A com- plete line of even more-powerful add-on items, Series 370/380, is also available, including still four more keyboards. All items are fully described in the following pages. 300 SERIES ELECTRONIC CALCULATORS Wang Series 300/362 Electronic Calculators rev- olutionize point-of-work calculations. All models provide unprecedented operating speed, data ac- curacy, and work simplicity. Over 10,000 already delivered have won approval from leading uni- versities, research laboratories, design engineers, statisticians, and financial users. These calculators have four primary distinguish- able features. First, they contain a unique digital circuit which directly generates logarithms. This simplifies calculations for the user, and increases calculator reliability, while reducing price through design simplicity compared to old-fashioned tech- niques for calculator design. The log register is particularly valuable when raising numbers to in- teger or fractional powers, or taking integer or fractional roots. Illustrative examples abound — in business, for example, it facilitates compound interest, bond value, annuity, and mortgage cal- culations. Second, the keyboard is designed for convenient desk-top use. It is separate from its electronic package for optimized size and human-engineered for intuitive use. The new owner discovers most of the important operations of the machine simply by pressing the keys. Operator training is accom- plished in minutes. Third, up to four keyboards may be connected to a single electronic package, Model 300SE, 310SE, or 320SE, for fully-simultaneous operation. This feature provides cost-sharing of the computing module, giving the user substantial economic ad- vantages. The cost savings provided by standard- ization on Wang Calculators become particularly significant within multiple-user facilities such as laboratories, departments, and offices. Still another distinguishing characteristic remains. Because of the ability to separate keyboard con- soles from electronic packages, with interconnect- ing cables up to 200 feet in length, it is possible to interpose accessory items in series connection between the two main components on a quick- connect, plug-in basis. This allows the inclusion, now or later, of accessory programmers, output printers, extra data storage, and other items. Only Wang offers this ability to select optimum equip- ment to meet particular requirements, then grow as the user’s needs grow. This is invaluable in re- ducing equipment obsolescence and maximizing the user’s return on his investment. FEATURES: @ Single keystrokes perform +, —, X, ee VX, X®, Ln X, e* operations. X ™@ Ln X, e* keys are operations, not programs: allow calculation of X+’, Lnx Y. M@ Answers are visually displayed to 10-digit pre- cision with floating, properly-positioned auto- matic decimal point location. @ Intermediate answers may be stored and re- called at random. @ Two independent adders aid in a wide range of calculations with step-saving economy. @ Duplex accumulation switches control auto- matic summation of products, multipliers, and/ or entries. For example, =X” and =X can be simultaneously accumulated with each X? cal- culation when solving statistical problems. @ Up to four keyboards can be operated at the same time using one simultaneous electronic package, reducing per-user cost to as low as $1,070. ™@ Models are available with extra storage regis- ters, or extra accumulators, for advanced cal- culations. @ Trigonometric keyboards are available in six models for single-keystroke calculation of sind, cos9, arcsin X, and arctan X. INTRO D U CTl 0 N continued ® Addition of a CP-1 Card Programmer to any keyboard automates calculations. Only variable inputs need to be indexed, giving true man- machine interaction. @ Numerous other important accessory items also in quantity production, require no equipment modification for later installation. @ High reliability for all models, proven through years of use, over ten thousand units installed. No routine maintenance — nothing to wear out or readjust. @ Over 50 sales/ applications / service centers, staffed with skilled, experienced professionals, are available to provide assistance to you. BRIEF DESCRIPTION All instruments in the 300 Series are actually three machines in one. These are the product section, which handles multiplication and division; plus two independently operating but interconnecting arithmetic accumulating sections. In addition to adding and subtracting, the latter also serve as storage registers for automatic accumulation of sums of products, entries, and/or multipliers, and have separate recall keys to display their contents at any time. In other words, intermediate answers are storable and recallable at random for the con- venience of the user. The basic keyboard has two adders, a multiplica- tion or log register, and a display register. Num- bers are entered via a 10-key keyboard into the display. The decimal point position is automatic, and is entered as it would be written. Automatic alignment of the decimal point takes place in any arithmetic combination. Simple addition and sub- traction can be performed in the two adders. Mul- tiplication, division, reciprocals, Loge X and e* are performed in the multiplication register. The reg- isters are independent, and therefore the use of one register does not destroy the contents of any other. Automatic accumulation switches are avail- able on the two adders so that products and en- tries as well as multipliers can be automatically accumulated. These features enable considerable keystroke reductions when performing calcula- 2 tions for such diverse applications as invoicing extensions and computation of standard deviation in statistical applications. SERIES 370/380 PROGRAMMABLE CALCULATING SYSTEMS The exclusive Wang building-block modular cal- culator design concept enables those who own any Wang calculator to enjoy add-on advances in calculating power. Series 370/380 Programmable Calculating Systems utilize standard Electronic Packages, Series 300-362, including simultaneous- operation models. Sophisticated program capabil- ity, greatly increased data storage capacity, and a variety of peripheral devices for input and output are added to the basic Wang calculator without mod- ification, reducing equipment obsolescence from increasing requirements. The breadth and depth of selection in the Series 370/380 family allows opti- mum matching of equipment capability to a great variety of applications, while retaining the lowest cost/highest performance calculations. COMMON CHARACTERISTICS: Detailed description of the many Wang calculators appear on the following pages. Complete specifica- tions unique to each model are given. Certain com- ments on common characteristics of all models are in order: POWER: All models are normally furnished for 115 vac + 10%, 50 to 400 hertz power operation. Except as noted, 230 vac, 50 hertz input is offered on special order at no extra charge. Please specify when ordering. Mixture of Keyboards: It is possible to intermix keyboards in various less-powerful models for less-sophisticated operations. For example, a 3205E Simultaneous Calculator with log and exponent capability may be required for business or scien- tific calculations, yet one or more users may not need log or exponent — or even square or square root. The latter users may be equipped with Model 310K or 300K Keyboards. Exception: Do not par- allel other types of keyboards with 360 or 362 Keyboards. ELECTRONIC CALCULATORS MODEL 300 ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR For business applications requiring addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and reciprocals. The Model 300 is a high-speed electronic calculator, furnished with a separate keyboard, for space saving, and a cable connected electronic package, for expan- sion. A choice of electronic packages is offered — a single-terminal unit, Model 300E; and a four-terminal unit, Model 300SE, for simultaneous operation of four keyboards. Model 300K Keyboards are used with either electronic package. Operations include addition and subtraction, with two independent registers for this purpose, and multiplica- tion, chain multiplication, division, and instant recipro- cals. Keys are provided for all functions including random-access recall of either accumulator. A standard 10-key configuration is used to enter numbers with full floating decimal point location. Duplex accumulating switches are provided for automatic accumulation of entries and/or multipliers in the right adder, and for extensions or products in the left adder. Display is provided in normal order with the polarity sign, numerical values and automatic properly-posi- tioned decimal point. The illuminated visual readout is produced by % in. high glare-free indicator tubes. The range of display is -+.0000000001 to +999999999.9. Beyond this range, indicated answers may still be cor- rect but for decimal location, which must be relocated 10 places to the right from the position given, as indicated by a flashing signal light.

