摘要

A digital incremental plotter has been incorporated into the Mercury computer system in Mathematics Department. Two plotting facilities have been provided - direct on-line operation from the computer and off-line operation from computer output recorded on magnetic tape. The Report is primarily concerned with the control arrangements provided to implement the new facilities. Outline characteristics and operation of the plotter are also given. (Author)
