✦ Synopsis

Su.,a.,ahRY---Some properties of SAKO, an Automatic Coding System for the medlum-scale digital computers XYZ and ZAM II, are described. This system takes into account specific features of these machines (for instance, the fact that they are fixed-point), and provides for logical operations on machine words. In designing SAKO, the author aimed at a system sufficiently effective to eliminate machine language almost entirely in the whole field of numerical and logical problems.
