PREPARATION OF PROBLEMS FOR THE BRL CALCULATING MACHINES

Abstract

The Ballistic Research Laboratories have in operation at present four large scale calculating machines: THE ENIAC, THE BELL RELAY COMPUTER, THE IBM RELAY CALCULATORS and THE DIFFERENTIAL ANALYZER. The first three are digital machines. The last is an analogue machine. This report is prepared for the information of persons proposing problems for solution by these machines. It treats the following two related topics: (a) determination of the general suitability for machine execution of a proposed method of solution. (b) general considerations on the preparation of the method for coding.
