"Automatic Digital Computation" was published by NPL
in 1954 and reprinted in 1955.  It is the proceedings of
a symposium held at NPL in March 1953.

It contains reports of numeric programs being run
on various computers --
solving simultaneous equations, latent roots,
matrix multiplication, solution of Differetial equations,
partial differential equations, statistics,
computation of tables, etc.

Of course, the programs were in machine code.

That symposium was the third such held.

The previous ones were held in June 1949 and July 1951.