The Model 310 provides all the features and functions of the Model 300, and adds instant \/X and X2. The duplex accumulation switches, in addition to their normal functions, provides =X, 2X2, XY, VY, =(X+Y), aX°Y, By X, and By. The accumulated totals are recall- able to the display at any time. With the addition of square and square root functions, the Model 310 offers the statistician the most conveni- ent, easy-to-use calculator available for calculations of mean, variance, and standard deviation. To illustrate: Mean (X) = =* exi2- 2 (sx? n Variance (o”) = n =xi2- 4 (x)? n Std. Dev (o) = a When solving the equations, the product accumula- tor and multiplier accumulator switches enable the sum of the variables (Xi) and the sum of the squared variables (=Xi?) to be automatically accumulated in the two adders as the variables are squared. The mean (X) is readily found by recalling the contents of the right adder and dividing by the number of variables (n). The variance (c”) is found by recalling the contents of the right adder, depressing the X* key, dividing by the number of variables, subtracting this amount from the contents of the left adder, and dividing by the number of variables. Standard deviation (ce) can quickly be found at this point by depressing the square root key. These and other calculations may be automated by a CP-1 Card Programmer (see page 9 for details). Pre- programmed and verified punched card libraries pro- vide the statistician with speedy and reliable tools when performing repeated applications. Variables to a problem can be inserted into a program at any pre- programmed location. This virtually eliminates the need for the user to manually perform tedious repeated mathematical operations. The modular expansion cap- ability of Wang Calculators is retained so that the statistician may, for example, later add a 370 System for more complex calculations (analysis of variance, multiple regression, etc.). Select a Model 310E Electronic Package for single- keyboard application, or a Model 310SE for 4-terminal simultaneous keyboard operation. Both packages use Model 310K Keyboards.

