresponding to each
digital position of the timing rack, and is rendered
FALSE during each period of time the timing rack is
being translated from one digital position to another.
With reference back to FIG. 89B, each time line PCT
experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, line
AF likewise experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of
state. As a result, the F-counter (FIG. 72) is incremented by a count of "1" each time the timing rack is
translated from one digital position to another. As shown
in FIG. 89A, upper motor bar solenoid MB<,I>, if initially
energized, is de-energized when the 'F-counter is advanced
from a count of "0" to a count of "I" unless the highorder digit in section 2 of the instruction register is a
"1"; middle motor bar solenoid MB1, if initially energized, is de-energized when the F-counter is advanced
from a count of "0" to a count of "1" unless the highorder digit in section 2 of the instruction register i; a
"3"; and lower motor bar solenoid MB2, if initially energized, is de-energized when the F-counter is advanced
from a count of "0" to a count of "1" unless the highorder digit in section 2 of the instruction register is a "5."
It is evident, therefore, that either a touch operation or
a hold operation of a par,ticular motor bar is obtained
simply by maintaining the corresponding motor bar solenoid energized for a predetermined period of time. However, wh~n line WOA is subsequently rendered FALSE,
any prevIously-energized motor bar solenoid is de-energized thereby. When the F-counter reaches a count of
"8," as indicated by line F8 being TRUE, order-hook
solenoid OHl (see also FIG. 35) is energized jf the loworder digit in section 2 of the instruction register is a
"1," whereas order-hook solenoid OH2 is energized jf tbe
low-order digit in section 2 is a "2." As previously described with respect to FIG. 35, when order-hook solenoid
OHl is energized, all order-hooks from the third to and
including the eighth one are unlatched from their respective type sectors. However, when order-hook solenoid
OID is energized, all order-hooks from the third to and
including the eleventh one are unlatched from their re-

spective type sectors. Also, as previously described, the
eighth and the eleventh ones of type sectors 67 (FIG. 34)
respectively print the sixth and ninth order degits of the
amount indexed in the accounting machine keyboard, with
each digit being followed by a comma.
When the timing rack leaves digital position #8, the
state of F-counter line F8 (FIG. 89A) is rendered FALSE
and thereby causes a reversal of state of flipflop 6089,
which, in turn renders line KEY FALSE. Due to the
fact that timing rack 151 is provided with only eight slots,
as shown in FIG. 8, additional means are utilized to increment the F-counter from a count of "8" to a count of
"9" when the timing rack has essentially reached digital
position #9. As previously described with respect to
FIGS. 3A and 41, when aligner bar 72 is brought into
engagement with the notches formed on the lowermost
end of arm 58 to precisely align all of the type sectors 67
in their differentially-set positions just prior to the printing operation, the contacts of switch 550 are closed as a
result of clockwise rotational movement of follower arm
519. Consequently, with reference back to FIG. 72, when
the timing ~ack is translated to its #9 digital position, so
that the prmting-aligner bar is brought into engagement
with the type sectors, a closure of the contacts of switch
SS~ cau~es a subsequent reversal of state of flipflop 6071,
whlch, m turn, causes the F-counter to be incremented
from a count of "8" to a count of "9" in essentially the
same manner as just described.
With reference back to FIG. 89A when the F-counter
is advanced from a count of "8," as'indicated by line F8
being rendered FALSE, any previously-energized orderhe ok solenoid is de-energized thereby. At TIME-l after
the F-counter has been incremented to a count of "9," the
~tate of flipflop 6118 is again reversed, so that line WOA
IS rendered FALSE thereby.
When line WOA is thus
rendered FALSE, any previously-energized motor bar
solenoid is de-energized thereby. With reference now to
FIG. 89B, also when line WOA is thus rendered FALSE
the state of flipflop 6086 is reversed, so that line CA i~
rendered TRUE thereby. As a result of line CA ·thus
being rendered TRUE, a "CA" word-cycle is initiated and
thereafter executed, whereby the word collectively indicated by the conditions of the rack-readout switches is
read out and stored in address-A in the following manner
!he,-?,ord indicated by the rack-~eadout switches bein~
Id~ntIcal to the mount Just entered mto the accounting machme keyboard, as previously described with respect to
FIGS. 3B, SA, and 5B.
As diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 67B, digitcounter output lines Dr/> through D9 are individually connected to a different one of conductors 119 disposed on
printed circuit board 116. Thus, suppose that the firstorder amount rack is differentially set in digital position
#5 corresponding to depression of amount key #5 in the
low-order aI??unt row of the ~achine keyboard; i.e., the
fir~~-~:der dIgIt of the amount mdexed. in the keyboard is

quently !nitiated, so that the first-order amount rack is
stopped m the ,#5 digital position, Ih-le D<,I> is electrically
connected to lme 120e by way of printed circuit conductors 118 and 119 due to the action of wiper blades
113-114, as previously described with respect to FIGS.
3A, SA, and SB. T~us it is evident that, when the digit~ounter (FIG. 63) IS at a count of "0," so that line D<,I>
IS TRUE, and the bit-counter (FIG. 62) is simultaneously
at a count of "a," so that line Ba is true, the state of output line RSS is TRUE, indicating that the low-order bit
of the first-order digit is a binary "1." When the bitcounter advances to a count of "b," line RSS is rendered
FALSE, thus indicating that bit "b" is a binary "0"· when
the bit-counter advances to a count of "e," line
is
;.e~dered TRUE, thus .indicating that bit "e" is a binary
1 ; and, when the bIt-counter advances to a count of
"d," line RSS is rendered FALSE, thus indicating that bit
"d" of the first-order digit is a binary "0." Therefore,

RSS

3,112,394

156

155
as bits "a" and "e" of the digit each have a value of binary
"I," and as bits "b" and "d" each have a value of binary
"0," the differentially"set position of the first-order amount
rack corresponds to binary OlOl-Le., decimal "5"which, in turn, corresponds to the assumed value of the
first-order digit of the amount indexed in the accollnting
machine keyboard.
Therefore, it is evident that the bit and digit counters
effectively operate together as a serializer which, in a
sense, "scans" the differentiaLly-set positions of the ten
amount racks, starting with the first-order amollnt rack
and ending with the tenth-order amount rack, and essentially generates a train of impulses via line RSS, whith
impulse train corresponds to the value of the amount entered into ,the accounting machine keyboard, the first
impulse, or lack of an impulse, corresponding to the
binary value of bit "a" of the first-order digit, and the
last impulse, or lack of an impulse, corresponding to the
binary value of bit "d" of the tenth-order digit of the
amount.
With reference back to FIG. 89B, lines RSS, CA, and
EKW are each connected as an input to logical AND
1137. Consequently, as a result of line CA being rendered TRUE, a "CA(2)" word-cycle is executed, whereby
the amount indexed in the accOllnting machine keyboard
is sequentially stored in address-A via ,line MXW in essentially the same manner as previously described with
respect to FIGS. 60, 52A, and 52B. After the word
is stored in address-A, line AN is rendered FALSE, and,
consequently, the state of flipflop 6080 is reversed, so
that line CA is rendered FALSE, thus terminating the
"CA" word-cycle operation.
As previously described with respect to FIGS. 2 and
44A, when reverse key "REV" is manually depressed,
indicating that the amount just indexed in the keyboard
of the accounting machine is a negative number, the movable arm ofswiteh 572 is actuated thereby. With reference to FIG. 74, when the reverse key is depressed, the
movable mm of switch 572 is deflected upwardly from
the position shown, so that the state of line REV is
rendered TRUE therebY, Therefore, as depression of the
reverse key signifies that the algebraic sign of the word
just stored in address-A is negative, and, as a negative
word is stored in memory as its complement, the word
just stored in address-A must be complemented before
being stored in the selected address in memory. Thus,
with reference to FIG. 89B, when line CA is thus rendered
FALSE at the end of the previously-initiated "CA(2)"
word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6083 is reversed, so that
line CPA is rendered TRUE thereby. When liue CPA
is thus rendered TRUE, a "CPA" subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the word in address-A is complemental and its complement is stored back in address-A
in exactly the same manner as previously described.
When the previously-initiated "CPA" subcommand is
terminated, so that line CPA is rendered FALSE, the
state of flipflop 6077 is reversed, so that line AM is thereby rendered TRUE. When line AM is rendered TRUE,
line TS3 is likewise rendered TRUE. Therefore, in response to lines AM and TS3 simultaneously being rendered TRUE, an "AM" word-cycle is ,thereafter executed,
whereby the word stored in address-A is stored in the
selected address in memory as specified by the contents
of section 3 of the instmction register. It is to be noted
that, had the reverse key not been depressed, the word in
address-A is immediately stored in memory without being
complemented when line CA is rendered FALSE. This
is due to the fact that the state of flipflop 6U77 is reversed
when line CA is rendered FALSE, because line (REV)'
is TRUE, in this instance, indicative of non-depression
of the reverse key.
After the word in address-A is stored in the selected
address ,in memory specified by section 3 of the instruction register, the state of flipflop 6077 i~ reversed when
line AN is rendered FALSE, indicating thnt the previolls-

Iy-initiated "Al'vI" word-cycle is completed; consequently,
the states of lines AM and TS3 are both rendered FALSE.
As previously described with respect to FIG. 59, if the
contents of sections 3 and 4 of the instruction register
are of equal magnitUde, indicating that there are no other
words to be indexed into the accounting machine keyboard, line 134 is rendered FALSE, and line (134)' is
simultaneously rendered TRUE. However, if sections 3
and 4 are of unequal magnitude, indicating that there
are additional words to be indexed into the keyboard,
line 134 is rendered TRUE, and line (134)' is simultaneously rendered FALSE.
Thus, with reference back to FIG. 89B, if there are
no other words to be indexed into the keyboard, the state
of flipflop 6107 is reversed when line AM is rendered
FALSE and line STD is rendered TRUE thereby. When
line STD is thus rendered TRUE, line TS5 is likewise
rendered TRUE. In response to lines SID and TS5 being rendered TRUE, a "SID" subinstruction is executed,
whereby the contents of seotion 5 of the instruction register is stored in the word-selecting register.
However, if there are additional words to be indexed
into the accounting machine keyboard, line IN4 is rendered FALSE when line AN is rendered FALSE, and,
as a result, section 3 of the instruction register (FIG. 58)
is incremented by a count of "1" in the same manner as
previollsly described. If, before being incremented, the
contents of section 3 of the instruction register is not
equal to the contents of section 4 thereof, the state of
flipflop 6(189 (FIG. 89A) is reversed when line AM is
rendered FALSE at the end of the previously-initiated
"Al\i" word-cylc1e. As a result, line KEY is again rendered TRUE, and the F-counter (FIG. 72) is again
preset to "0" via line PF¢. Prior to a subsequently-initiated machine cycle when line GO is rendered TRUE,
enter ..keyboard-words lamp EK is illuminated, thus providing a visual indication that another amount is to be
indexed in the keyboard; thereafter, the just-described
sequence of events is again repeated.
It is ,to be noted that, even though line STD is rendered
TRUE upon termination of the EKW subprogram, section 3 of the instruction register is incremented via line
IN4 when line AM is rendered FALSE, regardless of
the result of the comparison between ,the contents of
sections 3 and 4 of the instruction register. It is also to
be noted that, if it is desired that a plurality of words
be stored in sequentially-numbered addresses in memory
during the execution of a single EKW subprogram, the
same motor bar, decimal-point lamp, and order-hook so!elloid are utiiized for each word entered. However, if a
different motor bar, decimal-point lamp, or order-hook
solenoid is desired to be utilized, a second EKW subprogram is initiated by a second EKW instruction word
which specifies the desired combination thereof.

71. Detailed Description of POW Instructions

7G

The next subprogram to be described in detail is concerned with the execution of a single POW instruction
which effects the sequential printing-out of from one to
one hundred words which were previously stored in
sequentially numbered addresses in memory. Like the
just-described EKW instruction, a POW instruction may
also be considered as comprising four distinct phases or
groups of subinstructions.
During the first phase, the computer, in a sense, ascertains whether or not depression of a motor bar is capable of initiating a cycle of operation of the accounting
machine. As previously described, prior to the machine
cycle, each of the ten amount racks is physically located
at "home" position, which position corresponds to a digital value of "0." Thus, the selected word in memory is
read out and examined digit by digit, starting with the
low-order digit thereof, to determine those digits of the
word having a value of "0." Simultaneously therewith,

3,112,394

158

157
the rack-stopping solenoids corresponding to the digital
positions of those digits of the word having a value of
"0" are energized to prevent any movement of the associated amount racks when a machine cycle is subsequently
initiated. Thereafter, the state of a particular sign memory flipflop is selectively conditioned to correspond to the
algebraic sign of the word to be printed out. If the
algebraic sign of the word to be printed out is negative,
credit balance key CR. BAL. (FIG. 2) is effectively
depressed via selective energization of credit balance solenoid CBS, as previously described with respect to FIG.
37 and also as shown in FIG. 81.
When a machine cycle is subsequently initiated in
order to carry out the fIrst half of a credit balance operation, the word read out from memory is subtracted from
the contents of the "X" totalizer, which normally stores
a word of all zeros. When the second machine cycle is
subsequently initiated in order to carry out the fInal half
of a credit balance operation, a total operation is taken
with respect to the "X" totalizer, so that the complement
of the word just read out from memory is printed in
red, with a "CR" symbol to the right thereof.
Due to the fact that the differentially-set positions of
the ten amount racks are determined solely by the computer during the execution of a POW instruction, rather
than by a totalizer or by depressed keys on the accounting machine keyboard, it is therefore necessary to automatically release the amount racks and all previously
depressed amount keys when a total operation is called
for during the execution of a POW instruction. Thus, in
order to permit the automatic release of the amount racks
and the keys prior to the initiation of a total-taking operation, rack release solenoid RRS (FIGS. 39 and 81) is
selectively energized.
During the second phase of the subprogram, the particular motor bar operation specified by the value of the
low-order digit in section 2 of the instruction is executed
in order to initiate the required machine cycle.
The third phase of the POW instruction begins when
the machine starts to cycle, so that the timing rack and
all non-stopped amount racks simultaneously begin their
travel in a "setting" direction toward the rear of the machine, those amount racks corresponding to the digital
positions of the digits of the word having a value of "0"
remaining in home position. Each time the timing rack
is translated from a position indicative of one digital
value to a position indicative of the next higher successively higher-order digital value after leaving home position, each of the digits of the word is essentially "examined" to determine whether its digital value corresponds to the digital value represented by the instantaneous position of the amount racks. If such correspondence exists, all corresponding digital-order rack-stopping
solenoids are simultaneously energized and thereby arrest
further movement of all corersponding amount racks.
After all of the amount racks have been differentially
positioned to correspond to the word just read out from
memory, a normal printing operation takes place.
During the final phase of a POW instruction, the contents of sections 3 and 4 of the instruction register are
compared for equality to determine whether or not there
are additional words to be printed out from memory.
If there are additional words to be printed out, section 3
of the instruction register is incremented, and the entire
sequence of events, just described, is again repeated.
Otherwise, the instruction is concluded by effecting the
copying into the word-selecting register the address of
the next instruction word, which is located in section 5
of the instruction register.
Listed below in somewhat tabular form, and also graphically illustrated by the flow diagram of FIG. 107B, is a
step-by-step description of the various previously de-

scribed subinstructions to which the computer is sequentially responsive in executing a "POW" instruction:

Upon completion of the execution of the previously initiated "MI" word-cycle, during whioh time the next instruction word is read out from memory and stored in the
instruction register, if the two-decimal-digit number
stored in section 1 thereof corresponds to the code des- j5

ignation for a POW instruction-i.e" "01 "-the state of
line POW is rendered TRUE in a manner previously
described with respect to FIG, 56, and, consequently, a
"print-out-words" instruction is thereafter executed in the
following manner:
With reference to FIGS. 90A through 90C, there is
logically illustrated therein a composite circuit diagram
of particular portions of the computer circuitry utilized
in executing a POW instruction. As shown in FIG,
90A, at TIME--l after the initiation of a "MI" wordcycle, the states of f1ipflops 6095 and 6096 are simultaneously reversed, if not already in reversal states, so that
lines (OBM)' and (OBN)' are respectively rendered
TRUE thereby. As shown in FIG. 90B, the state of line
HF¢ is rendered FALSE upon completion of the previously-initiated "MI" word-cycle when the state of line
AN is rendered FALSE; consequently, the F-counter
(FIG. 72) is preset to "0."
It is assumed that, upon initiation of the POW instruction,able arm 497 (FIG. 38) of the accounting machine
is in the non-deflected position, as shown, and, consequently, the contacts of switch 496 (FIGS_ 38 and 82)
are closed, thus indicating that the motor bars are not
disabled; that the carriage of the accounting machine is
not tabulating over a carriage stop as indicated by a
closure of the contacts of switch 516 (FIGS, 43 and 82);
that the machine is in home position, so that the contacts
of switch 528 (FIGS. 41 and 82) are closed; and that
a papcr-tape-punching operation is not to be initiated as
indicated by a closure of contacts SC41-3 (FIG_ 82)
of switch SC41 (FIG. 13). The just-mentioned conditions having been satisfied, the state of line GO (FIG.
82) is rendered TRUE, indicating that a cycle of operation of the accounting machine is permited to be initiated.
Thus, with reference back to FIG. 90A, all of the inputs to logical AND 1408 are simultaneously TRUE
just prior to tbe completion of the previously-initiated
"MI" word-cycle. Consequently, when line AN is rendered FALSE upon completion of the previously-initiated
"Ml" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6066 is reversed, so
that line MJ is thereby rendered TRUE. With reference
to FJG. 90B, line TS3 is rendered TRUE at the beginning of the instruction when line POW j,s rendered
TRUE. Consequently, in response to lines 1'\1J and TS3
being rendered TRUE, a "1'\11" ,word-cycle is thereafter
executed, whereby the word stored in memory at the
address specified by the contents of section 3 of the instruction register is read out digit by digit, starting with
the low-order digit thereof, and stored digit by digit in
the "I" digit-register (FIG, 71). At TIME--3 after the
initiation of a "MI" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6118
(FIG. 90A) is reversed, so that line WOA is thereby rendered TRUE.
After each of the digits of the word is read out from
memory via a "MJ" word-cycle and sequentially stored
in the "I" digit-register, the contents of the F-counter
and the "I" digit-register are compared for equality in
a manner previously described with respect to FIG. 72,
However, due to the f.act that the F-counter is initially
preset to "0," each digit stored in the "J" digit-register is
essentially examined in order to determine whether its
value is "0," If the digit stored in the "I" digit-register
has a value of "0" when the "compare for equality" is
made with respect to the contents of the IF-counter and
the "I" digit-register, the state of line (IFJ)' is rendered
TR UE; otherwise, the state of line (lFI) , remains
FALSE.
With reference now to FIG. 9OC, after the state of
line WOA is rendered TRUE at the beginning of the
"MJ" word-cycle, line EVG experiences 'a TRUE-toFALSE reversal of state each time the "J" digit-register
is preset to "0" via a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state
of line PI1> if the Ili,git presently stored in the "J" digitregister has a vallie of "0," as indicated by a TRUE state

