PROJECT LIGHTNING
Abstract
Two questions are raised about the scope of Project Lightning studies. One question asks why a kilomegacycle computer more suited to scientific work has not come out of the studies. The second question poses the problem of typing several machines together. A short discussion of these two questions is included. Another problem is discussed as to how best to prepare for cost estimating a tunnel diode computer. The instruction repertoire for the large machine design was revised. Also, a first draft of an instruction repertoire for a smaller, threeaddress machine is presented. Work was begun in flow charting the instructions and trial programming input-output routines.
