A hardware representation for ALGOL 60 using Creed teleprinter equipment

J. M. Gerard * and A. Sambles *

National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK

This paper describes an ALGOL 60 Hardware Representation for 5-hole paper tape Creed teleprinter equipment as used with Ferranti Pegasus and Mercury computers. This will be especially useful to those people expecting a KDF9 with Flexowriter who may wish to test ALGOL programs, since it has been designed to make the changeover as simple as possible. It also describes some of the problems of writing an Itemizer (as part of a Translator) to produce from the paper tape input the separate ALGOL items of a program (Identifiers, Logical Values, Delimiters, Numbers and Strings).