3,112,394

162

of line (IFJ)'. Consequently, when the digit-counter
is at a count of "1," as indicated by a TRUE state of line
01, the state of flipflop 6108 is reversed, ,so that line
(RA¢)' is rendered FALSE if the value of the first-order
digit of the word just read from memory is zero. When
the digit-counter is subceql!;;;ntly incremented to a count
of "2," line (RAl)' is rendered FALSE by a reversal
of state of flipflop 6HI9 if the value of the second-order
digit of the ,voru is also zero, and so on, until line
(RAS)' is ['endered FALSE by a ,reversal of state of flipflop 6116 if the vulue of [he ninth-order digit of the
word just read out from memory is zero. If the value
of the tenth-order digit is zero, as indicated by a TRUE
state of line (IF])', the state of flipfiop6117 is reversed,
and line (RA9)' is rendered FALSE 'when line AN is
rendered FALSE, indicating completion of the "MJ"
word-cycle.
It is seen, therefore, that the states of selected ones
of lines (RA¢)' through (RA9)', corresponding to the
digital positions of those digits of the word having a
value of zero, are successively rendered FALSE by corresponding reversal of states of fiipfiops 6108 through
6117, respectively. Thus, after the digit-ceunter 're·aches
a count of "9," as indicated by a FALSE state of line
(D9) " the outputs from corresponding ones of logical
ORS 3497 through 3506 are rendered FALSE "",hen line
PCT is subsequently rendered FALSE. Consequently,
tbose ones of rack-stopping solenoids RA¢L through
RA9L corresponding to those digital positions of the
digils of the 'word having a value of zero are simultaneously energized and thereafter prevent, in a manner
previously described, any movement of the associated
amount racks when a machine cycle is subsequently
initiated. In other words, after the first "MJ" word-cycle
is terminated, all amount racks corresponding to the
digital positions of those digits of the word having a
value of zero are locked ,in home position prior to the
initiation of a machine cycle.
As previously stated with respect to FIG. 3A, in initiating an addition or a ,~ubtraction q'cle of operation of
the accounting machine, depression of the amount keys
causes zero stop pawls 46 to be rocked counter-clockwise
and thereby release amollDt racks 49 for rearward movement when a machine cycle is subsequently initiated.
In a total-taking operation, however, no amount keys
are depressed. Thus, additional means are utilized in a
manner previously described with respect to FIGS. 39
and 40. whereby the zero stop pawls are rocked counterclockwise, and, additionally, all accidentally-depressed
amount keys arc released at the beginning of the machine
cycle. Consequently, with reference to FIG. 90B, rackrelease solenoid RRS is energized when the state of line
WOA is rendered TRUE, and thereby allO'.vs the justmentioned additional means to function in the manner
previously described.
"Vi!h reference to pra. 90A, if the lligh-ordcr digit of
the word just read out from memory and stored in the "J"
digit-register is a "9," indic~ting the complement of a negative number, the state of line (19)' is rendcr~d FALSE.
Thus, at TIME-3 during the last hit time period of the
"MJ" word-cycle, when the st:lte of line EG is reversed
from TRUE to FALSE, the st~tc of flip flop 6~95 remains
unchanged, so that line (OBM)' remains TRUE. However, if the al[:ebraic sign of the word just read out from
memory is positive, so thut line (J!:)' is TR UE, the state
of line (OBM)' is rendered FALSE at TH',IE-3 by a
change of stat.! of flipflop 61.1%. Consequently, line
(OBM)', in the bter instc,nce, docs not remain TRUE
for a time period sufficient to allmv credit balance solenoid
CBS (FIG. 9GB) to be re,ponsive thereto. However, if
the :2lgebraic Si;:'H of the word jmt read out from memory
is negative, so that line (OE1\'!)', remains TRUE, credit
balance solenoid CBS is energized for a time period sufficient for norm:!! operation thereof.
As previously describcu with respect to FIG. 37, as a

result of credit balance solenoid CBS being energized,
the amount collectively indicated l~y the differcntiaily-set
positions of the amount racks is subtracted, during the first
machine cycle, from the "X" totalizer, which normally
norcs a word of at! zeros. Durin;:; the second machine
cv)c, a total operation is executed with respect to the
"X" totalizer, so that the complement of the word just
re~;d out from memory is rrinted in red, with n "CR"
symbol disposed to the right thereof.
As shown in FIG. 9GB, when line WOA is rendered
TR.UE ~J tl];: beginning of t;lC "MY' word-cycle, upper
motor bar solenoid l'IiB¢> is ener6ized if the high-order
digit in section 2 of the instruction register is a "0"
or a "1"; middle motor bar solenoid j\,fBl is ellc)rgized
if the high-order digit in section 2 is either a "2" or a "3";
;;nd lower motor bar solenoid MB2 is energized if the
high-order digit is either a "4" or a "5". However, approximately 130 milliseconds after the preselected motor
bar is automatically depressed via energization of the corresponding motor bar solenoid, all amount racKs not
locked in home position are simultaneously translated in
a settiug direction toward the rear of the machine.
As previOllsly described with respect to FIG. 72 and
with respect to the mode of operation of an EKW subprogram, the state of output line peT is rendered TRUE
at each tr:mslational position of the timing rack corn:sponding to a digital value mJd is rendered FALSE during
the time the timing rack is being translated from one
position to a successively hi[:her-order digital value po,ition. Therefore, with reference b~c~ to FIG. 90A, when
the timing and amount racks fir~t begin their translational
movement toward the rear of the m~chine. the ~t:ltc of
line (peT)' is reversed from TRUE to FALSE, and, as
a result, the state of flipflop GOllS is reversed, EO th:\t line
JHR is thereby rendered TRUE. At the following Tll'I'lE1, the state of flip-flop 6088 is again reversed, and line
JHR is thereby rendered FALSE. As shown in FIG. 90B,
e3ch til:1eline JHR experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, the state line AF likc'Nise exp::riences a
TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state. Thus, the F-countcr
(FiG. 72) is incremented by a CGunt of ''1'' e[:c~ time the
racks arc simultaneously translated from one position tLJ
a successively higher-ordcr digital valued position.
With reference to FIG. 9(}A, each (ime the st:)te of line
JHR reverses from TRUE to FALSE, the stale of flipflop
6\)66 is reversed, so that line MJ is thereby rendered
TRUE; consequently, a "1\'11" word-cycle is t!let"eby iniliated 'at the following Tl ME-l afkr each time line PCT
is rendered TRUE while the racks are traveling in a setting direction. As just described, during the execution of
a "MJ" wcrd-eycie, all of the di£;its of the word stored
in memory at the address specified by the contents of section 3 of tbe ir,struction register are sequentially read out,
stored in the ''1'' digit-register, and compared with the
di'gitai COlmt of the F-counter.
Thus, during t';e time the amount racks are being simultaneously translated from home position to their :;:; 1
digital posilions, the state of line JHR is reversed from
Tl-~UE to FALSE, the F-counter is advan,:ed to a cOllnt
of "J ," and simult:mcously ther~with, a "MJ" word-cycle
is initiated. Consequently, each dieit of the word read
out from memory is eff~ctively ex~mined to determine
whether its value is "J." Thereafter, those ones of rack~toppinG solenoids RA¢L throuf:h RA9L (FIG. 4) correspending [0 the digital positions of those digits of the
word haviag a value of "1" are sirrm1tr,neously energi:>:ed
to arrcst movement of and thus differentially position the
corre~pond;l1g amount racks at the :#: I digital valued pOoition, thereof in tbe same m~nner as just described.
The above sequence of events is sequentially repe:lted
Entil all of the ten amollnt racks are differentially set
<1t those rligitd valued positions collectively representative of the word just read from memory. It is to be

HolYever, wiLh refcrer,cc 10 FIG. 90n, when the F-counter
rea~hcs a count of "8," as h:dknted by a T~UE state of
line Fll, order-hook solenoid OB 1 is energized if the low- 5
order digit in section 2 of the instruction register i3 a "1,"
\Vhere3s order-hook solenoid OH2 is energized if the loworder digit in section 2 is a "2." l\S previously described
wilh respect to the EKW subprogram, when order-hook
solenoid OR1 is energized, all order-hooks from the third 10
to and including the eighth ones are unlatched from their
respective type sectors. However, when order-hook solenoid OHZ is energized, all order-hooks from the third to
and including the eleventh ores are unlatched from their
respective type sectors. As previously described with re- Iii
spect to FIGS. 3A, 41, and 72, when printing aligner bars
72 engage the proper tooth of corresponding ones of the
members 53 in order to precisely align each of the type
sectors 67 prior to a printing operation, the contacts of
switch 550 are closed, so that the slate of flipflops 6071 20
and 6;)72 are reversed, so that line (PCT)' is rendered
FALSE thereby.
As a result of line (PCT)' thus being rendered
FALSE, the state of flipflop 6088 (FIG. 90A) is again
reversed, so that line JHR is again rendered TRUE. Thus, 2:;
at the following TU,1E-l when line JHR is rendered
FALSE, line AF (FIG. 90B) experiences a TRUE-toFALSE reversal of state to eifect the advancement of
the F-counter from a count of "8" to a count of "9."
With reference to FIG. 90S, when the F-counter is in- 30
crementcd from a count of "8" to a count of "9," any
previously-energized order-hook solenoid (OHI-OH2)
is de-energized. With reference back to FIG. 90A, when
line AN is rendered FALSE after the F-counter reaches
a count of "9," the state of flipflop 6,118 is reversed,. so 3,;
that line WOA is thereby rendered FALSE. With reference now to FIGS. 90B and 90C, as a result of line
WOA thus being rendered FALSE, all previously-energized motor bar, rack-release, credit-balance, and rackstopping solenoids are de-energized and thus rendered ,,1})
ineffective.
With reference to FIG. 90A, when the F-counter
reaches a count of "9," as indicated by line F9 b~ing
rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 60S0 is reversed,
and line CA is thereby rendered TRUE upon completion 4.3
of the following "MJ" word-cycle, as indicated by line
MJ being rendered FALSE. In response to line CA thus
being rendered TRUE, a "CA" word-cycle is thereafter
executed, whereby the word collectively indicated by the
differentially-set positions of the amount racks is read 50
out, in the manner previously described with respect to ,he
EKW subprogram, and thereafter stored in address-A
via line M),,'W (FIG. 90B). Upon completion of the
previously-initiated "CA" word-cycle, as indicated by
line CA being rendered FALSE, the state of !Iipfiop 611)0 i);"j
(FIG. 90A) is reversed, so that line RSB is thereby
rendered TRUE. In response to line RSB thus being
rendered TRUE, a "RSB" subcommand is thereafter
executed, whereby the word initially read out from the
address in memory as specified by the contents of sec- GO
tion 3 of the instruction register is subtracted digit by
digit from the word just storecl in address-A. If cach
digit of the word just read out from memory is equal in
magnitude to the corresponding cligit of the word stored
in address-A, line ZNO rcmains FALSE, and, as a re- Ii;)
suIt, the stelte of flipflop 60':6 remains unchan,9cd, so
that line (OBN)' remains TRUE. Hov/ever, if a digit
of the word in address-A is not equal to the corresponding digit of the corresponding word in memory, indicating that the vv'Ord just printed out does not correspond to 70
the word just read out from memory, line ZNO experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, thereby
causing the state of flipflop 60,96 to be reversed, so that
line (ORN)' is thereby rendered FALSE, thus indicating
that a printing error has occurred. When the state of 7ij

164
line (OBN)' is thus reversed from TRUE to FALSE,
the state of flipflop 6107 is not revcrsed by logical AND
1716 to indicate completion of the "POW" subpro:;ram,
as is normally the casco
As previously described with respect to FlG. 59, if
the contents of section 3 of the instruction register is
equal to the contents of section 4 thereof, indic3ting that
there are no other words to be rri:1~ed out from memory,
the state of line (I34)' is rendered TRUE. Line (134)"
however, is rendered FALSE if there <:re additional words
to be pric:tcd out.
Therefore, with reference bnek to FIG. 90A, if the
word just printed out is cqual in magnitude to thc word
just read out from memory, as indicated by a TRUE
state of line (OBN)', and if there are no olher words 10
be printed out, as indicflted by a TRUE state of line
(!34)', the st~te of flipflop 6107 is reversed by the output
of logical AND 1716 when line AN experiences a TP..UEto-FALSE reversal of state upon completion of the previously-initiated "RSB" subcommand; consequently, line
STD is thereby rendered TRUE, thus indicating the end
of the POW subprogram. Vlhen line STD is thus rendered
TRUE, line TS5 (FIG. 90B) is likewise rendered TRUE.
Thus, as previously described with resrect to the EKW
subprogram, in response to lines STD and TS5 being
rendered TRUE, a "STD" subinstruction is thereafter
executed, whereby the contents of section 5 of the instruction register is stored in the word-selecting register.
However, if there are fldditional words to be printed
out, line IN.~ (FIG. 90B) is rendered FALSE when line
AN is rendered FALSE upon completion of the previously initiated "RSG" subcommand. Consequently, section 3 of the instruction register is incremenled, and thc
same "PO\V" subprogram is ag~in subsequeGtJy executed
in the same manner as jllst described. It is to be notec1,
however, that, even thmlgh line STD is rendered TRUE,
indicating the end of the "POW" subprogr<:m, ~ectiC'n 3
of the instruction register is, ncvertheiess, incrementcci
via line IN4 regardJess of the result of the comparison
b;:;tween the contents of sections 3 and 4 of the instruction register. It is also to be noted that, if a plurality of
words stored in sequentially-numbered addresses in memory are to be sequentially printed out during the exeeu ..
tion of a single "POW" subprogram, the same motor bar
and order-hook solenoids are utilized for ench word
printed out. However, if a different motor bar or order
hook is desired to be utilized, a second "POW" instruction is to be initiated, which specifies the desired combination thereof.