The Model 320 adds to the 310 two new functions, instant logeX and e*. These operations are executed with 12-digit accuracy for InX, and 11-digit accuracy tor e*, displaying the first 10 digits of 14 digit opera- tions. The Model 320 allows the user to generate logs and exponents to any base, simplifying calculations in many areas of application. For example, this unique Wang feature allows the business user to calculate mortgage payments, compound amount, annuity value, etc., without time-consuming, error-prone references to tables. Engineering, scientific and statistical applica- tions are self-evident. Chain multiplication and division, using cumbersome numerical values, can be readily manipulated by using the log and antilog approach to problems. Techniques for using the log keys can be learned in minutes. A CP-1 Card Programmer connected to the keyboard gives the user a very powerful pre-programmable calculating instrument. Program libraries containing an extensive range of useful verified programs are avail- able to give users punched-card programming capa- bility. A competent staff of programmers at Wang Laboratories will assist the user when requirements for special programs are required. Both single-input (Model 320E) and 4-input simulta- neous electronic packages (Model 320SE) are avail- able. A choice of keyboards is also offered. Select the Model 320K for routine, general-purpose calculations. For trigonometric calculations, select instead the Model 320KT, which contains built-in hardwired programs for single-keystroke calculations of sine, cosine, arc sine, and arc tangent. Refer to page 8 for additional details on trigonometric keyboards.

This calculator provides all the features and functions of the Model 320, preceding page, but has extra random-access core storage registers to hold constants, intermediate answers, or multiple results. The basic 320 Keyboard is regrouped to permit addition of eight keys, as shown, for storage and recall of 10 to 14- digit numbers. This important feature is especially significant to the statistician, as it allows him to de- velop all terms required for calculation of variance and other functions without reentry of data. The Model 360 is of additional significance as an ex- tremely useful model for later expansion into a Series 370/380 System. Although a large capacity external data storage unit, such as the Wang Model 373, may then be used, the registers of the Model 360E are use- ful as ‘“‘scratch-pad” memory. Both single-input (Model 360E) and 4-input simulta- neous electronic packages (Model 360SE) are avail- able. Users with trigonometric calculations are invited to specify the Model 360KT or KR Keyboard with built- in trig programs (see 320KT/KR, preceding page, and page 8, Trigonometric Keyboards). Others should select the Model 360K Keyboard, or a Series 370/380 Keyboard.

The Model 362 is unquestionably the most powerful electronic calculator available. It provides all the fea- tures and functions of the Model 320, with a keyboard arrangement similar to the 360. The four extra registers of the latter are replaced by 12 registers, each of 14 digit capacity (plus sign and decimal storage). Each register may be used as a storage register or as an accumulator, providing independent addition and sub- traction in up to 14 registers in all! When used as storage, any register may be ‘“‘split” into two “halves,” each with independent store and recall operation. Capacity is six digits, sign, and full 10-place decimal location for each half register. Thus, in addition, to its two accumulators common to all models, it provides up to 24 additional registers! All extra-register operations require two keystrokes. First, initiate the proper operation (store full, recall He, etc. — one of the eight right hand keys shown in the photo above. Then designate which register is used by depressing one of the number keys (0 - 9, or CLEAR DISPLAY or CHANGE SIGN for the last two registers — the normal functions of the latter two keys being prevented by the previous execution of the register operation). This extremely efficient design provides an ultra-compact, extremely powerful yet quite eco- nomical solution to technical calculations. Select a Model 362K Keyboard for general use — a Model 362KT or KR Keyboard for trigonometric calcu- lations — or a Model 370-2 or 380-2 Keyboard for sophisticated programmed calculations.

