Source Code
These source-code files were from the printout at the MIT Museum, with many thanks
to Deborah Douglas, the Museum's Curator of Science and Technology, for releasing
it to us. The printout was digitally photographed by Paul Fjeld. A team of
volunteers transcribed the source code manually from these images or, where
appropriate, modified already-transcribed but similar source Colossus 249 (Apollo 9)
source code to agree with the images from the printout. Note that the page images
presented online are of reduced quality, and that higher-quality images
are available. Report any conversion errors or legibility
problems in page images to info@sandroid.org.
