GAMLOG: a computer program for interpreting gamma-ray logs
GAMLOG is a computer program which enables a digital computer to interpret gamma-ray logs of uranium ore zones. In order to use GAMLOG the following information must be punched on IBM cards: ore block number (if applicable), hole number, critical period factor (if applicable), depth to uppermost log reading, k-factor, dead-time, correction factor (if applicable), logging scale used when gamma-ray log was recorded (counts per second per inch), reading interval (either /sup 1///sub 2/-foot or 1-foot), reading time (inches, cps uncorrected for dead-time, or cps corrected for dead-time), and finally a set of log readings starting at the top of an anomaly and going downward at fixed reading intervals. After the IBM cards have been punched and proof read, they are placed behind the GAMLOG computer program card deck together with appropriate control cards. The entire assemblage is then submitted to the computer center where data on the cards are transferred to magnetic tape for input to the IBM 7090 computer. GAMLOG results come out of the 7090 on magnetic tape which is later interpreted by a small special purpose computer coupled to a high-speed printer.
