  • Abstract
    A SAP (Symbolic Assembly Program) package has been developed for the IBM 704 computer to simulate the logical tree of circuitry associated with a character-recognition device. The program has two major inputs: a particular set of logic statements (of AND and OR type) on cards, for flexibility, and tape reels of binary images of ideal or real characters. The output is the ``score´´ of the logic: how many misjudgments it made on the images, what areas of the logic caused the misjudgments, and possible improvements of these areas.
