Source Code

These source-code files were derived from scans of the Colossus 237 (Apollo 8 Command Module) program listing from the private collection of original AGC developer Fred Martin. Scanning was by Ron Burkey. Pre-existing Colossus 249 (Apollo 9 CM) source files were used as a template, and changes between Colossus 249 and Colossus 237 were manually transcribed by a team of volunteers. Note that the page images presented online are of reduced quality, and that additional images are available. Report any conversion errors or legibility problems in page images to info@sandroid.org. Notations on the program listing read, in part:
