The "Machine Calculator Seminar" is described in a memo of 27 January 1961. The seminar consists of four lessons in the evening that cadets could volunteer to sign up for. The machines used are the Monroe LA-160X, Marchant ACT 10M, Friden ST-10, and Monroe CAA-10. Detailed instructions are provided for how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, extract square roots by the divide and average iteration, and to do correlations (least squares).