With reference to FIG. 76, the st~te of flipflop 6692
is reversed upon completion of the previously-initiated
subprogram, due to a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state
of line AN. As previously described, when the state

"tared in memory at the address specified by the con!;:;,,(s of !h-~ word·selecting register is read out and stored
i.1 the i:::strllctiom register. Th'~reafler, if the two-decim«l-di,git number stored in section 1 of the instruction
r;;[;i::;tcr corrc~pondo; to the code designation for a "ROC"
instruction-i.e., "03"-I11e statc of line ROC (FIG. 56)
is rendered TRUE. As a result, a "record-on-card" subp[ogr~~m is tbp[e~.ftcr cxecuted in the following manner:
It is first assu!~ed that, upon initiation of the "ROC"
mcprogram, a ledeer c:ll'd is positioned in (he accounting
!1'~lchine carri~gc, the posting operation on the celrd is
completed, and it is desired to magnetically record linefine! information in addition to the last line of posting on
:11:: magnetic strip thereDf while the card is being ejected
from the machine. With reference to FfG. 81, it is further assumed that the "blc arm of (he aCCOU;lling machine is in the non-dellectcd position, so th:1t the contacts
of switch 496 arc closed, thus indicating that the motor
bars are not disableu; that the carriag·~ of the machine is
not tJbui&tlng over a carriage stop w that the contacts of
s\vitch 510 are closed; th:!t the machine is in home position so that the contacts of switch 528 are closed; and that
a PGPcr-tape-punching operation is not to be initiated, as
indicated by a closure of switch contacts SC41-3_ The
jus',-mentioned assumptions being satisfied, line GO is
rendered TRUE, thus indicating that the accounting machine is ready for a cycle of operation thereof to be
initiated.
As it is aS3umed that the machine carriage is in home
pc-silion, the contacts of switch 579 are closed, so that
line He is rendered TRUE lhereby_ Also, as the carriage
of the machine is now closed, the movable arm of switch
333 is in the position shown, so that the state of line CD)'
is TRUE. In addition, when line ROC is initially rendered TRUE, lir;es REC and i are likewise rendered
TRUE and remain TRUE for substantially the entire
timc duraticn of the execution of the "ROC" subprogram. Consequently, when line i is initially rendered
TRUE, the states of all of the inputs to logical AND
1767 are, for the first time, simultaneously TRUE, and,
as a result, solenoid Yis energized thereby. As previously described with respect to FIG_ 38, whcn solenoid
Y is energized, carriage throat shaft 453 is rotated counter-clockwis~ thereby to effect the tripping of the carriage
throat clutch, not shown, which allows the carriage to
be opened by the power shaft of the machine. During
the carriage-opcning operation, the front feed chute is
tilted forward to the position shown in FIG_ 18, so that
compression rolls 296 are positioned in close proximity
to the card-handling platen 241, with the ledger card disposed therebetween. In addition, after the carriage is
opcned, the movable arm of the switch 333 (FIG_ 82)
is deflected downwardly, as viewed, and thereby renders
li:"!e D TRUE and line (D)' FALSE. When line (D),
is thus rcndered FALSE, solenoid Y is de-energized thereby.
As previously described, when the front feed chute is
in the position shown in FIG. 18 and the compression
rolls 2% are 2.dj3CC11t to, but not latched against, the
cnrd-drive platen 241, the brushes 336 ar;d N are electrically connected together by the commut:ltor bar 342,
as shmvn in FlG. 28B. However, when the paper guide
motor is energized, the cam 301 (FIG. 19) is rotated
counter-clockwise to the position shown, to complete the
latching operation in a manner previously described.
\Vllen the latching operation is completed, so that the
ledger cnrd is secured between the compression rolls 296
and the platen 241, the commutator bar 342 will have
been rotated clockwise to the position shown in FIG.
28/\. As a result, the brushes E and 339 are electrically
connected together by the 'commutator bar 342_
As diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 83, the brushes
336 and 339 function in essentially the same manner as
the movable aEn of a ~ingle"pole double-throw s\1i·itch.

168
TIll'S, prior to tl:e btching operati')n, line E is substantially at 1;rollnd polential, and the polentl:d on line N is
~:llbstantially CCjual to the negative potentia! applied to
brushes 336--339. Therefore, after carriage-opening
;" solenoid Y (FlG. 82) is de-energized by line (D)' being
rendered FALSE and line D simultaneously being rendered J'RUE, paper-guide relay solenoid PGR (FIG. 83)
is energized by gate 1777. Energization of relay solenoid PGR initiates the closure of normally-open contacts
HI PGR-1, PGR-2, and PGR-5, and simultaneously initiates tb opening of normally-closed contacts PGR-3
aad PGR-4. As shown, an oDenine> of contacts
PGR-3 and PGR-4 and a closure 'of cO~ltacts PGR-l
and PGR-2 cz:use a reversal of subsequently-applied
1;;; ·current flow through the armature of paper guide motor
PGfv!, which is of the permanent magnet type, and thereby
cause a rcversnl of subsequent rotation thereof. A closure of contacts PCP'.-5, of course, causes arnlature current to flow lhrollgil paper-guide molor PGivL There~o fore, when the paper guide relay is energized, armature
current is applied to the paper-guide motor, so that its
armature is rotated in a dircction to effect the latching
of the compression rolls 2% against the card-drive platen
241, as illustrateu in FIG. 19.
After the latching operation is completed, so that the
25
commutator 340 is rotated by the paper-guide motor to
(he po:;ilion shown in HG. 18A, Jin~ E (FIG. 83) is
rendered l~~.L-\L.sE (llid 1hcn;by C~ltlS~S the papcr-r;t;ide
motor to be: dc-energized by effecting a de-energization
30 cf paperguide relay PUR, and thus initiating the return of
the relay CO!1tncts thereof to their normal conditions as
shmvn. In addition, with reference to FIG. 17, a'fter
the latching opemtion is completed, the radiant energy
from the light source 373 is reflected from the ledger eard
35 back onto the sensitive areas of photocells PCB and
PCC and thereby energize both. Consequently, with
reference back to FIG. 83, when photocells PCB and
pec me energized, lines 13 and C are respectively rendered TRUE thereby in the manner previou,ly described.
tlf) When line E is rendered FALSE, due to the fact that
the paper guide is now in a latched condition, lines (E)'
and N are, of course, both rendered TRUE.
As shown in FIG. 82, when line (E)' is rendered
TRUE, energization of solenoid X is effected by gate
43 1769. As previously described with respect to FIGS. 16
and .17, energization of solenoid X allows subsequent
rotatlOn of the square shaft 283 and tbereby -allows the
lower compression rolls 288 to be disengaged from the
platen 71. As also previously described with respect to
[;J FIG. 19, when the square shaft 283 is rotated counterclockwise, as viewed, to cause the lower compression
rolls to be disengaged from the accounting machine platen,
the contacts of the switch 545 are operated thereby_
Therefore, with reference back to FIG. 82, after the
[;.) lower compression roll disengagement operation is completed, the movable arm of switch 545 is deflected downvl8rdly, as vicv/cu. and thus causes the ~!ate of line G
to thereafter be TRUE. Simultaneously therewith line
(G)' is rendered FALSE and thereby causes sol~noid
Cil X to be dc-energized_ When line G is thus rendered
1:RUE, card drive motor CDM is caused to be energ"iZed by gate 1770. As a result, the ledger card is driven
toward the rear of the machine and back into the chute
291 by the platen 241, in the manner previously deG;:; scribed with respect to FIGS. 17 through 19_
As previollsly described with respect to that portion of
the preceding description relating to the format of a
"ROC" instruction word, the numeral "0" in the loworder digital position of section 2 thereof causes a " rec70 ord single linc fmd information" operation to subsequently be initiated; the numeral "1" in the low-order
digital position of seclion 2 thereof causes a "record no
lincfind information operation to subsequently be initiated; and the numeral "2" in the low-Ol"der digital por:l ~;iion of section 2 thereof causes a "record multiple line-

3,112,394

170

find information" opemtion to subsequently be initiated.
A~ previously described with respect to FIG. 57, if the
value of the digit stored in the iO'.v-ordcr digital position
of section 2 of the instruction register is a "0," a "1," or a
"2," the slate of one of Jines L¢ through L2 is respectively
rendered TRUE.
"'lith refercnce now to FIG. 85, if it is assumed that
single linefind information i; desired to be recorded, as
indicated by a TRUE state of line 1.1>, lines Ll and L2, of
cou:-se, being FALSE, the reference input to flipflop 6140
is reversed frOl11 TKUE to FALSE when line G is rendered TRUE in the manner just described. Consequently, the state of llipflop 6140 is reversed, so that the upper
end, as vie,ved, of the winding of linefind head 346 is
rendered TRUE. Simultaneously therewith, the output
of gate 18{)O is rendered TRUE, so thut the center tap
of th~ winding of lhe linefind heud 346 is thereby rendered
FALSE. As a result, current is caused to flow between
the center tap and the upper end of the winding of linefind heGd 346 in such a direction as to magnetize the linefind channel portion of the magnetic strip of the ledgcr
card in the opposite direction to the pre-magnetized direction. However, approximately ten to forly milliseconds later, the state of flipflop 6140 reverts back to its
original condition, so that the lower end of the winding
of linefind head 3~6 is nGW rcndered TRUE instead of
its upper end, as before. Consequently, current is caused
to flow between the cei1ter tap and the lower end of the
linefind windin3 in sllch a direction as to magnetize the
remaining portion of the linefind channel in the same
direction as the pre-magnetized direction, thereby simultaneously ewsing all previou:;ly-rccorded line find information.
It is now assumed that multiple line find information is
desired to be recorded, so that line L2 is initially rendered TRUE instead of line L¢. Thus, when the state
of J1ipflop 6140 is iniliaily reversed in the manner just
dc;sc;-ibed, the slate of fiipflop 6141 is likewise reversed
simultaneously therewith. Thus, again, the states of the
upper end and ,center tap of the winding of linefind head
31.6 are rendered TRUE and FALSE, respectively, as
before described. Consequently, the linefind channel is,
aguin, first magnetized in the opposite pre-magnetized
dircction by the first reversal of state of tlipflop 6140 and,
thereafier, is magnetized in the same direction as the pren1ag,teti-:;:~J Ji~'c:.:.tion by a s~cond revc:5·~ ..il of st~He of
flipl10p Ii 1 ,H) , as before dcscfib·cd. However, approximately sixty milliseconds after the state of flipflop 6141
is initially reversed, its state reverts back to its initial
condition, so that the state of (he center tap of linefind
head 346 is rendered TRUE thereby, thus essentially deenergizing the line-find head and thereby preventing further erasure of previously-recorcleu line find information,
all of which is diagrammatically iilustrated in FIG. 88B.
It is to be noted that, if it is desired for no line find information to be recorded in the linefind channel, as indicated by a TRUE state of line Ll, the linefind head is
prcvcnted from being energized due to the fact that lhe
state of line (Lit)' is t~us FALSE and thereby prevents
tile output of logical AND 1798 from subs"~quently being
rendered TRUE.
With referen:e (0 FIG. 17, 'Nhen th~ ledGer card has
been driven to the full extent into chute 291, the reversal
spot located at the top margin of the ledger card, indicated as 376 in FIG. 88A, passes over the junction of
the leg members 371 and 372. Consequently, the radiant
energy from light source 373 is absorbed by the dark
area thereof to the extent that photocdl PCB is thus deenergized. With reference to FIG. 83, when photocell
PCB is de-energized, the state of line B is rendered
FALSE thereby. When linc B is thus rendered FALSE,
the state of flipflop 6122 is reversed, so that line P is
rendered TRUE, line (P)', of course, being simultaneously rendered FALSE. \Vhen line (P)' is thus rendered FALSE, card-drive relay coil CDR is de-energized,

and, as a result, relay contacts CDR-S are closed and
th~reby render line (U)' TRUE.
With reference to FIG. 82, also when coil CDR is
de-energized, rel:J.y contacts CDR-l and CDR-2 are
opened, whereas relay contacls CDR-3 and CDR-4
are closed, as shown, thus causing a reversal of subseql;[;ntly-applkd cnrrent through the  is rendered TRUE; otherwi~;c, line (K1')' is rendered TRUE. If it is assumed

Consequently, line KE Y is thereby rendered TRUE, tndic,lling thcit the comjluter is ready to magneti:::aliy rccord the diGit now stored in the "K" di~it-registcr 011
;he m,1£netic strip of the ledger oQrd. il.cluC!1 recording on th~ Lx!ger cnrd, however, does not begin until

of state of t1iptlop 61t:2 approximately 24:'\0 microseconds r,fter being rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop
60S9 (FIG. 92B) is ag"in reversed, so that line KEY is
tbereby rendered FALSE.
Wilh reference to FlG. 92C, when Iir;e KEY experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, the st~.tc of
:1ipflop (;l(}~ is reversed, and lille SES is rendered TRUE

has bec;n ma~~netically recorded on the ledger c,ml.
V,,'ith reference now to FlG. 85, ~,s lines SES and ROC
remain TRUE during the entire recording op~ration, recordil1g current etTcctivcly flows through the winding of
clock recording-reproducing hend 3'17 in one direction
or in the opposite direction, depending upon whether
the st:lte of line SAI'.'i is TRUE or FALSE. Tbus, it is
evident, when line SES is rendered TRUE, an approximately 200-cycle-per-sccond square-wave signal is magneticnlIy recorded in the clock channel of the ledger cord
while the card is being translated outwardly from the
carriage at a linear speed of approxi:nately ten inches
per second.
As previously described with respect to FIG. 70, ,the
output of the "K" digit-register is effectively ~crialized,
in that the digit stored therein is effectively "read out"
bit-by-bit and the state of line KS is sequentially conditioned either TRUE or FALSE for each bit, depending
upon whether the bit just read out is either a "1" or a "0,"
respectively. Therefore, when line KEY (FIG. 61) is
rendered FALSE, line CYC is reversed from TRUE to
FALSE. As a result, the bit-counter (FIG. 62) is decremented from a binury count of "a" to a binary count
of "d." With reference back to FIG. 70, if it is assumed
that the digit previously stored in the "K" digit-rcgister
is a "9"-i.e., binary IDOl-when the bit-counter is at a

73. Detailed Description of ECW Illstruction

In execu!jng an "EeW" instruction, the control counter GO
portion of the compu:er operates in conjunction with the
card-handling portion thereof to effect the individual reproduction of Iincfind, clock, and data information, each
being previously recorded magnetically in a different one
of the three channels of the mngnetic strip portion of the G5
leltger crrrd in tbe manner just described.
The subprogram for the execution of such an "ECW"
instruction may be divided into three distinct phases.
During the first phase of the subprogram, the data information, in the form of a sequence of words, is first read 70
from the magnetic strip and is thereafter stored in the
designated memory 'address locations. If the ledger card
does not have any information magnetically recorded
thereon, such as, for example, a new ledger card, even
though there is no information magnetically reproduced, 75

trailing edge of the ledger card passes over the aperture
of the paper guide 303 on its way outwardly from the
carriage, photocell PCC is de-energized, and line C is
thus rendered FALSE. Ho\vever, when the trailing edge
of the ledger card passes over the junction of the leg
members 371 and 372, photocell PCB is again de-energized, and line B 1S again rendered FALSE.
Consequently, with reference to FIG. 83, as all of the
inputs to logical AND 1775 are simultaneously TRUE
after the ledger card is ejected from thc carri~ge onto
the loading table, paper-guide motor PGM is thus energized and thereafter effects unlatch1ng of the compression
rolls 296 from the card-drive platen 241 in the same manner as previously described with respect to FIG. 19. After
the unlatching operation is completed, movable arm 336339 ,IE-i after line F9 is rendered TRUE. When line
WOA is thus rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 611)7
is rcversed, so that line STD is rendered TRUE.
'.vith reference to FIG. 91B, when line STD ,is thus
rendered TRUE, line TS5 is likc\vise rendered TRUE.
Thereafter, in response to lines STD and TS5 being renvcred TRUE, a "STD"' i>ubinstruction is executed whereby the contents of section 5 of the instruction register is
stored in the word-selecting register, thus terminating the
scquencc of events initiated by the "ECW" instruction.
It is to be noted that, if the numeral "6" had initially
been stored in the high-order digital position of section 2
of the instruction register indicating "no motor bar operation," line WOA (FIG. 91A), after being initially rendered TRUE, remains TRUE for a period of approximately 250 milliseconds and is thereafter rendered
FALSE bya reversal of state of flipflop 6H8 due to line
AN subsequently being rendered FALSE after line (RF)'
is rendcred TRUE by a reversal of state of flipflop 6120.
Thus, when line WOA is rendered FALSE in this in~tance, line H6 being TRUE, the state of flipflop 6107
is reversed, as before, so that line STD is thereby relldercd TRUE.
It will now be assumed that the ledger card, initially
fed into the card-hancHing portion of the computer, is to
be properly positioned in the accounting machine carriage on the next posting line ready for a posting operation thereon, rather than being ejected as just desc]1ibed.
In this instance, the carriage of the machine is opened;
the lower compression rolls are thereafter disengaged
from the accoonting machine platen; and the ledger card
is manually placed face down on the loading ,table and
thereafter automatically driven into the accounting machine carriage in exactly the same manner as just described. Aftcr the data information is magnetically
picked up from the magnetic strip portion of the ledger
card Gnd stored in the selected address or addresses in
memory, the direction of rotation of the card-drive
motor is again reversed, as before, and the ledger
card is thereafter driven outwardly from the accounting machine carriage in exactly the same manner a:; just
described. Howcv..:r, as a line-finding operation is now

desired, so that the digit initially stored ,in the low-order
digital position of section 2 of the instlUction register is
either one of the digits "I" through "3" and "5" through
"7," the state of flip flop 6094 (FIG. 91B) is reversed at
TIME-l after line EOC is rendered TRUE, indicating
that the ledger card is completely scanned, due to a
TRUE-ta-FALSE reversal of state of the output of gate
1611. Consequently, the states of lines ;vl0U and RED
are simultaneously rendered FALSE just after the initial
forward direction of movement of the ledger card is
reversed.
With reference to FIG. 85, as the state of line (L)' is
normally TRUE, the stnte of output line Q is likewise
rendered TRUE by gates 1802 and Hill when line
(RED)' is rendered TRUE. Consequently, with reference to FIG. 82, due to the fact that line Q is rendered
TRUE simultaneously with line i being rendercd FALSE
when line MOU is rendered FALSE, the card-drive motor
CDM remains energized and continues to drive the ledger
card outwardly from the accounting machine carriage.
As previously described with respect to FIG. 17, when
the reversal spot at the top of the ledger card leaves the
junction of the arms 371 and 372, the photocell PCB is
energized by the light source 373. 1\180, as previously
described with respect to FIG. 83, line B is rendered
TRUE when the photocell PCB is energized. \Vith reference to FIG. 85, when line 13 is thl1s rendered TRUE,
the lowermost reference input to flipflop 61AG, as viewed,
is thereby rendered FALSE, and line l\H4 is simultaneously rendered TRUE. When the lowermost reference
input to flipflop 6146 is thus rendered FALSE, t'1e flipflop is thereafter propedy conditioned to be responsive
via line (Rq,)', to a predetermined one of the negativcgoing Enefind impulses derived by linefind head 346
from the information previously stored in the linefind
channel of the magnetic strip portion or the ledger card.
Consequently, each time a negative-going Jinefind impulse is derived by pick-up head 346 as the ledger card
is being driven outwardly from the accounting machine
carriage, the impulse appears amplified and inverted at
the output of transistor gate 1306. As a result, the state
of output line LFA experiences a FALSE-to-TRUE-toFALSE reversal of state each time a linefir:d discontinuity is magnetically sensed by pick-up head 346.
It is to be appreciated at this point that, when an
"ECW" subprogram is fiTst initiated, the R-counter is
preset to a count of "I;' "2," or "3," depending upon
whether the ledger card is to be respectively positioned
on the first, second, or third posting line. That is, if the
low-order di,'Sit in section 2 of the instruction register
is a "1" or a "5," the R-countcr is preset to a (';Ollnt of
"1"; if the low-order digit in section 2 is a ''2'' or a "6,"
the R-counter is preset to a count of "2"; and if the loworder uigit is a "3" or a "7," the R-counler is preset
to a count of "3," all of which is clearly illustrated in
FIG. 68.
As previously noted, a "0" in the low-order digital
position of section 2 of the instruclion register initiates
a "enter-new-card-with-manual-resume-program" cycle of
operation.
If it is assumed that the low-order digit in section 2
of the instruction register is a "7"-i.e., "stop on third
linefind with automatic-resume-program"--the R-counter
is pre~et to a count of "3," so that lines Ra and Rb
(FIG. 68) are rendered TRUE, whcreas lines Rc and
Rd remain FALSE.
With reference to FIG. 91B, each time the state of
line LFA reverses from TRUE to FALSE in response to
a linefind discontinuity being detected, the state of line
DR likewise reverses from TRUE to FALSE. Consequently, the R-counter is decremented each time a linefind discontinuitv is detected. Therefore, when the third
!inefind discontinuity is detected, the R-counter is decremented from a count of "1" to a COllnt of "0," so that
line Rq, (FIG. 68) is thereby rendered TRUE. \"lith ref.

