    The Logic Design Translator (LDT) was designed to develop logic equations for a computer from the information contained in a systems diagram and the instruction repertoire of the machine, The system is composed of three programs (written in Burroughs ALGOL 58): The translator, a timing analysis, and a term development and logic equation generator. The language used to provide the system description is composed of three main sections: The declarative, which is a linguistic description of the block diagram of a machine; an operational section, which represents most o[ the processes used in doing the programming (e.g., arithmetic statements, conditional statements, etc.); and finally a design table, which is an intermediate language used in translating a systems design block diagram into logic equations. An experiment was run while the object machine was the Burroughs D825.
