In continuing work on high speed computers, drawings of all special connections in the A/sub 40/(S/sub 40/) to Q/sub 4/(R/sub 4/) area w ere completed in detail, together with a block diagram of data flow. The basic design of the assimilator, comparators, and decode logic was completed. In the circuit research program, the flow-gating system was redesigned, the transient behavior of transistors was investigated, and high-powered drivers for plus or minus 1 v swings with 20 m mu s risetimes were designed. A method for evaluation of integrals by the reduction of roundoff error in floataing point quadrature is described. In switching circuit theory, codes for correcting errors in adjacent bits of a message were derived. The addition of a mixed number input routine aad monthly uses of the Illiac are reportod. Circuitry was installed in Illiac which enables the programer to use the 8 v N (input) orders as shift orders, enabling unbiased multiplication by 2, 4, or 8 via shifting. The addition of two routines, a two-digit frequency count and a comparison post mortera routine, to the IBM 650 library is reported. (For preceding period see AeCU--1650.) (C.J.G.)
