The first use of this language outside the computing centre was by a physicist who received the programming memorandum at 11 a.m. and returned at 3 p.m. the same day with a four-body problem of some complexity correctly programmed except for a slight difficulty with the output format. This was corrected, and he had his answers by 5 p.m. closing time! It should also be pointed out that the letters 'APT' were pre-empted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their 'Automatic Programmed Tool' program, a fact which was not known to the originators of APT until the acronym had attained considerable local currency for that language.
