Edgar T. Irons, Wallace Feurzeig · Communications of the ACM · 1961

This paper, like the ~tc(:()mp:mying papers by I nger-m~m, Feurzcig, ~m(l Irons, is a product; of the "Rump Group" seminar held it, ()hi(',ago in August, 1960, during which the problems of writing translttlors for Atx~oL 60 were explorexl; a previous version of this paper was presented at the meeting of the (then) ALGOL Working Group in Milwaukee, the day before the ACM National Conference.The first ideas for this mechanism arose in the general discussion among the Rump Group members, and the basis of the mechanism was worked out in discussions with P. Z. Ingerman, while the others were concentrating on other problems.