erence to FIG. 85, when the state of line (Rq,), is rendered FALSE, tile slate of flipflop 6146 is reversed, so
that line (L)' is thereby rcr:clered FALSE. As a result,
line Q likewise is rendered FALSE. With reference to
FlG. 82, as a result of line Q thus being rendered FALSE,
the card-drive motor CDl'vl is de-energized. Also, as
shown in FIG. 83, 'when line (L)' is rendered FALSE,
the state of flipflop 6123 is reversed, so that the earddrive brake solenoid COB is energized for a period of
approximately 120 milli:;econds and thereby causes the
ledger card to be brought ;0 a sudden standstill.
At this point, the ledger card is properly positioned
with respect to the next po"ting line and is held tightly
pressed against the card-drive platen 241 (FIG. 19) by
means of the compression rollers 296 in order to maintain propcr rcgi:itcr thereof. In addition, the carriage
is now open, so that <.dditional forms may manually be
inserted therein, if desired. With reference to FIG. 82,
line EOC is likewise rendered FALSE when line (L)' is
rendered FALSE. Due to the fact that line CLC is rendered TRUE as a result of an "automatic" resume-program operation being specified by the value of the loworder digit of section 2 of the instruction register, carriage-close solenoid Y is energized when line (EOC)' is
thus rendered TRUE and thereafter causes the accounting
machine carriage to be closed in the same manner as
previously described.
It is to be noted, however, that, if a manual resumcprogram is specified by the value of the low-order digit
of section 2 of the instruction register, line CLC is reno
dered TRUE upon subscqllcntdcpression of the resume·
program bar, at which time line RPB is rendered TRUE.
During the carriage-closing operation, the lower com·
pression rolls 21lS (FIG. 17) are spring·urged into engagement with the accounting machine platen 71, with
the lower edge of the ledgcr card firmly secured therebetween, and the movable arm of the switch 545 (FIG. 82)
is deflected to the position shown, so that line (G)' is
rendered TRUE and line G is rendered FALSE, thus causing solenoid Y to be dc-energized. When line (G)' is
thus rendered TRUE, the ,paper-guide motor PGM is
energized and thereafter effects unlatching of the compression rollers 296 (FIG. 19) from the card-handling
platen 241. After the unlatching operation is completed,
the paper guide 282 is spring-ur~cd to the position shown
in FIG. 17, and the switch arm 33G-339 (FIG. 82) is
effectively deflected downwardly to the position shown,
so that line E is rendered TRUE and line N is rendered
FALSE thereby, Also, after the unlatching operation is
completed, the plungcr of switch 333 (FIG. 16) is released by the tail of memb'2r 329, so that the movable
arm of switch 333 (see FIG. 82) is deflected to the position shown, so that jine (D)' is rendered TRUE and line
D is rendered FALSE thereby. When line D is thus
rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6124 (FIG. 83) is
reversed, and, as a result, carriage-horne-unlock solenoid
CHP is energized for a period of approximately 40 milliseconds and thereby allows the accounting machine carriage to thereafter be moved away from home position
when a machinccyc1e is subsequently initiated.
When line N is thus rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6122 is reversed, so that line (P)' is rendered TRUE
and card-drive relay solenoid CDR is simultaneously energized thereby. As a result of solenoid CDR thus being
cn.;rgized, rcby contacts CDR-5 are opened and thereby
cause paper-guide motor POj'\,! to be de-energized, Simul·
taneously therewith, relay contacts CDR-l and CDR-2
(FIG. 82) are closed, whereas relay contacts CDR-3
and CDR-4 are opened thereby. With reference to FIG.
91/\, at the following TIME-3 after line (D)' is rendered
TRUE, the state of flipflop 6118 is reversed, so that line
WOA is rendered TRUE thereby. As a result of line
WOA thus being rendeTed TRUE, the particular motor

digit in section 2 of the instruction register is initiated

in exactly the same manner as previously described in

After a machine cycle is initiated, the state of flipflop

As shown in FIG. 91 B, when line STD is thus rendered
TRUE, Jine TS5 is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, in response to lines STD and TS5 being rendered
TRUE, a "STD" subinstruction is thereafter executed
whereby the contacts of section 5 of the instruction regis- 10

In executing a "shift" instruction, one of five possibJe
subprograms is carried out, depending upon the value
of the high and low order digits stored in section 2 of
the instruction register. For example, if the number
stored in section 2 of the instruction register is "00," a
simple copy operation is carried out, whereby the word
stored in memory at the address specified by the contenls of section 3 of the instruction register is copied into
the address in memory specified by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register; if the high-order digit
stored in section 2 of the instruction register is a "2," the
word stored in memory at the address specified by section 3 of the instruction register is shifted to the left by
the number of digital positions specified by the value
of the low-order digit stored in section 2 of the instruction register, and, thereafter, the result is stored in the
address in memory specified by section 4 of the instrnction register; if the high-order digit stored in section 2
of the instruction register is a "3," the word stored in
memory at the address specified by section 3 of the instruction register is shifted to the right by the number of
digital positions specified by the vallie of the low-order

A "motor bar" instruction simply initiates selective
depression of a predetermined one of motor bars 23,
27, or 28 (FIGS. 2 and 38) for either a "tonch" or a
"hold" operation and thereafter immediately proceeds to
the next instruction. As previollsly dcscribed, the par·
ticular type of motor bar depression is determined by
the value of the high·order digit of section 2 of the
instruction register. For example, if the high·order digit
of section 2 of the instrucHon register is a "0," upper
motor bar 23 is actuated for a touch operation; jf the
value of the high·order digit is a "I," upper motor bar
23 is actuated for a hold opcration; if the high· order
digit is a "2," middle motor bar 27 is actuated for
a touch operation; if the high·order digit is a "3," middle motor bar 27 is actuated for a hold operation; if
the high·order digit is a "4," lower motor bar2S is ac.
tuated for a to[lch operation; and, jf the high.order
digit is a "5," lower motor bar 2& is actuated for a hold
operation. Al~;o, as previously described, the value of
the low·order di~it of section 2 of the instruction regis.
ter determines the position of the decimal point when
the word is subsequently printed out. For example, if
the low·order digit is a "0," a normal decimal point is
printed between the second ,end third order digits of
the word printed out; if the low·order digit is a "J," a
decimal point in the form of a "comma" is printed be·
tween the fifth and sixth order digits of the word printed
out; if the low·order digit is a "2," a comma is printed
between the eighth and ninth order digits of the word
printed out.

Upon completion of the execution of the previously
initiated "MI" word-cycle, during which time the next
instruction word is read out from the address in memory
specified by the contents of the word-selecting register
and thereafter stored in the instruction register, if the
contents of section 1 of the instruotion register thereafter
corresponds to the code designation for a "MB" ,instruction (Le" "06"), the state of line MB is rendered TRUE
in .a manner previously described with respect to FIG.
56, and, as a result, a "motor bar" instruction is thereafter executed in the following manner;
With reference to FIG. 95, there is logically illustrated therein a composite circuit diagram of particular
portions of the computer circuitry utilized in executing
a "MB" instruction. As shown therein, upon completion of the previously-initiated "MI" word-cycle, the state
of flipflop 6089 is reversed when line MIN experiences
a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, and, as a result,
the state of line KEY is rendered TRUE thereby. Also
when line MIN is initially rendered TRUE, line PFet>
experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, thus
causing the F-counter (FIG. 72) to be preset to "zero."
As previously described in detail, if it is assumed that

the accounting machine is in a condition such that actuation of a motor bar is capable of initiating a cycle
of operation thereof, line GO is rendered TRUE, indicating that a cycle of operation of the accounting machine is permitted to be initiated at this time. It being
assumed that line GO is TRUE, the state of flipflop
6118 is reversed at TlME-3 after line KEY is rendered
TRUE and line WOA is thereby rendered TRUE. When
line WOA is rendered TRUE, a selected one of motor
bar solenoids MBcp, MBI, or MB2 is energized, depending upon the value of the high-order digit of section 2 of the instruction register. For example, if the
high-order digit is either one of the digits "0" or "1,"
motor bar solenoid MBet> is energized; if the high-order
digit is either one of the digits "2" or "3," motor bar
solenoid MBI is energized, and, if the high-order digit
is either one of the digits "4" or "5," motor bar solenoid MB2 is energized thereby. As a result of a selected one of the upper, middle, or lower motor bar
solenoids being energized, a cycle of operation of the
accounting machine is thus initiated thereby. With reference to FIG. 72, when the accounting machine begins
to cycle, the movable arm of switch 540 is deflected
to the left, as viewed, so that line (NT)' is thereby
rendered TRUE. Thereafter, each time the accounting
machine timing rack is translated from one digital valued position to a successively high-order digital valued
position, the state of flipflop 6072 is reversed, so that
line PCT experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of
state in the same manner as previously described. Also
as previously described, a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of
state of line PCT effectively increments the F-counter
by a count of "1."
With reference back to FIG. 95, after the F-counter
reaches a count of "9," so that line F9 is rendered TRUE,
the state of flipflop 6118 is reversed upon occurrence
of the following TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state of line
AN, and, as a result, line WOA is rendered FALSE
and thereby causes any previously-energized motor bar
solenoid to be de-energized.
When the F-counter first reaches a count of "8," so
that line F8 is rendered TRUE, order-hook solenoid OHl
is energized if the low-ordered digit in section 2 of
the instruction register is a "1," whereas order-hook solenoid OH2 is energized if the low-order digit in section
2 is a "2." As previously described with respect to
FIG. 35, when order-hook solenoid OHl is energized,
all order-hooks from the third to and including the eighth
one are unlatched from their respective type sectors.
However, when order-hook solenoid OH2 is energized,
all order-hooks from the third to and including the eleventh one are unlatched from their respective type sectors.
Also as shown, upper motor bar solenoid MB is deenergized when the F-counter is advanced from a count
of "0" to a count of "1," unless the high-order digit in
seclion 2 of the instruction register is a "I"; middle
motor bar solenoid MBI is de-energized when the Fcounter is advanced from a count of "0" to a count
of "1," unless the high-order digit in section 2 of the
instruction register is a "3"; and lower motor bar solenoid ME2 is dc-energized when the F-counter is advanced from a count of "0" to a count of "1," unless
the high-order digit is a "5." It is evident, therefore,
that either a touch or a hold operation of a particular
motor bar is accomplished simply by maintaining the
corresponding motor bar solenoid energized for a predetermined period of time. However, as previously
stated, when line '\lOA is subsequently rendered FALSE,
any previously-energized motor bar solenoid is de-energized thereby. After the F-counter reaches a count of
"9," so that line F9 is rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6IG7 is reversed when line WOA is thus rendered
FALSE and line STD is rendered TRUE thereby. When
line STD is thus rendered TRUE, line TS5 is likewise
rendereel TRUE. Consequently, a "STD" subinstruction

DAD-0-39 ____ A(1 is TRUE, line TS3 is
likewise rendered TRUE when line MA is initially rendered TRUE. As a result of lines MA and TS3 being
rendered TRUE, a first "fvfA" word-cycle is thereafter
executed, whereby the multiplier word stored in the address in memory specified by the contents of section 3
of ,the instruction register is read out and stored in addrcssA. Simultaneously therewith, the multiplier word just
read out from memory is copied digit by digit into the
"J" digit.register. Upon completion of the "MA" wordcycle, the state of flipflop 6091 (FIG. 102B) is again
reversed, so that line MA is rendered FALSE thereby.
If, upon completion of the just-executed "MA" wordcycle, the algebraic sign of the multiplier word just read
from memory is negative, so that the tenth-order digit
thereof stored in the "J" digit-register is a "9," the stute
of line OBM remains FALSE. Howeve,r, if the tmthorder digit stored in the "J" digit-register has a value
other than "9," the state of flipflop 6095 is reversed upon
completion of the "MA" word-cycle, and line OBl'I,1 is
thereby rendered TRUE. Thus, it is evident, the state
of line OBM is rendered TRUE if the algebraic sign of
the multiplier word is positive and is rendered FALSE if
the algebraic sign of the multiplier word is negative.
If the algebraic sign of the multiplier word just read
from memory is negative, so that line J9 is rendered
TRUE, the state of flipflop 6083 is reversed upon completion od' the previously-initiated "MA" word-cycle, and
line CPA is thereby rendered TRUE. As previollsly described, when line CPA is rendered TRUE, a "CPA" subcommand is ,thereafter executed, wher,eby the multiplier
word stored ~n address-A is first read out and complemented, and, thereafter, the absolute negative value thereof is stored back in address-A. Upon completion of the
"CPA" subcomm:11ld, the state of flipflop 6083 is ag,lin
reversed, and line CPA is thereby rendered FALSE. It
is to be noted that the state of flipflop 6081 is reversed
and line CB thereby rendered TRUE, either upon completion of the first "MA" word-cycle if the algebraic sign
of the multiplier word is positive, or upon completion of
the SUbsequently-initiated "CPA" subcommand if the
algebraic sign of the multiplier word is negative. In either

event, in response to line CB thus being rendered TRUE,
a "CD" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby a word
of all zeros is stored in address-B. Upon completion of
tbe "CIl" word-cycle, tlie state of flipflop 6081 is again
reversed, so that line CB is thereby rendered FALSE.
\Vith reference to FIG. l02A, in response to line cn
thus being rendered FALSE, the st~te of flipflop {j077
is reversed, and line AM is rendered TRUE thereby.
Line Ar>.'l being rendered TRUE likewise renders line
TS3 TRUE. Conscquent!y, in reopome to lines All'!
and TS3 bdr.g rendered TRUE, an "AM" word-cycle is
thereafter cxecuted, whereby the absolute value of the
multiplier word stored in address-A is read out and
stored in memory at the address specified by the eontcnts of section 3 of the instruction register. Upon completion of the "AI\1" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6077
is a::;ain reversed, so that line AM is rendered FALSE
thereby. As shovm in FIG. 102B, line PRS is also rendered FALSE as a result of line AM thus being rendered
FALSE. Line PRS thus being rendered FALSE causes
the R-countcr to be preset to a count of "8." Also,
\vhen line Ai'>'! is thus rendered FALSE, the stilte of
flipflop 6091 is agnin reversed, so that lin~ l\'IA is rendered
TRUE for the second time. However, as the R-countel'
is GO'N at a count of "8," so that line R8 is TRUE, line
TS4 (FIG. l02C) is likewise rendered TRUE \vhen line
j,IA is rendered TRUE. In response to lines ttA and
TS4 thus being rendered TRUE, a second "MA" wordcycle is there8fier exccuted, whereby the multiplicand
word stored in memory at the address specified by the
contents of section 4 of the instruction register is read
out and ;;tored in address-A. Simultaneously therewith,
the multiplicand word just read out from memory is
copied digit by digit into the "I" digit-rcgiskr.
Upon completion of the second "MA" word-cycle,
the state of flipflop 6091 (FIG. 102B) is again reversed,
so that line MA is rendered FALSE thereby. If, upon
completion of the execution of the second "MA" wordcycle, the algehraic sign of the multiplicand word just
read out from memory (as ind icated by a TRUE st<:tc of
line J9 if negative and a TRUE st~"e of line (J9)' if
posilive) corresponds to the algebraic sign of the multiplier word (as indicated by a TRUE state of line OEM
if positive and a TRUE state of line (ORM)'), the state
of flipflop 6096 is reversed, so that line OBN is rend~red
TRUE, indicating that the algebraic sign of the prodtlct
is positive. However, if such correspondence does not
exist, the state of line OBN remains FALSE, indicating
that the algebraic sign of the product of the two factors
is negative.
In addition, if the algebraic sign of the multiplicand is
negative, so th~t line 19 is rendered TRUE, the state of
flipflop 60S3 is reversed upon completion of the previously initiated "MA" word-cycle, and line CPA is thereby
rendered TRUE. As previously described, when line
CPA is rendered TRUE, a "CPA" subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the word stored in address-A
is read out and complemented, and, therc::fter, the absolute negative value thereof is stored back in addrcss-A.
Upon completion of the "CPA" subcommand, the stale
of flipflop 6(183 is again reversed, and line CPA is therehv
rendered FALSE. It is again to be noted that the state
of flipflop 6GSI is reversed and line CB thereby rendered
TRUE, either upon completion of the second "lvfA"
word-cycle if the algebraic sign of the multiplicand is
positive, or upon completion of the "CPA" subcommand
if the alegbraic sign of the multiplicand is negative. In
either event, in response to line CB thus bein~ rendered
TRUE, a "CD" word-cycle is thereafter eAecul~d, whereby a word of all zerm is stored in address-B. Upon
completion of the just-initiated word-cycle "CB", the
state of flipflop 6081 is ag?in reversed, so that line CB
is thereby rendered FALSE. With reference to FIG.
I02A, when line CB i3 thus rendered FALSE, the state
of flipflop 6077 is revef~cJ, and line AM is rendered
TRUE thereby for the second time. When line AM is

