AUTOCODER(ID:2989/aut008)

IBM generalised autocode

Country: United States

Genus: Low-level Autocoders
Sammet category: Excluded from Sammet

Autocode system for IBM 1410 to 701/702/705/7090

Hard to work out what actually happened here, as the documentation is awry. It seems that successive versions added complexity. Goldfinger continued this after leaving the NYAP program at NYU, and later continued the work on the Commercial Translator, and his work (and writing) shows a consistent theme.

702 April 1955
705-1 Dec 1956
705-3 Sept 1958

A note by Ray Saunders (see reference) suggests that a fair amount of the work had been done by people unofficially before being adopted as a product.
