This paper discusses the special problems involved in solving a set of simultaneous linear equations when magnetic tape is being used for auxiliary storage. An account is given of a sub-routine written to carry out this process on EDSAC 2. A description of EDSAC 2 and its auxiliary magnetic-tape equipment is given as an Appendix.
