Addendum to a guide to tables on punched cards
Gertrude Blanch, Everett C. Yowell · Mathematics of Computation · 1953
\MTAC, v. 5,. In July, 1952 [MTAC, v. 6, p. 204-205], an announcement was made about a forthcoming addendum to this guide, and information was requested concerning any new contributions or necessary corrections.This addendum and list of corrections is now given below.In addition, information is supplied in Section 2 about keypunching of important tables that is now in progress at various laboratories.It might be interesting to observe that the supply of new tables on punched cards is rather small, compared with the activity in mathematical computing that has been stimulated by the increasing number of high-speed calculators.It is possible that this foreshadows the replacement of punched cards by more satisfactory tools, which may become available even to laboratories of relatively small size.For the present, however, punched cards are still very much in use and it is deemed desirable to keep the record of them up-to-date.