3,112,394

205
rendered TRUE, line TS4 (FIG. l02C) is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, in response to lines AM
,md TS4 being rendered TR VE, an "AM" word-cycle is
thereafter executed, whereby the word in address-A is
stored in memory at the address specified by the contents
of section 4 of the instruction register. Upon completion of the "AM" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6077
is again reversed, so that line Arvr is rendered FALSE
thereby.
The steps of the subprogram to this point have been
concerned with determining the algebraic signs of the
multiplicand and the multiplier, conditioning the state
of line OBN to be indicative of the algebraic sign of the
product of the two factors, complementing either or
both of the factors if the algebraic sign of either or both
is negative, and thereafter returning the absolute value
of the two factors to their original addresses in memory.
With reference now to PIG. l02A, after the absolute
value of the multiplicand is stored in memory at the address specified by the contents of section 4 of the instructi'On register, via the previously-initiated "AM" wordcycle, the state of flipflop 6080 is reversed when line A~!
is thus rendered FALSE for the second time, due to the
fact that the R-counter is now at a count of "8," as indicated by a TRUE state of line R8. When the state of
flipflop 6030 is reversed and line CA is rendered TRUE
thereby. In response to line CA being rendered TRUE,
a "CA" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby a
word of all zeros is again stored in address-A. Thereafter, the state of flipflop 6080 is again reversed, and line
CA is rendered FALSE. As a result of line CA thus
being rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6066 is
reversed, so that line MJ is rendered TRUE thereby.
Substantially coincidentally therewith, line PR¢ (FIG.
W2C) experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state
and therehy causes the R-counter to be preset to "0."
When line MJ is thus rendered TRUE, line TS3 (FIG.
102A) is likewise rendered TRUE. ConsC"quently, in
response to lines M1 and TS3 being rendered TRUE,
a "MJ" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby the
multiplier stored in memory at the address specified by
section 3 of the instruction register is read out and the
first-order digit thereof is stored in the R-counter.
The reason that only the first-order multiplier digit
is stored in the R-countcr via the previously initiated
"MJ" word-cycle is that the F-counter was initially preset to zero, and thus line RLM is TRUE only during that
time the count of the digit-counter is also equal to zero.
Otherwise, line (IFD)', hence line RLM, remains FALSE.
As previously described in detail, a digit is stored in the
"J" digit-register from memory only when line RLM
is TRUE. After the first-order digit of the multiplier
is stored in the R-counter, the state of flipflop 6066 (FIG.
102A) is again reversed, so that line MJ is rendered
FALSE thereby. If the first-order mulliplicr digit now
stored in the R-counter has a value other than "0" as
indicated by line (R¢ )'bcing TRUE, the s(:.:te of flipflop
6091 is reversed when line l\fJ is thus rendered FALSE,
and, as a result, line RAD is rendered TRUE thereby.
When line RAD is thus rendered TRUE, line TS-1 (FIG.
102C) is likewise rendered TRUE.
Consequently, in response to lines RAD and TS4 thus
being rendered TRUE, a first "RAD" subcommand is
thereafter executed, whereby the multiplicand stored in
memory at the address specified by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is read out and added
to the contents of address-A. Upon completion of the
first "RAD" subcommand, line DR (FIG. I02C) experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of state, so that the
R-counter is decremented by a count of "1." If, after
being decremented, the R-counter is still at a count other
than "0," Jines RAD and TS4 remain TRUE, so that a
second "RAD" subcommand is thereafter executed,
whereby the multiplicand is again read out from the address in memory specified by the contents of section 4

of the instruction register and is added to the partial
product stored in address-A. After the second "RAD"
subcomm~lfld is completed, the R-counter is again decremented by a count of "1," and, if, after being decremented for the second time, the R-counter is still at a
count other than "0," a third "RAD" subcommand is
thereafter executed, and so on.
However, when the R-counter has been decremented
to a count of "0," so that line R¢ is rendered TRUE
thereby, indicating that the partial product with respect
to the first-order digit of the multiplier word has been
derived and stored in address-A, the state of flipflop 6097
(FIG. 102A) is again reversed, so that line RAD is
rendered FALSE thereby. As a result of Hne RAD thus
being rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6101 is reversed, so that line SA is thereby rendered TRUE. In
response to line SA thus being rendered TRUE, a "SA"
subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the partial
product now stored in address-A is shifted to the right
by one digital position in the same manner as previously
described in detail. Upon completion of the previouslyinitiated "SA" subcommand, the state of flipflop 6101 is
again reversed, so that line SA is rendered FALSE thereby. When line SA is thus rendered FALSE, the state of
flipflop 6103 is reversed, so that line SB is thereby rendered TRUE. In response to line "SB" being rendered
TRUE, a "SB" subcommand is thereafter exeouted,
whereby the word stored in address-B is shifted to the
right by one digital position, with the original first-order
digit of the word in address-A being stored in the tenthorder digital position of address-B. Upon completion of
the just-initiated "SB" subcommand, the state of flipflop
6103 is again reversed, so that line SB is rendered FALSE
thereby.
With reference to FIG. 102C, just prior to the completion of the previously-initiated "SB" subcommand, line
AF experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal of stntc when
line EG is rendered FALSE; consequently, the F-counter
is incremented from a connt of "0" to a count of "1."
Thus with reference to FIG. 102A, as the F-counter is at
a count other than "10," so that line (Fl1»' rem8ins
TRUE, the state of flip-flop 6C66 is again reversed upon
completion of the just-initiated "SB" subcommand, so
that lines MJ and TS3 are both rendered TRUE for the
second time. With reference to FIG. 102C, it is again
to be noted that, due to the fact that the F-counter is now
at a count of "1," line (IFD)', hence line RLM, is rendered TRUE only during the time the digit-counter is
also at a count of "1"; otherwise, line RLM remains
FALSE. As a result of lines MJ and TS3 again being
rendered TRUE, a second "MJ" digit-cycle is thereafter
executed, whereby the second-order digit of the multiplier
word is read out from the address specified by section 3
of the instruction register and is thereafter stored in the
R-Collnter. Thereafter, a succession of "RAD" SUbCOfl1mands is executed, whereby the multiplicand is added to
the partial product now stored in address-A by the number of times equal to the digital value of the second-order
multiplier digit stored in the R-counter. Thereafter, the
twenty-digit word stored in combined addresses A and B
is shifted to the right by one digital position in the same
manner as just described.
The above-de~cribed sequence of events is sequentially
repeated until the tenth-order digit of the multiplier is
stored in the R-counter, the mUltiplicand is again added
to the contents of address-A by the number of times
dictated by the digital value of the tenth-order multiplier
digit, and the twenty-digit product stored in combined
addresses A and B is shifted to the right for the tenth time
by one digital position. As t!lC ]'<'-C0unter is now at a
count of "10," as indicated by line FlO being rendered
TRUE, the multiplication portion of the "MUS" instruction is now completed.
During the next phase of the "MUS" instruction, a

3,112,391

207
succession of "SA" and "SB" subcommands is executed,
whereby the twenty-digit product is shifted either to the
right or to the left by the number of digital positions
hdicuteJ by (he contents of section 2 of the instl-uction
register, p.ll in esscntially the same manner as previously
described in detail with respect to that portion of the
precediw; d·~scr,iption entitled "Description of SHF Instruction" and also with respect to that portion of the
preceding description rel<1ting to the "SA" and "SI3" subcomm8nds.
With reference to FIG. 102B, if the state of line
(OEM)' was previously rendered TRUE, indicating that
the algebraic sign of the multiplier is negative, the stale of
flipflop 6084 is reversed upon completion of the last "SB"
subcommand, during which time lines Flq, and Rq, are
both rendered TRUE. Consequently, the state of line
CPM is rendered TRUE in order to effect complementing of the multiplier stored in memory at the <1ddre'ls
specifioo by section 3 of the instruction register. However, if the algebraic sign of the multiplier is positive,
the state of line (OBM)' thus being FALSE, a subsequently-initiated "CPM" subcammand is prevented. As
shown in FIG. l02C, the state of flipflop 6lJ79 is reversed
and line BM thereby rendered TRUE upon completion of
the last-initiated "SB" subcommand, if the state of line
0111\,1 is TRUE, indicating that the algebraic sign of the
multiplier is positive; otherwise, the state of flipflop 6079
remains unchanged and line BM thereby remains FALSE
until the Iast-initbted "CP!'.!" subcommand is complctccl.
However, when line BM is finally rendered TRUE due (0
a reversal of state of flipflop 6079, line TS4 is likewise
rendered TRUE.
In response to lines BM and TS4 thus being rendered
TRUE, a "BM" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby the word is address-B is read out and stored in memory
at the address specified by the contents of section 4 of the
instruction register. Upon completion of the "BM" wordcycle, the state of flipflop 6079 is again reversed, so that
line BM is rendered FALSE thereby. With reference to
FIG. l02B, when line BM is thus rendered FALSE, the
state of line PR8 is reversed from TRUE to FALSE, thus
causing the R-countcr to be preset to a count of "R," so
that line R8 is rendered TRUE thereby. If the state of
line (OBN)' was previously rendered TRUE, indicating
that the algebraic sign of the product is negative, the
state of flipflop 6084 is reversed when line 13M is thus
rendered FALSE, and, as a result, line CPM is rendered
TRUE thereby. When line CPM is thus rendered TRUE,
line TS4 (FIG. 102C) is likewise rendered TRUE. Thus,

~n ,:g~~f,;es~l~~~~~~~~r i:nt~:~~:f~e~n:X~~~~:~~d\~~~;;
the product stored in memory at the address specified
by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is
complemented thereby. Upon completion of the justinitiated "CPM" subcommand, the state of flipflop 6084
(FIG. l02B) is again reversed, so that line CPM is
rendered FALSE thereby.
As shown, the state of flip-flop 6107 is reversed and
line STD rendered TRUE upon completion of the justinitiated "BM" subcommand if the state of line OBN i:,
TRUE, indicating that the algebraic sign of the product is
positive; otherwise, the state of flipflop 6107 is not so
reversed, and line STD is thereby rendered TRUE until
the previously-initiated "CPM" subcommand is completed.
However, when line STD is finally rendered TRUE, line
TS5 is likewise rendered TRUE. In response to lines
STD and TS5 thus being rendered TRUE, a "STD" subinstruction is thereafter executed, whereby the contents
of section 5 of the instruction register is stored in the
word-selecting register, thus terminating the sequence of
events initiated in accordance with the "MUS" instruction.

of the instruction register, as in the pr(,;viously-dcscri8e·J
"MUS" instruction. Tn addition, in executing a "NIDD"
instructio:l, the address in memory of the multiplier is
specified by the contents of section 2 of the instructiol1

TSZ (FIG. 103A) is likewise rendered TRUE as a result of line MA being rendered TRUE. In response to
lines MA and TSZ thus being rendered TRUE, a second
"AM" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby the
dividend stored in memory at the address specified by
the contents of section 2 of the instruction register is
read out and stored in address-A; simultaneously therewith, the dividend is copied digit by digit into the "J"
digit-register.
Upon completion of the second "MA" word-cycle, the
state of flipflop 6091 (FIG. 103B) is again reversed, so
that line MA is rendered FALSE thereby. If upon completion of the "MA" word-cycle the algebraic sign of the
dividend, as indicated by the states of lines J9 and (J9)',
corresponds to the algebraic sign of the divisor, as indicated by the states of lines OBM and (Omvl)', the state
of flipflop 6096 is reversed, so that line OBN is rendered
TRUE thereby. However, if the algebraic signs of the
dividend and of the divisor are of opposite signs, the state
of line OBN remains FALSE. Thus it is evident that
the state of line OBN is rendered TRUE if the algebraic
sign of the dividend corresponds to the algebraic sign of
the divisor, and is rendered FALSE if the algebraic sign
of the dividend does not correspond to the algebraic sign
of the divisor. Also, if the algebraic sign of the dividend
just read from memory is negative, so that line J9 is
rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6083 is reversed
upon completion of the previously-initiated "MA" wordcycle, and line CPA is thereby rendered TRUE.
As previously described, when line CPA is rendered
TRUE, a "CPA" subcommand is thereafter executed,
whereby the word stored in address-A is read out and
complemented, and its absolute value is thereafter stored
back in address-A. Upon completion of the "CPA" subcommand t,he state of flipflop 6083 is again reversed, and
line CPA is thereby rendered FALSE. It is evident,
therefore, that the state of flipflop 6081 is reversed and
line CB thereby rendered TRUE, either upon completion of the secondly-initiated "MA" word-cycle, if the
algebraic sign of the dividend is positive, or upon completion of the previously-initiated "CPA" subcommand
if the algebraic sign of the dividend is negative. In
either event, when line CB is finally rendered TRUE, a
"CB" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby a word
of all zeros is stored in address-B. Upon completion of
the "CB" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6081 is again
reversed, so that line CB is thereby rendered FALSE.
With reference to FIG. 103A, the state of flipflop 6100
is reversed as a result of line CB thus being rendered
FALSE, and, as a result, line RSB is thereby rendered
TRUE. When line RSB is thus rendered TRUE, line
TS4 is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, in response to lines RSB and TS4 thus being rendered TRUE,
a "RSB" subcommand is thereby executed, whereby the
divisor stored in memory at the address specified by the
contents of section 4 of the instruction register is read
out and subtracted from the contents of address-A. Upon
completion of the "RSB" subcommand, the state of flipflop 6100 is again reversed, so that line RSB is thereby
rendered FALSE. As previously described in detail with
respect to that portion of the adder-su btractor circuitry
shown in FIG. 54, decimal·carry output line EAS is
rendered TRUE upon completion of the "RSB" subcommand if the algebraic sign of the remainder is negative; however, if the algebraic sign of the remainder is
positive, line EAS is rendered FALSE.
If it be assumed that the algebraic sign of the remainder
now in address-A is positive, so that line (EAS), is
TRUE, the state of flipflop 6085 (FIG. 103A) is reversed
upon completion of the previously-initiated "RSB" subcommand, and line DAD is thereby rendered TRUE.
When line DAD is thus rendered TRUE, a "DAD" sub.
command is thereafter executed, whereby the constant
0000000001 is added to the word now stored in address-B
which, in this instance, is a word of all zeros. Upon com~

pletion of the "DAD" subcommand, the state of flipflop
6085 is again reversed, so that line DAD is rendered
FALSE thereby. As a result of line DAD thus being
rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6100 is again reversed, so that line RSB is rendered TRUE for the second time. Consequently, a second "RSB" subcommand
is thereafter executed, whereby the divisor stored in memory at the address specified by the contents of section 4
of the instruction register is again subtracted from the
contents of the address-A. Thereafter, the state of flipflop 6100 is again reversed, so that line RSB is rendered
FALSE thereby. When line RSB is thus rendered
FALSE, the state of flipflop 6085 is again reversed, so
that line DAD is rendered TRUE for the second time,
provided that the algebraic sign of the difference now in
addrcss-A is still positive. However, if it be assumed that
the algebraic sign of the difference is now negative, so
that line (EAS)' is rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop
6085 is thereafter preVented from being reversed, and,
consequently, line DAD remains FALSE. Therefore, as
it has been assumed that the algebraic sign of the remainder is now negatiVe, so that line EAS is rendered
TRUE, the state of flipflop 6097 is reversed upon completion of the previously-initiated "RSB" subcommand,
and, as a result, line RAD is rendered TRUE thereby. It
is evident, therefore, that the subtraction operation is
continued until line EAS is rendered TRUE, indicating
that the algebraic sign of the remainder is negative.
Howevcr, when line RAD is thus rendered TRUE, line
TS4 is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, a URAD"
subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the divisor
stored in memory at the address specified by the contents
of section 4 of the instruction register is added to the contents of address-A, which is thereafter storing a remainder
whose algebraic sign is now positive; i.e., greater than
"0." Just prior to completion of the "RAD" subcommand, the state of line DR (FIG. 103B) experiences a
TRUE-to-F ALSE reversal of state and thereby causes the
R-counter to be decremented from a count of "8" to a
count of "7." Upon completion of the previouslyinitiated "RAD" subcommand, the state of flipflop 6097
(FIG. l03A) is again reversed, so that line RAD is thus
rendered FALSE. As the R-counter is now at a count
other than "0," so that line (Rot»' is rendered TRUE, the
slate of flipflop 6101 is reversed when line RAD is thus
rendered FALSE, and, consequently, line SA is rendered
TRUE thereby. In response to line SA thus being rendered TRUE, a "SA" subcommand is thereafter executed,
whereby the remainder stored in address-A is shifted to
the left by one digital position. Thereafter, the state of
fliptlop 6101 is again reversed, so that line SA is rendered
FALSE thereby. When line SA is thus rendered FALSE,
the state of flipflop 6103 is reversed and line SB rendered
TRUE thereby. In response to line SB being rendered
TRUE, a "SB" subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the partial quotient stored in address-B is also shifted
to the left by one digital position. Upon completion of
the just-initiated "SB" subcommand, the state of flipflop
6103 is again reversed, and line SB is rendered FALSE
thereby.
As a result of line SB thus being rendered FALSE, the
state of flipflop 6100 is again reversed, so that lines RSB
and TS4 are again rendered TRUE. Consequently a
"RSB" subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the
divisor stored in memory at the address specified by section 4 of the instruction register is subtracted from the
shifted remainder now stored in address-A. Thereafter,
a succession of "RSB" sub commands is executed until the
remainder stored in address-A has been reduced to zero
or .until. the algebraic sign thereof becomes negative, at
whIch ttme the states of flipflops 6097 and 6100 are both
reversed, so that lines RAD and RSB are thereby rendered TRUE and FALSE, respectively. In response to
lines RAD and TS4 now being TRUE, a "RAD" subcommand is thereafter executed, whereby the divisor

