I'm familiar with the document. For all of that, note that the 1620 and its industrial version, the 1710, was hugely popular and a great deal of useful work was accomplished with it. Was the CADET slow? Sure, but it was fast enough--and eminently programmable in machine language, even for a student. Some of the same criticisms could be levied against the venerable 1401, none of which prevented its application in the real world. --Chuck
