Country: United States
Designed 1951
Genus: Symbolic assemblers
Sammet category: Excluded from Sammet

Nat Rochester's Test Assembly for the IBM 701, June 1952: a rival to the system developed by McClelland, drew on Goldstine's graphical flowcharting system, but also drawing on the Wilkes/Gill library assembly as well

Best source on full details (especially on rivalry with other assemblers) is in Bashe et al Chapter 9 (Rochester quotes are from Bashe et al)