These keyboards are available for five electronic pack- age models (320E or SE, 360E or 360SE, or 362E) in a choice of two configurations: KT, for keyboard input of angles in degrees; and KR, for input in radians, Thus, trigonometric keyboard models are, respectively: 320KT or KR, 360KT or KR, and 362KT or KR. To operate, enter the argument (or sine or tangent) and depress either the sine or cosine key (or sin” or tan “'). The program will display the results in degrees and fractions, eliminating need for table reference, and error-prone tedious interpolation. Trig function programs utilize both accumulators, as well as the log registers, and therefore these registers should not be used before trig calculations. If extra storage is necessary for other operations, select a Model 360 or 362 Calculator with extra storage (not affected by trig calculations). Note: Calculations of other functions such as tangent, and simple trigono- metric identities of only a few steps, are performed manually after automatic generation of a suitable basic function. All contain built-in hard-wired programs for generation of the following functions: RANGE OF INPUT VARIABLES KEY FUNCTION DEGREES RADIANS PRECISION OF OUTPUT SIN 0° < |X| < 67.5° 0<|X|< 1.178 Error < 10° 67.5° < |x| < 90° 1.178 <|X| < 1.571 Error < 107° cos o° < xX < 225° 0<xX<_ .393 Error < 10-8 22.5° << X < 157.5° 393 < X < 2.749 Error < 107° 157.5° << X < 180° 2.749 < X < 3.1415 Error < 10-8 PRECISION OF OUTPUT KEY RANGE OF FUNCTION INPUT DEGREES RADIANS SIN 013 << 4% <1 Error < 5 X 10° Deg.

BASIC ACCESSORIES MODEL CP-1 CARD PROGRAMMER The CP-1 is a compact, general-purpose plug-in accessory which automates calculator operations when used with Series 300-362 Keyboards. It reads 80-step 2-digit octal program codes, corresponding to keyboard operations, as shown in the table below. The CP-1 is series-connected between the electronic lever closure mechanism provide reliable reading of static tab cards. Built-in electronic circuits are solid state, and of plug-in construction. Programs are prepared using pre-scored tab cards, as shown, prepared using a Portapunch and stylus (see MISCELLANEOUS). Simply determine the sequence of manual keystrokes required to execute the problem. Record these, and look up the corresponding program codes from the table. Now push out the pre-scored bits of a card, using the Portapunch, in sequence, as re- quired. Use a STOP code whenever an input number is to be indexed by hand via the keyboard. An excellent library of programs is furnished free with each CP-1. Also included are 200 tab cards and a program pad. package and the keyboard by use of the attached 12- SPECIFICATIONS foot cable and side-panel connector.

DESCRIPTION A keyboard attachable accessory, the IC-1 can be factory-installed to any calculator keyboard in the 300 Series. To accommodate the IC-1, the keyboard must be fitted with an IC-1 output connector (no. 57-60140) to mate with the input connector (no. 57-30140) on the 18-inch cable of the IC-1. In operation, the IC-1 can count up the number of items in any of the +, —, X, +, VX, and X? oper- ations. It can also count up any combinations of these operations (e. g., all + and — operations on the left adder, or all + and — operations on both the left and right adders, etc.). The range of count is 1 to 9,999. OPERATION Operation of the IC-1 Item Counter is controlled by a set of selector switches. When a desired function is to be counted, set the appropriate switch by pushing it to the upper position. Then ‘zero out” the counter readout by pressing the black knob immediately below the readout window. The counter is now ready to function. EXAMPLE 1 Count the Number of Items in an X” Operation: Set the counter “X*” selector switch to the upper position. Set all other selector switches to the lower positions. Set the counter readout to zero. Operate the keyboard for all values of X to be squared. The IC-1 will indicate the number of calculations of the <? function. 10 EXAMPLE 2 Count the Number of Multiplications: Set the “<=” switch of the IC-1 to the upper posi- tion. Set all other switches to the lower positions and set the counter readout to zero. Perform multi- plications on the keyboard as usual. The IC-1 will indicate the number of multiplication operations per- formed. EXAMPLE 3 Count the Number of Divisions: Set the “Enter” switch of the IC-1 to the upper position. Set all other switches to the lower posi- tions, and set the counter readout to zero. Perform divisions on the keyboard; the IC-1 will indicate the number of division operations performed. ORDERING A keyboard must be modified to accept the IC-1. When ordering the IC-1 Item Counter be sure to specify the #57-60140 output attachment to the keyboard. This permits the IC-1 Counter to be plugged into the modi- fied keyboard. Any existing keyboard now in use can also be retrofitted with an IC-1 Counter. See below.

Fastest, most powerful calculating system, especially for rapid solution of complex problems with loops, branches, and subroutines. Highly recommended for statistics — and for on-line systems. The Model 370 Programming Keyboard is intended for use with all Series 300-360 Calculator Electronic Pack- ages. The Model 370-2 is identical to the Model 370 except for the change in name of eight keys as re- quired for use with a Model 362E Electronic Package. Conversion between models of keyboards, if desired, may be accomplished in minutes. System configurations including the 370-2 and 362E are especially desirable, both for low cost and for the extra accumulators of the 362E. Series 370 Keyboards provide the standard keyboard input and data display functions of Wang Model 360K Keyboards, plus additional keys for sys- tem control. Electronic circuitry is added for operation in a more-powerful system configuration, with rear panel connections for programming card readers, extra data storage, etc. Internal logic adds decision-making test commands for programmed loops, branches, and subroutines. A 12-foot attached cable connects to the electronic package. Circuits and keys are provided for full system control, input and output. Additional keys allow on-line ‘‘de- bugging” of programs. An extremely versatile dictio- nary of program codes (next page) allows powerful system combinations to be connected on a modular, building-block basis. Other system elements are de- scribed on the following pages.

For example, when in- verting a 6 X 6 matrix, a set of two cards is used to sequence the entry of matrix coefficients into storage, another for inversion, and another to display the re- sults; only two readers are required for the entire program. Readers are furnished with attached cables for series connection of multiple units to a 370/370-2 Keyboard. Indicator lamps show which reader is in use. Bifurcated contacts provide highly-reliable card hole sensing, and a well-designed closure mechanism with a high me- chanical advantage lever assures proper card registra- tion.

The 372 Data Storage Unit has 16 independently ad- dressable core storage registers. Each register is ca- pable of storing a 10-digit number with its plus or minus sign and decimal point. The 16 registers of a single 372 Unit form a 2 x 8 matrix with row count R and column count C. The two digit address code RC specifying row count R and column count C identifies any of the 16 registers in the 2 x 8 matrix. For ex- ample, the address code for the register identified by row count 1 and column count 6 is “16”. Up to four 372 Data Storage Units can be connected to form an 8 x 8 matrix with row count R(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7) and column count C(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7). Slide switches on each of up to four multiple connected 372 Units are set to numbers 0, 1, 2, or 3 in the same order in which the units are connected. Any 372 register RC can be directly accessed by key- board or program operation. The number N in the dis- play is stored in register RC by setting Special Oper- ation Code switches ‘‘40-20-10-4-2-1" to add up to RC and pressing Store D and Special Code keys. The number N stored in register RC is recalled from stor- age and displayed by setting Special Operation Code switches to add up to RC and pressing Recall D and Special Code keys. For programmed storage of dis- played number N in register RC, or recall and display of Number N stored in register RC, simply program a Store Direct (Code 26) or a Recall Direct (Code 27) instruction followed by address code RC.

The Model 377 is a portable electronic control unit which serves as interface for the Model 376. The latter is a slightly modified 33ASR Page Printer/Tape Punch/ Tape Reader, with a keyboard which may be used to prepare input tapes off-line, or as an on-line remote system keyboard. Page printout format is completely programmable. Output of numeric data in the 370/380 display is pro- duced by a 2-step command (WRITE 1, followed by a code indicating the desired number of digits or spaces before and after the decimal). The output always in- cludes printout; punched tape output may be pro- grammed on or off. Numbers are printed with the deci- mal point properly positioned and aligned in columns. In addition to numeric output, the 376/377 configur- ation provides printout of alphabetic information under program control. Card or tape programs are used as sources, with 2-step commands (WRITE 2, followed by the character desired). The paper tape reader of the 33ASR may also be used, with information auto- matically transposed to the output. The tape reader of the Model 376 may be activated by keyboard or program instruction, with program control switched to the punched tape. Hole patterns of the first six tracks (channels) of the tape are interpreted exactly as the hole patterns in program cards. Branch- ing between 376 tape and 370/380 card or mag tape programs is completely programmable. SUMMARY of INPU
