File
MS. Eng. misc. b. 258/C.30
Held at the Weston Library
(Originally kept with MS. Eng. misc. b. 258/C.29).
Six bundles of notes and photographs, with notes and explanations by Strachey, as follows:
- 'Example of machine errors. The machine (literally) had a screw loose when it did this'.
- 'Photographs of the monitor tube display during a game of draughts. These are best viewed at arm's length'.
- 'Examples of draughts as played by the machine. Most of these were experimental and show signs of errors, either in the programme or in the machine'.
- 'The complete programme for draughts as printed out by the computer' (dated 10 July 1952).
- 'Flow diagram and programme for the inner section of draughts. This part allows the machine to decide its own move. (This is my own working copy - hence its dog-eared state)'.
- 'Draughts. Instructions'.