3,112,394

215
stored in memory at the address specified by section 4 of
the instruction register is added to the remainder stored
in address-A. Thereafter, a "SA" subcommand followed
by a "SB" subcommand is sequentially executed, whereby
the words stored in addresses A and B are both shifted one
digital position to the left. As shown in FIG. 103B, just
prior to the completion of the "RAD" subcommand, the
state of line DR experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE reversal
of state and thereby causes the R-counter to be decremented from a count of "7" to a count of "6." The
above-described sequence of subtraction operations is
sequentially repeated until the R-counter is decremented
from a count of "I" to a count of "0."
Upon completion of the last-initiated "RAD" subcommand, after the R-counter reaches a count of zero, as indicated by line R.p being rendered TRUE, the state of
flipflop 6079 is reversed, so that lines BM and TS4 are
both rendered TRUE. In response to lines BM and TS4
thus being rendered TRUE, a "BM" word-cycle is thereafter executed, whereby the word stored in address-B is
read out and stored in memory at the address specified
by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register.
Upon completion of the "BM" word-cycle, the state of
flipflop 6079 is again reversed, so that line BM is rendered FALSE thereby. With reference to FIG. 103B,
when line BM is reversed from TRUE to FALSE, the state
of line PRS is likewise reversed from TRUE to FALSE,
and, as a result, the R-counter is again preset to a count
of "8," so that line RS is rendered TRUE thereby. If it is
assumed that line (OBN)' was previously rendered
TRUE, indicating that the algebraic sign of the quotient is
negative, the state of flipflop 6084 is reversed upon completion of the previously-initiated "BM" word-cycle, and
line CPM is rendered TRUE thereby. As line CPM is
thus rendered TRUE, line TS4 (FIG. 103A) remains
TRUE. Thus, in response to lines CPM and TS4 being
TRUE, a "CPM" subcommand is thereafter executed,
whereby the quotient now stored in memory at the address specified by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is read out and complemented, and the complement thereof stored in the memory address specified
by section 4 of the instruction register. Upon completion
of the just-initiated "CPM" subcommand, the state of
flipflop 6084 is again reversed, so that lines CPM and
TS4 are both rendered FALSE thereby.
As shown in FIG. 103B, if the state of line OBN is
TRUE, indicating that the algebraic sign of the quotient
is positive, the state of flipflop 6107 is reversed, and line
SID is thereby rendered TRUE upon completion of the
previously-initiated "BM" subcommand; otherwise, the
state of flipflop 6107 is not so revel'sed until the previously initiated "CPM" subcommand is completed.
However, when line STD is finally rendered TRUE, line
TSS is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, a "STD"
subinstruction is thereafter executed, whereby the contents of section 5 of the instruction register is stored in
the word-selecting register, thus terminating the sequence
of events initiated in response to a "DIY" instruction.

During the execution of a "CFM" instruction, the
values of the two words stored in memory at the addresses specified by the contents of sections 2 and 3 of
the instruction register are compared with each other. G3
If the value of the word stored in memory at the address
specified by section 2 of the instruction register is equal
to or larger than the value of the word stored in memory at the addre'ss specified by section 3 of the instruction
register, the address of the next instmction word is spec- 70
ified by section 4 of the instruction register. However,
if the absolute value of the word stored in memory at
the address specified by section 2 of the instruction register is less than the value of the word stored in memory
at the addre's8 specified by section 3 of the instruction 75

Upon completion of the execution of the previously
initiated "MI" word-cycle, during which time the next
insruotion word is read out from the particular address
in memory specified by the contents of the word-selecting
register and thereafter stored in the instruction register,
if the contents of section 1 of the instruction register
thereafter corresponds to the code designation for a
"CFM" instruction (i.e., "15"), the state of line CFM
is rendered TRUE in the manner previously described
with respect to FIG. 56, and, as a result, a "CFM" instruction is thereafter executed in the following manner:
With reference to the composite logical diagram shown
in FIG. 104, at TIME-l after line MI is rendered TRUE
at the beginning of the previously-initiated "MI" wordcycle, the states of flipflops 6095 and 6096 are reversed,
so that lines OBM and aEN are respectively rendered
FALSE thereby. When line MIN is subsequently rendered FALSE upon completion of the previously-initiated
"Ml" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6091 is reversed,
and line MA is thereby rendered TRUE. When line MA
is thus rendered TRUE, line TS2 is likewise rendered
TRUE. Consequently, a "MA" word-cycle is thereafter
exeouted whereby the word stored in memory at the addres·s specified by section 2 of the instru,tion register is
read out and stored in address-A; simultaneously therewith, the word being read out from memory is copied
digit by digit into the "J" digit-register. Upon completion of the "MA" word-cycle, if the tenth-order digit of
the word just read out from memory is a "9," indicating
that the algebraic sign of the word is negative, the state
of line OEM remains FALSE, indicative of the negative
algebraic sign of the word just read from memory. However, if the algebraic sign of the word just read from
memory is positive, so that line (19)' is TRUE, the state

Therefore, if it is assumed that the value of the word

memory at the address specified by section 3 of the instruction register are of unequal magnitudes, so that line ZN is
rendered TRUE upon completion of the "RSB" subcommand, the state of flipflop 6096 is reversed, and line
OBN is rendered TRUE thereby. Also, when line RSB
is thus rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6107 is
reversed, so that line STD is rendered TRUE thereby.
In response ,to lines STD and OBN simultaneously being
TRUE, line TS4 is likewise rendered TRUE. Consequently, a "STD" subinstruction is thereafter executed,
whereby the contents of section 4 of the instruction
register is stored in the word-selecting register. However,
if it is assumed that the values of the two words stored
in memory at the addresses specified by sections 2 and 3
of the instruction register are of equal magnitudes, as
indicated by line ZN being rendered FALSE, the state
of line OBN rema,ins FALSE upon completion of the
previously-initiated "RSB" subcommand. Consequently,
when line STD is rendered TRUE simultaneously with
line (OBN)', the state of line TS5 is likewise rendered
TRUE. Consequently, a "STD" subinstruction is thereafter executed whereby the contents of section 5 of the
instruction register is stored in the word-selecting register.

87. Detailed Description of EPT instructions
By means of the execution of but a single "EPT" instruction, from one to one hundred words read from
punched paper tape are stored in sequentiaUy-numbered
addresses in memory. During the first phase of the
"EPT' subprogram, the paper tape is caused to be translated in a forward direction, during which time data information is read therefrom ,if the value of the low-order
digit of section 2 of the instruc,tion register is a "0"; bowever, if the low-order digit is a "1," the paper tape is
caused to be translated in a reverse direction (i.e., rewound), during which time only symbol information is
read therefrom.
As ,previously described with respeot to FIG. 88C, the
total number of words read from the paper tape, to be
subsequently stored ,in sequentially-numbered addresses
in memory,is determined by the number of ten-digit
words punched in the paper tape between "end-of-frame"
(EOF) or "alternate-instruction" (AI) symbols. That
is, the words sequentially read from the tape are stored
in sequentially numbered addresses in memory until either
an HEOF" symbol or an "AI" symbol is detected. When
an "EOF" symbol is detected, zeros are automatically
stored in ,the remaining higher-order digital positions of
the last address, and the computer thereafter proceeds
to carry out the dictates of the next instruc60n word
stored in memory at the address specified by the contents
of section 5 of the instruction register. During the tapereading operation, the first digit read from the tape is
stored in the first-order digital position of the address in
memory specified by the contents of section 3 of the
instruction register; the next digit read is stored in the
second-order digital position thereof; and so on, until
the address specified by the contents of section 3 of the
instruction register ,is completely filled. Thereafter, section 3 of the instruction register is incremented by a count
of "1," and the next ten digits read from the tape are
stored in the next-higher-orderaddress in memory, the
above-described sequence of events being sequentially
repeated until an "EOF" symbol is detected.

However, when an "alternate-instruction" (AI) symbol
is detected, zeros are first stored in any remaining digital
positions of the last operable address when tbe "AI"
symbol is first detected, and, immediatelythcreafter, the
computer proceeds to carry out the dictates of the next
instruction word stored in memory at the address specified
by the contents of section 4 of the instruction register.
If, however, the digit stored in the low-order digital position of section 2 of the instruction register is a "1" instead
10 of a "0," the paper tape is caused to be translated in a
reverse direction until an alternate-instruction symbol is
detected, at which time the tape is brought to a standstill,
and the computer immediately proceeds to carry out the
dictates of the next instruction word stored 1n memory
15 at the address specified by the contents of section 5 of the
instruction register.
Listed below in somewhat tabular form, and also graphically illustrated by the flow diagram of FIG. 107S, is a
step-by-step description of the various previously de20 scribed subinstructions to which the computer is sequentially responsive in executing a "EPT" instruction:

Upon completion of the execution of the previously

memory specified by the contents of the word-selecting
register and stored in the instruction register, if the contents of section 1 of the instruction register thereafter corresponds to the code designation for an "EPT" instruction
75 (i.e., "17"), the state of line EPT is rendered TRUE in

3,112,394

221
the manner previously described with respect to FIG. 56,
and, as an result, a "EPT" instruction is thereafter executed in the following manner.
It is to be noted at the outset, howevcr, that the particular sequence of operations carried out during the execution of an "EPT" instruction is dependent, not only upon
the contents of section 2 of the instruction register, but
also upon the condition of the paper-tape reader when the
"EPT" instruction is first initiated, as previously described
with respect to that portion of the preceding description
relating to the format of an "EPT" instruction word. For
example, a different sequence of operations is executed
when the "EPT" instruction is first initiated if the contents
of section 2 of the instruction register is "00" and a data
digit is positioned over the tape reading head; if the contents of section 2 is "00" and an "alternate-instruction"
symbol digit is positioned over the reading head; if the
contents of section 2 is "00" and an "end-of-frame"
symbol digit is positioned over the reading head; if the
contents of section 2 is "01" and an "end-of-frame"
symbol digit is positioned over the reading head; or if lh~
tape unit is in a rewinding cycle of operation.
Reference is now made to FIGS. 106A and 10GB,
wherein there is illustrated a composite logical diagram of
particular portions of the computer circuitry utilized in
executing an "EPT" instruction, and additional reference
is 'also made to FIG. 88C, wherein a fragmentary portion
of the particular perforated tape utilized by a conventional
paper-tape reader is diagrammatically illustrated.
It is again to be noted that the particular paper-tapereading mechanism utilized by the present computer is a
well-known photo-electric type, commercially available
as Model No. 903, at present manufactured by Potter Instrument Company, Inc. The circuitry contained within
the paper-tape reader is conventionally connected in such
a way that lines Ta through Td are respectively rendered
TRUE during a reading operation in response to a perforation located in a corresponding one of data channels
# 1 through #4; line TDA is rendered TRUE in response
to a lack of a perforation in channel #6, indicating the
presence of a data digit over the reading head; line EOF
is rendered TRUE in response to a perforation located
in channel #8; line AI is rendered TRUE in response to
a perforation located in channel #7; line TCL is rendered
TRUE when a perforation is sensed in clock channel
CLK; and line REW is rendered TRUE each time the
tape unit is in a rewinding cycle of operation.
At the first TIME-l after the "EPT" instruction is initiated, the state of flipflop 6061 is reversed, and line TH
is thereby rendered TRUE; at the second TIME-I, the
state of flipflop 6061 is again reversed, and line TH is
thereby rendered FALSE; at the third TIME-l the state
flipflop 6061 is aagin reversed, so that line TH is thereby
rendered TRUE; and so on. Each time line TH is rendered TRUE, lines TSJ and JM are likewise rendered
TRUE. Therefore, if it is now assumed that "00" is
stored in section 2 of the instruction register and that one
of the data digits "0" through "9" is positioned over the
reading head when the "EPT" instruction is first initiated,
the output of gate 1570 experiences a TRUE-to-FALSE
reversal of state upon completion of the previously-initiated "MI" word-cycle when line MIN is thereafter rendered FALSE. As a result, the state of flipflop 6087 is
reversed, so that line GC is rendered TRUE thereby.
However, approximately forty microseconds later, at
TIME-I, the state of flipflop 6087 is reversed by gate
1571, so that line GC is rendered FALSE thereby. Also,
when line MIN is rendered FALSE upon completion of
the previously-initiated "MI" word-cycle, the state of flipflop 6098 is reversed, so that line ROS is thereby rendered TRUE. After line ROS is rendered TRUE, the
state of flipflop 6061 is reversed when line GC is rendered FALSE, and, as a result, line TH is rendered TRUE
thereby and remains TRUE for a period of approximately
two hundred microseconds, at which time the state of

flipflop 6061 is again reversed, so that line TH is thereby
rendered FALSE. As shown in FIG. 61, the state of line
AD is rendered FALSE at TIME-3 after line TH is rendered TRUE, and thereby causes the digit-counter to be
incremented from a count of "9" to a count of "0."
During the two hundred-microsecond interval during
which time line TH is TRUE, line MXW (FIG. 60) is
rendered TRUE each time the binary bit indicating output
of the serializer is indicative of a binary "I" as evidenced
by line TDS being rendered TRUE. Consequently, in
response to lines TSJ and 1M both being rendered TRUE
when TH is rendered TRUE, a "1M" digit-cycle is initiated, so that the data digit read from the tape is thereafter stored directly into memory at the first-order digital
position of the address indicated by the contents of section 3 of the instruction register. Thereafter, the state
of flipflop 6061 (FIG. l06A) is reversed and lines TH,
TS3, and 1M are rendered FALSE thereby.
It is to be noted that, even though line JM is thus rendered TRUE, any digit previously stored in the "J" digitregister is not stored in memory in the normal manner via
the "1M" digit-cycle, due to the fact that the output of
gate 1090 is rendered FALSE all during the execution of
an "EPT" instruction. Consequently, line JM is rendered
TRUE only to cause a digit cycle to be initiated, so that
the digit read from the tape is directly stored in memory
via gate 1092, which is controlled by the "EPT" instruction. It is also to be noted that, even though lines PTF
and PTS are rendered TRUE and FALSE, respectively,
when line ROS is rendered TRUE, thus releasing the tapebraking mechanism and thereby permitting the tape to
thereafter be translated in a forward direction at constant
velocity, sufficient time elapses before the tape actually
begins to move, due to the inertia of the moving parts of
the tape reader, to thus allow the data digit initially positioned over the reading head to be read and thereafter
stored in the designated address in memory before being
moved away from the reading head.
However, when the tape is translated in a forward direction (0 the point where the second-order digit is positioned over the reading head, line (TCL)' from the clock
channel output circuitry experiences a TRUE-ta-FALSE
reversal of state. As a result, the state of flipflop 6087 is
reversed due to a reversal of state of the output of gate
1569, and line GC is again rendered TRUE thereby. At
TIME-l thereafter, the state of flipflop 6087 is again reversed, and line GC is rendered FALSE. When line GC
is thus rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6061 is again
reversed and line TH thereafter rendered TRUE for a secand two hundred-microsecond period, during which time
the second-order digit read from the tape is stored in the
seco?d-order digital position of the address in memory
speCified by the contents of section 3 of the instruction
register. As shown in FIG. 61, at TIME-J after line TH
is re~dered. TRUE for the second time, the state of line
,~~ IS agam rendered FALSE and thereby causes the
digit-counter to be incremented from a count of "0" to a
count of "1."
~s long as line ROS remains TRUE, the above-descnbed seq~e.nce of events is sequentially repeated until
the tenth digit read from the tape is stored in the tenthorder digital position of the address in memory specified
by the contents of section 3 of the instruction register at
which time the digit-counter is incremented to a count of
"9" as indicated by line D9 being rendered TRUE. However, following the third bit-time period after line TH is
rendered TRUE, the state of line IN4 is reversed from
TRUE to FALSE. As a result, section 3 of the instruction register is incremented by a count of "I." Thereafter, t~e next group of ten digits read from the tape is
stored m mem~ry at the address now specified by the
contents of sectIOn 3 of the instruction register.
A~ter an end-of-frame or an alternate-instruction symbol IS detected, the state of flipflop 6098 is reversed due
to a reversal of state of a corresponding one of lines EOF

