This 12-page booklet describes 12 games for matching the machine against the human operator. Adaptation of the games to various computers, including the company's Sexiac electronic digital computer kit, is also explained. Willis G. McCormick Co., 15733 Septo St., Sepulveda, Calif. (electronic design, Feb. 3, 1960, p. 111)
