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:GAP: ASSEMBLE REVISION 237 OF AGC PROGRAM COLOSSUS BY NASA 2021111-031 1:17 AUG. 24, 1968Note that the date is the date of the printout, not the date of the program revision. |