3,112,301

223

and AI. Consequently, line ROS is rendered FALSE and
thereby prevents line MXW (FIG. 60) from thereafter
being rendered TRUE. After line (ROS)' is thus rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6061 is continued to be
reversed at each TIME-l and thereby causes line TH to
be rendered TRUE for successive two hundred-microsecond periods until the digit-counter reaches a count of
"9." However, in the event the digit-counter is already
at a count of "9" when a symbol is detected, indicating
that the address specified by the contents of section 3 of
the instruction register is completely filled with significant digits, the state of flipflop 6061 is prevented by line
(D9)' from being so reversed. Consequently, a zero is
stored in each of the higher-order digital positions remaining unfilled in the last-designated address when a
symbol is detected.
When line ROS is thus renderedF ALSE, line PTF is
rendered FALSE and line PTS is simultaneously rendered
TRUE to thereby cause immediate energization of the
forward tape-breaking mechanism, so that the paper tape
is brought to a sudden standstill. Also atter line (ROS)'
is rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6107 is reversed
when line AN is subsequently rendered FALSE, indicating completion of the previously-initiated "JM" digitcycle. When line STD is thus rendered TRUE, one of
lines TS4 or TS5 is simultaneously rendered TRUE,
depending upon whether the symbol just detected is an
alternate-instruction symbol or an end-of-frame symbol.
If the character just detected is an alternate-instruction
symbol, the state of flipflop 6095 is reversed, and line
OBM is rendered TRUE. However, if the character
just detected is an end-of-frame symbol, the state of line
OBM remains FALSE.
It is evident, therefore, that when line STD is rendered
TRUE, line TS4 is likewise rendered TRUE if an alternate-instruction symbol is detected, whereas line TS5
is rendered TRUE if an end-of-frame symbol is detected.
In response to lines STD and TS4 being rendered TRUE,
a "SID" subinstruction is thereafter executed, whereby
the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is
stored in the word-selecting register, whereas, in response
to lines SID and TSS being rendered TRUE, a "STD"
subinstruction is thereafter executed, whereby the contents of section 5 of the instruction register is stored in
the word-selecting register, thus terminating the sequence
of events initiated in response to the "EPT" instruction.
It is next assumed that the contents of section 2 of the
instruction register is "00" and an alternate-instruction
symbol is positioned over the reading head when the
"EPT" instruction is first initiated. As before, ,the state
of flipflop 6098 is reversed, so that line ROS is rendered
TRUE upon completion of the previously-initialed "MI"
word-cycle. As a result of line ROS thus being rendered
TRUE, line PTF is rendered TRUE, whereas line PTS
is rendered FALSE thereby. Consequently, the fonvard
braking mechanism of the paper-tape reader is de-energized, so that ,the paper tape is thereafter translated in
a forward direction at a constant velocity. However, as
soon as the tape is transLated forward, so that the alternate-instruction symbol is no longer disposed over the
reading head, line AI is rendered FALSE, and, as a result,
the state flipflop 609'8 is again reversed, so that line ROS
is rendered FALSE thereby. In ,addition, when line AI
is thus rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6095 is also
reversed, so that line OBM is rendered TRUE thereby.
In response to line (ROSY initially being rendered
FALSE, the state of flipflop 6107 is reversed, so that line
SID is rendered TRUE thereby. Therefore, when line
OBM is subsequently rendered TRUE as a result of the
alternate-instruction symbol being moved away from the
reading head, line TS4 is likewise rendered TRUE. In
response to lines S'J1D and TS4 being rendered TRUE, a
"STD" subinstruction is thereafter executed, whereby
the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is
stored in the word-selecting register. In addition, line

PTF is rendered FALSE and line PTS is rendered TRUE
as a result of line ROS being rendered FALSE. Consequently, the forward braking mechanism is again energized in a manner such that the paper tape is brought
to a sudden standstill.
It is next assumed that, when the "EPT" instruction
is first initiated, the contents of section 2 of the instruction register is "00" and ,an end-of-frame symbol is disposed over the reading head. As before, the state of
flipflop @98 is reversed when line MIN is rendered
FALSE upon completion of the previously-initiated "MI"
word-cycle, so that line ROS is rendered TRUE thereby.
As a result of line ROS thus being rendered TRUE, line
PTP is likewise rendered TRUE, whereas line PTS is
rendered FALSE. Consequently, the forward braking
mechanism is de-energized, so that the tape is thereafter
caused to be translated in a forward direction at a constant speed, during which time the data information read
from the tape is stored in memory in the same manner
as previously described. When an alternate-instruction
symbol is subsequently detected, the states of both of
flipflops 6095 and 6098 are reversed, so that line OBM
is rendered TRUE and line ROB is rendered FALSE
thereby. As a result of line ROS being rendered FALSE,
line PTS is rendered TRUE, whereas line PTF is rendered FALSE. Consequently, the forward braking mechanism is energized, so that the tape is brought to a standstill. When line AN is subsequently rendered FALSE
after line (ROS)' is rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop
6107 is reversed, so that line STD is rendered TRUE.
As line OBM is also TRUE at this time, line TS4 is
rendered TRUE when line SID is thus rendered TRUE.
Thereafter, 'a "STD" subinstruction is executed, whereby
the contents of section 4 of the instruction register is
stored in the word-selecting register. it is to be noted
that, if an end-of-frame symbol had been detected, instead of an alternate-instruction symbol, the state of flipflop 6098 is reversed, as before, and thereby causes the
forward braking mechanism to be energized. However,
a "STD" sub instruction is thereafter executed, whereby
the contents of section 5 of the instruction register, instead
of section 4, is stored in the word-selecting register.
It is next assumed that, when the "EPT" instruction
is first initiated, the contents of section 2 of the instruction register is "01" and 'a data digit is disposed over the
reading head. Therefore, when line ROS is rendered
TRUE upon completion of the previously-initialed "MI"
word-cycle, as before, line PTR is rendered TRUE and
line PTS is rendered FALSE. Consequently, the reverse
tape braking mechanism is de-energized, so that the tape
is thereafter translated in a reverse direction at a maximum constant speed. After the tape is being translated
in a reverse direction, line GC is sequentially being rendered TRUE and FALSE by flipflop 6087, as before.
However, due to the fact that the low-order digit of section 2 of the instruction register is now a "I", so that the
state of line Lrp is FALSE, the state of line TH remains
FALSE and thereby prevents 'any data read from the
tape from being stored in memory at the address specified
by section 3 of the instruction register. When an endof-fmme symbol is subsequently detected, the state of
flip-flop 6098 is again reversed, and line ROS is rendered
FALSE thereby. When line ROS is thus rendered
FALSE, line PTR is likewise rendered FALSE, while
line PTS remains FALSE and the tape continues to be
rewound. Approximately forty microseconds after line
(ROS)' is rendered TRUE, the state of flipflop 6107 is
reversed, and lines STD and TS5 are both rendered
TRUE thereby. Consequently, a "STD" subinstruction
is thereafter executed, whereby the contents of section 5
of the instruction register is stored in the word-selecting
register.
As previously mentioned, line REW is rendered TRUE
each time the tape is being tran&lated in a reverse direclion. Consequently, while the tape is being trnnslated

3,112,39·1

225

226

in a reverse direction and the computer is in the process
of executing another instruction than "EPT," if an alternate-instruction symbol is subsequently detected, so
that line AI is rendered TRUE, line PTS is rendered
TRUE to effect immediate energization of the reverse
braking mechanism and thereby cause the tape to be
brought to a sudden standstill. . .
. ..
.
When the "EPT" instructIOn IS firstlmtJated, If the
contents of section 2 of the instruction register is "01"
and an end-of-frame symbol is disposed over the reading
head, line ROS is rendered TRUE, as before, upon completion of the previously-initiated "M.l" word.-cy~le.
When line ROS is thus rendered TRUE, hne PTR IS likewise rendered TRUE, and, as a result, the reverse braking mechanism is de-energized, so th~t th.e paper tape is
thereafter translated in a reverse dIrectIOn, as before.
When an end-of-frame symbol is thereafter detected, the
state of flipflop 6098 is again reversed, and l~nes ROS and
PTR are both rendered FALSE. ApproxImately forty
microseconds ·after line ROS is rendered FALSE, lines
SID and TS5 are rendered TRUE by a reversal of state
of flipflop 6107. As a result, the ,:ontents of sectio~ 5
of the instruction register is stored III the word-selecting
register. The paper tape, however, continues t? be [ra.nslated in a reverse direction until an alternate-instructIOn
symbol is detected, at which time line PTS is :endered
TRUE. As previously described, as a result of hnes. PTS
and PTR 'being rendered TRUE and FALSE, respectively,
the reverse braking mechanism is energized and thereby
causes the paper tape to be brought to a sudden standstill.
It will next be assumed that, when the "EPT" instruction is first initiated the contents of section 2 of the instruction register i~ "01" and 'an alternate-instruction
symbol is disposed over the reading head. As befo:e,
line ROS is rendered TRUE by a reversal of ·state of flipflop 6&98 when line MIN is rendered FALSE upon completion of the previously-initiated. "MI" :",ord-cycle.
When line ROS is rendered TRUE, hne PTR IS rendered
TRUE and thereby causes de-energization of the reverse
braking mechanism, 80 that the paper tape is thereafter
translated in a reverse direction.
When an end-of-frame symbol is subsequently detected,
the state of flipflop 6098 is reversed, so that lines ROS
,and PTR are both rendered FALSE thereby. Approximately forty microseconds after line ROS is rend~red
FALSE, the state of flipflop 6107 is reversed, so that hnes
STD and TS5 are both rendered TRUE. Thereafter, a
"STD" subinstmction is executed, whereby the contents
of section 5 of the instruction register is stored in the
word-selecting register. Upon subsequent detection of
an alternate-instruction symbol, line PTS is rendered
TRUE and thereby causes energization of the reverse
braking mechanism, whereby the tape is brought to a
sudden standstill.
Finally, it is assumed that the paper tape mechanism is
in a rewinding cycle of operation when the "EPT" instruc,tion is first initiated and "00" is stored in section 2 of the
instruction register. As before, the state of flipflop 6098
is reversed and line ROS rendered TRUE when line MIN
is subsequently rendered FALSE upon completion of the
previously-initiated "MI" word-cycle. When an alternate-instruction symbol is thereafter detected, the states
of flipflop 6098 and 6095 are both r~versed, so that lines
ROS and OBM are rendered FALSE and TRUE, respectively. However, approximately forty microseconds after
line ROS is rendered FALSE, the state of flipflop 6107 is
reversed, so that lines STD and TS4 are both rendered
TRUE thereby. Asa result, the contents of section 4 of
the instruction register is thereafter stored in the wordselecting register. Also, when the alternate-instruction
symbol is detected, line PTS is rendered TRUE and thereby causes the reverse braking mechanism to be energized
and the tape to be brought to a sudden standstill.

There have previously be~a described in detail various
modes of operations 'capable of being executed by the
computer whereby words indexed into th~ accounti~g
machine keyboard, or taken from the totalizers therem,
are subsequently stored in selected addresses in memory
via execution of an "EKW" instruction; whereby words
stored in selected addresses in memory are subsequently
printed out on recording media via execution of a "POW"
instruction; whereby words stored in selected addresses
in memory are magnetically recorded on a ledger card
via execution of a "ROC" instruction; whereby words are
magnetically read from a le,dger card and subsequently
stored in selected addresses in memory via execution of
an "ECW" instruction; and whereby words are read from
punched paper tape and subsequently stored in selected
addresses in memory via execution of an "EPT" instruction.
There will now be described another mode of operation capable of being executed by the computer whereby
wmds stored in selected addresses in memory, or either
indexed into the keyboard or taken from the totalizers of
the accounting machine, are subsequently recorded on
punched paper tape.
H is assumed that, prior to the initiation of a punching
cycle of operation, the carriage of the accounting machine is stationary and is located in a columnar position
such that plate 214 (FIG. 13), hence switch-operating
studs 215 and 216, is positioned adjacent switch plungers
217 and 218, as illustrated by the dotted lines therein.
It is further assumed that the 'paper-tape-punching mechanism (FIG. :44H) is properly loaded with a suitable supply of paper tape, and that switch ST43 (FIG. 86) has
previously been closed by the operator, thus causing the
direct-current power supply, which supplies the necessary
unidirectional operating potential to the control circuitry
of the paper-lape-punching mechanism. to be energized
thereby in a well-known manner. Upon the machine
carriage reaching the just-assumed position, the forward
extension of plate 214 (FIG. 13) engages the roller portion of the arm 153 in a manner such the arm 153 is
deflected counter-clockwise, as viewed, to the extent that
switch SC41 is actuated thereby. When switch SC41 is
(hus actuated, contacts SC41-1 and SC41-2 (FIG. 86)
are closed, and contacts SC41-3 (FIG. 82) are opened
thereby.
It will now be assumed that a cycle of operation of
the accounting machine has just be'en initiated in response to an enter-keyboard-words (EKW), print-outwords (POW), or motor bar (MB) instruction, so that
the amount racks are subsequently differentially positioned indicJtive of the word read out from memory, or
just entered in the keyboard, of taken from a totalizer
of the accounting machine.
With continued reference to FIG. 86 and also to the
timing chart shown in FIG. 87C, ,after a cycle of opuation of thc accounting machine is initiated, so that
the main CRm shaft 588 of the machine is rotated clockwise, as viewed in FIG. 44B, through an angular distance of approximately 126 degrees from the position
shown, the contacts of switch SC49 are closed due to
the engagement of the cam 592 with the actuator thereof. Closure of the contacts of switch SC49 completes
the circuit throur;h solenoid L47 (FIG. 86) and thus
effects energizatio-n thereof. "Vith reference to FIG. 13,
as a result of solenoid L47 thus being energized, its
orm3ture is caused to be rotated counter-clockwise, as
vic'i'icd, thereby causing the stud 226 to deflect the lever
223 clockwise and thus shift the switch basket upwardly until selected ones of the plungers 217 and 218 are
respectively engaged with predetermined ones of the studs
215 and 216. As a result of such engagement, predetermined ones of the plungers 218 in the rightmost row

3,112,394

227

228

and predetermined ones of the plungers 217 in the leftmost row are simultaneously depressed and latched in
their downwardly-deflected positions, and, additionally,
remaining ones of any previously-depressed and -latched
plungers are caused to be released simultaneously therewith. After the main cam shaft of the machine is rot'ated through an angular distance of approximately 168
degrees, the movable arm of switch SC48 (FIG. 44B)
is effectively deflected downwardly due to the engagement of the cam 592 with its actuator. When the movable arm of switch SC48 is deflected downwardly from
the position shown in FIG. 86, solenoid L47 is de-energized, whereas solenoids L45 and L46 are both caused
to be energized thereby. With reference back to FIG.
13, when solenoid L47 is thus de-energized, thc switch
basket is spring-urged back to its initial starting position, as shown. As 'a result of the basket return, the
electrically-non-conductive tip 22.8, carried on the lowermost end of each of the plungers 217 and 218, engages
and thus deflects downwardly the topmost one of a corresponding stack of switch blades 229, which stacks are
arranged in twenty rows, with each row corresponding
to a different one of the plungers 217 and 218. It is
appreciated, of course, that there are ten of the plungers
217 arranged in a leftmost row ·and there are ten of the
plungers 218 arranged in a rightmost row. When the
uppermost one of the switch blades 229 is deflected downwardly, all of the switch blades located in that pm·ticular stack are electrically connected together until the
solenoid L47 is ·again energized and thereby again callses
the switch basket to be moved upwardly in the same manner as previollsly described.
With reference to FIG. 45D, there is illustrated therein a block diagram of the electrical circuitry which is
utilized by the paper-~ape-punching mechanism and
which is substantially identical with that shown and described in co-pending United States patent application
Serial No. 634,260, filed by Richard C. Simmerman and
:rvlelvin T. Roudebush on January 15, 1957, and assigned to the present assignee, now United States Patent No. 2,922,141, issued January 19, 1960. The tapepunch control circuitry, the rear form bar circuitry, and
the rack read-out circuitry are herein shown and described in detail with respect to FIGS. 86, 13, and 3B,
respectively. Due to the fact that a detailed description
of the program selection, serializer, ·and punch magnet
control circuitry is to be found in the just-mentioned copending application, a further detailed description thereof is not deemed necessary to again be given herein.
Suffice it to say that the pattern of selective closure of
the switches 229 (FIG. 13) causes a predetermined tapepunching program within the paper tape recorder to be
selected in the same manner as described in the just-mentioned co-pending application.
Just prior to de-energization of solenoid L47, the variOUS8molmt racks are assumed to be differentially positioned indicative of a word just read from memory, just
entered from the accounting machine keyboard, or just
taken from a selected one of (he totalizers of the machine, all in the same manner as previously described
with respect to the "EKW," "POW," and "MB" instructions, so that the aligner bar 72 (FIG. 3A) is in engagement with the :aligner notches formed on the lower end
of the member 58. Thus, with reference now to FIGS.
3B and 9, when the solenoids L45 and L46 are energized, the shaft 197 is rotated clockwise, as viewed in
FIG. 3B, so that the switch basket 171 is lowered thereby to a position sufficient to cause engagement of the
lowermost end of one of the spring clip members 18·" in
each of the ten columns .thereof, as illustrated in FIG.
9, with a corresponding raised cam surJiace 205, which
is formed on the topmost side of the rightmost end of
each of the extensions of the: amount mcks. Consequently, due to such engagement of the spring clip mcm-

bel'S 184 with the cams 205, corresponding ones of the
members 184, one in each column, are latched in an upwardly-deflected ,position, all in the manner previously
described. Thereafter, the latched clip members coIlectively represent the differentially-set digital valued positions of the amount racks.
After the main cam shaft of the accounting machine
is rotv.ted an angular distance of approximately 182 degrees, the actuator or the switch SC49 (FIG. 44B) is
released from engagement with the cam 592. As a resuit of the release of the actuator of the switch SC49,
the contacts thereof me thereby opened. With reference
back to FIG. 86, when the contacts of switch SC49 are
opened, as shown, solenoids L45 and L46 are de-energized thereby. As a result of solenoids L45 and L46
thus being de-energized, the lower switch basket 171
(FIG. 3B) is caused to be spring-urged upwardly, so
that all latched ones of the c1ipmembers 184 are thereby brought into cnga.gement with, and thus short-circuit,
corresponding ones of the spring-clip members 177, all
in the same manner as previously described with respect
to FiG. 12.
When the main cam shaft of the accounting machine
is rotated an angular distance of approximately 213 degrees, the cam 593 (FIG. 44G) engages the actuator of
~witch SC42, so that its normally-opened contacts are
closed thereby. With reference to FIG. 86, due to the
fact that relay solenoid K3 is normally energized, so
that contacts K3-3 are closed thereby, relay solenoid Kl
is caused to be ener.gizcd when the contacts of switch
SC42 are thus closed. When relay solenoid K1 is energized, contacts Kl-l are opened and thereby cause a
300-ohm resistor to be connected in series with relay
solenoid Kl, con~acts Kl-2 are closed, contacts Kl-3
are opened, contacts KI--4 are closed, contacts KI-5
are opened Gnd thereby cause relay solenoid K3 to be
de-energized, contacts KI-6 are closed and thereby
maintain relay solenoid Kl energized,and contacts
Kl-7 (FIG. 82) are opened and thereby cause the state
of line GO to be rendered FALSE, thus indicating that
a punching cycle of operation is just initiated. At approximately 264 degrees of rotation of the main cam
sh"ft, the actuator of switch SC42 (FIG. 44G) is reiensed by the cam 593, so that the contacts of switch
scn are allowed to open as illustrated in FIG. 86.
After relay solenoid K1 is energized, the accounting
machine independently continues to complete its cycle
of operation in the same manner as previously described.
However, in response to relay solenoid Kl thus being
energized, a cycle of operation of the punching mechanism is thereafter executed in the same manner as described in detail in the before-referred-to co-pending application Serial No. 634,260, whereby the amount collectively represented by the short-circuited conditions of
the spring clip members 177 is caused to be recorded
on the paper tape via the paper-tape-punching mechanism shown and described in detail with respect to FIG.
44H.
If it is assumed that the word indexed into the accounting machine keyboard, as collectively represented
by the short-circuited conditions of the spring clip members 177 (FIG. 3B), is a negative amount, as indicated
by a depression of the reverse-entry key, the movable
arm of switch SC46 (FIG. 44A) is actuated, so that
its normally opened contacts are closed upon depression of the reverse entry key REV. Wi,th reference to
FIG. 86, as the contacts of switch SC46 me thus closed
prior to the closure of the contacts of switch SC42, relay
solenoid K5 is energized simul~aneously 'with relay solenoid Kl when the contacts of switch SC42 are subsequently closed in the manner just described. When relay solenoid K5 is thus energized, contacts K5-1 are
opened, whereas contacts K5-2 are closed and thereby
maintain relay solenoid K5 energized even though COll-

tacts SC42 are subsequently opened. In response to rclay solenoid K5 thus being energized, a symbol representing an opposite algebr,ai'~ sign to that which was program-selected is punched in the paper tape.
However, if it is assumed that the word stored in
memory to be subsequently read out and recorded on
punched paper tape is the complement of a negative
number, a different sequence of events from that just
described is initiated. As previously described with respect to FIG. 37, a credit-balance cycle of operation is
automatically initiated when solenoid CBS is selectively
energized. Also, when credit balance key "CR. BAL."
(FIG. 2) is depressed, a credit-balance operation is carried
out when 'a cycle of operation of the 'accounting machine
is subsequently initiated.
As previously described with respect to FIGS. 44D
and 44F, when a credit-balance cycle of operation is
initiated and the main cam shaft thereafter rotaled an
angular distance of approximately thirty degrees, the
overdraft cam &haft 601 is coupled through the gear 604
to the main cam shaft 588 in such a manner that the
overdraft cam shaft is thereafter rotated at exactly one
half the speed of the main cam shaft. Thus, when a
machine cycle is initiated and the overdraft cam shaft
601 thereafter is rotated an angular distance of approximately ten degrees, the normally-closed contacts of
switch SC45 (FIG. 44C) are released by the cam 612
and are thus opened thereby. With reference to FIG.
86, when the contacts of switch SC45 are opened, relay
solenoid Kl is prevented from being energized and thereby initiating a tape-recording operation during the first
cycle of the credit-balance operation of the accounting
machine. However, after the overdraft cam shaft is rotated through an angular distance of approximately 165
degrees, during which time the main cam shaft is rotated one complete revolution, the contacts of switch
SC45 'are caused to be dosed by the cam ,612 ,and remain
closed during the second cycle of the credit-balance operation of the accounting machine. Thus, relay solenoid Kl is allowed to be energized in the manner previously described only during the second cycle of operation of the accounting machine when a credit-balance
operation is being carried out.
After the overdraft c'am shaft 601 is rotated an angular distance of approximately 260 degrees, the normallyopened contacts of switch SC47 (FIG. 44E) are caused
to be closed by the cam 613. With reference to FIG.
86, when the contacts of switch SC47 are closed, relay
solenoid KS is thereafter permitted to be energized when
contacts SC42 are subsequently closed and thereby cause
energization of rel,ay solenoid Kl in the same manner as
previously described. Energization of relay solenoid
K5 causes contacts K5-2 to be closed and thereby maintain relay solenoid K5 energized, as before. After relay
solenoid K5 is ener~gized, the cycle of operation subse..
quently carried out is exactly the same as just described
with respect to the "reverse-entry" cycle of operation.
After the overdraft shaft is rotated an angular distance
of approximately 290 degrees, relay solenoid K5 remains
energized even though the contacts of switch S047 are
caused to be opened by the cam 613.

89. Operator Controls
As previously mentioned with respect to FIG. 1, lo- 65
cated on the front of the right-hand portion of the computer oabinet is a control panel 15, having mounted
thereon four push button controls, S¢1-S¢2, Sll-S12,
SP1-SP2, and RSl, each of ,which, when depressed, 70
initiates ,a particular cycle of operation of the computer.
That is, when either of the four just-mentioned push
buttons is depressed, the particular cycle of operation
associated with that particular push button is thereafter
carried out, regardless of the particular portion of the 75

program the computer is currently in the process of
executing.
For example, when push button S¢1-S¢2 is depressed,
the word-selecting register is preset to "00" via line PW.p.
Immediately thereafter, the word stored in memory address "¢rfJ" is read out and stored in the instruction register, and the particular cycle of operation dictated by that
particular instruction word is thereafter executed. When
push button SU-S12 is depressed, the word-selecting
register is preset to "01," via line PWl, and the particular
cycle of operation dictated by the word stored in memory
address ".pI" is immediately executed there::fter. However, when push button SP1-SP2 is depressed, the instruction register is preset to 0000009900. Immediately
thereafter, the particular cycle of operation dictated by
thc contents of the instruction register is executed; i.e.,
"Enter-keyboard-words into memory addresses ¢¢
through 99 with an upper motor bar 'touch' operation
and a normal decimal-point lamp illumination." When
reset push button RSI is depres!lCd, the states of substantially all of the control-counter flipflops are simultaneously so conditioned that the reference outputs thereof are
thereafter rendered FALSE via line (RS)'. Thereafter,
the computer remains in a standby or neutral condition
until one of push buttons S¢l-S¢Z, S11-S12, or SPlSP2 is subsequently depressed. Also, as previously described, when the computer is first turned "ON," a neutral or standby condition is effected by line (RS) '. After
the computer is in a neutral or standby condition, depression of one of push buttons S¢I-S¢2, Sll-S12, or
SPl-SP2 is necessary in order to initiate a subsequent
cycle of operation thereof.
Located on the right side of the control panel 15 are
two additional push buttons, ATI-AT2 and MN1MN2, which, when depressed, respectively condition the

The insNuction words initially stored in memory ad- 70
dresses 7 rp through 73 are utilized only one time in the
program; Le., at the beginning thereof. After the contents of memory addresses 7rp through 73 are once utilized,t!he addresses are thereafter utilized for subsequent
75
storage of data words therein, as illustrated above.

It is further assumed that the journal sheet and the
pay-cheek-statement combination (FIGS. 88F and 88G)
are properly positioned in the accounting machine carriage, ready for a posting operation thereon, as illustrated in FIGS. 88D and 88E; that the just-mentioned
forms either are composed of suitable carbonless paper,
such as that currently manufactured by the present assignee as "N C R" paper, or have disposed therebetween
suitable transfer means in acrordance with conventional
p!1actice: that, in accordance with the ,teachings of the
previously-referrecl-to United States Patent No. 2,626,749, the various carriage stops are each assembled in the
manner diagrammatically illustrated in FIGS. 88D and
88E and me properly positioned on the front form bar
of the accounting machine corresponding to the columnar
format of the journal and pay-check-statement disposed
in the carriage, and also corresponding to the columnar
format of the ledger card which is subsequently to be additionally positioned in the carriage; and that an lautomatic mode of opc!1ation of the computer is desired, as
evidenced by push button ATI-AT2 (FIG. 1) being initially depressed by the operator.
Assuming that all of the above-mentioned conditions
are satisfied, the carriage return key "CAR. RET." (FIG.
2) is thereafter depressed in order to initiate a tabulatiQn cycle of operation of the acconnting machine, whereby the carriage is returned to the home position stop,
the home position stop being the leftmost stop on the
form ba'r as viewed from the front of the machine and
also as diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 88D, disposed
directly above column # I. After the carriage has
reached home position, start-preset push button SPI-SP2
(FIG. I) is deprcssed. In response to the start-preset
push button being depressed, the instruction register is
preset to 0000009900, and, in addition, enter-keyboardwords lamp "EK" (FIGS. 1 and 2) is illuminated to
provide a visual indication to the operator that the computer is now properly conditioned to sequentially receive
into memory each of the seventy-four instruction and
data words shown in the just-preceding chart. Thereafter, the just-mentioned words, starting with 04000·(){}(}70
and ending with 0500869201, are sequentially indexed
into the keyboard, and resume-program-bar rpb is depressed after each word is indexed into the keyboard.
Consequently, as a result of each of the seventy-four instruction and data words having been sequentially indexed
into the keyboard, with each being followed by a resumeprogram-bar depression, the program is thereby stored in
memory addresses ¢¢ through 73, the first instruction
word in the program (0400000070) being stored in
address-rprp, and the last instruction word in the program
(0500869201) being storeu in address-73.
After the payroll program is properly stored in memory
addresses ¢rp through 73, push button Srpl-Srp2 (FIG. I)
is depressed and thereby causes the word-selecting register to be preset to "00." Immediately thereafter, the
instruction word in address-¢¢ is read out and stored in
the instruction register. In response to a "04" thus being
stared in section 1 or the instruction register, a shift
instruction (SHF) is thereafter executed whereby the
word stored in address-¢ is simply rend .out and copied
back in address-¢¢ and the contents of section 5 of the
instruction register-Le., "70"-is thereafter stored in the
word-selecting register in the same manner as previously
described. Immedbtely thereafter, ,the instmction word
stored in address-7¢ is read out and stored in the instruction register. As the contents of section 1 of the instruction register is now "00," enter-keyboard-word lamp "EK"
is again illuminated. After the enter-keyboard-word
lamp is illuminated, the preceding payrolJ check number,
say 50230, is indexed into the keyboard and the resumeprogram-balr subsequently depressed. As a result, the
word (}000050230 is stored in nddrcss-93, and enterkeyboard-",'ord lamp "EK" is again illuminated, indicating
that another word is to be entered into the keyboard.

3,112,394

As illustrated in the top leftmost portio;} 01£ the exemplary ledger card shown in FIG. 8SA, if the fixed deductions with 'respect to the employee for this particular pay
period are union dues, community chest, insurance, and
annuity, the program number is indicated by the numeral
"I"; if the fixed deductions for this particular pay period
are insurance and annuity only, the program number is
indicated by the numeral "2"; however, if (he fixed deductions for this particular pay period are bond, credit union,
insurance, and annuity, the program number is indicated
by the numeral "3."
Therefore, if it is assumed that the fixed deductions
relating to this particular employee for this particuhr
pay period are bend, credit unit, insurance, and annuity,
a "3" is indexed into the "dollar" amount ro·.v of the
keyboard. Upon subsequent depression of the resumcprogram-bar, the word 0000000300 is stored in address-9,J,
and, immediately thereafter, the instruction word stored
in address-71 is readout and stored in the instruction
register. In response to the word now stored in the instruction register, a "SH.F" instruction is thereafter executed whereby the contents of address-94 is shifted two
digitalpcsitions to the right, and the ~·esult-i.e.,
OO{)OOOOOO3-is stored in address-95. Immediately thereafter, the word stored in addrcss-72 is re~d out and stored
in the instmction register. In response to the word now
stored in the instruction register, an "ADD" instruction
is thereafter executed, whereby the word stored in address95-i.e., OOooOOOOm-is added to the word stored in
address-31-i.e., 0897818131-and the result-i.e.,
0897818134-is stored back in address-31, which, in effect,
causes the numeral "3" to be adJed to the low-order digit
of the fifth section IOf the instruction woml stored in
address-31; thereafter the instruction word stored in
address-73 is read out and stored in the instruction register. In response to the word now stored in the ins:ruction register, a "CMA" instruction is thereafter executed,
whereby memory addresses 86 through 92 are cleared ;]nd
the instruct.ion word stored in address- 1 is thereafter
read out and stored in the instruction register.
Due to the fact lhat lll.! two-tl;.:cimal-digit number now
~tored in section 1 of th,~ instruction rcgioter is "02,"
enter-card-words lamp "EC" (FIGS. 1 :md 2) is il!nminated, thus indicating that the computer is, at this time,
properly {:onditioned and ready to receive the inform,ltion magne,tically recorded on the employee's leuger card,
which, in this instance, comprises the employee's clock
number, rate of pay, number of dcp4 is subsequently read out and stored
in the instruction register. However, if ·the sum and the
proof total are not in agreement, indicating that the information of the magnetic ledger card was not accurately
read into the computer, the word stored in ac1dress-¢1 is
subsequently read out and stored in the instmction regis-

236

ter. Thereafter, enter-card-words ,lamp "EC" is again
illuminated, indicating that a reading error has occur,red
and that the ledger card just read should be removed
manually and again be inserted into the card-handling
portion of the computer, as before.
If it is assumed that the summation of the card words
is in agreement with the proof total, so that the word
stored in address-¢4 is read out and stored in the instruction register, an "EKW" instruction is executed, whereby
the employee's dock number, indexed in amount rows
#3 through #7 of the keyboard, is stored in address-95.
Thereafter, the clock number stored in address-95 is
shifted two places to the right and stored in address-85.
Upon completion of the shifting operation, the clock numbers stored in addresses 7¢ and 85 are compared for
equality. If the clock numbers are equal, indicating that
the time card and ledger card each relates to the same
employee, ,the computer looks to address-1>7 for the next
instruction; otherwise, the computer executes the instruction dictated by the word stored in address-1>6. In carrying out the dictates of the word stored in address-1>6, the
carriage is returned to home position, and enter-card-word
lamp "EC" is again illuminated, indicating that either the
wrong ,time card or the wrong ledger card was utilized by
the operator. However, in carrying out the dictates of
the word stored in address ¢7, a "POW" instruction is
executed, whereby the program number stored in address94 is printed out in column #7, as illustrated in FIG.
88D, the low-order cent and dime digits thereof being suppressed and thus not printed.
With the aid of the just-preceding portion of the mode
of operation of the computer in executing a typical payroll progrnm being described in detail to this point, a
detailed comprehension of the remaining portion of the
program can readily be had by following the step-by-step
description thereof shown in the preceding chart, in exactly the same manner as just described. Consequently,
a further detailed description thereof would be superfluous and, accordingly, is not deemed necessary in order
to insure a full and complete comprehension and appreciation thereof. It is, however, to be appreciated that,
while a specific mode of operation and application of the
present computer has been described in detail with respect
to a typical payroll operation, it is not intended to be implied or inferred that its adaptability and applicability are
in any way limited to any specific accounting operation.
Being of a general-purpose variety, the present computer
is readily adaptable to be utilized in a highly effective
manner in substantially any of the multitude of different
present-day accounting operations.
