Brooker Autocode(ID:2803/bro002)

Machester Mark I autocode 

alternate simple view
Country: United Kingdom
Designed 1953
Published: 1955
Genus: Early Autocodes
Sammet category: Multi-purpose

Code by Tony Brooker for the Machester Mark 1, with the assistance of Cicely Popplewell, after the departure of Alan Turing.

Popplewell went with a Ferranti Mercury to the Instituto de Calculo in Argentina in 1963, where she may have started a loclaised version (under review)

Elegant columnar format.
