SYMBOLIC CODING FOR THE SIMULATION OF SYSTEMS ON DIGITAL COMPUTERS
A 1953 technical report on symbolic coding for simulating systems on digital computers, prepared by Earl J. Isaac at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and issued through the Defense Technical Information Center for military and research readers. The pictures are scanned pages of machine wiring panels and coding listings, with a dense grid of lines and fields, plus a heavy distressed numeral set that the scan carries alongside them. A designer might take the rigid grid, tabular typography and worn, stencil-like numerals as raw material for technical or retro layouts.
