Abstract
The BKS System is a program sequencing system designed for the Philco-2000 computer to meet operational requirements of the Bettis and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratories. The Philco-2000 on which this system is being used has a 32,768-word memory, 16 tape transports on-line, and an electric typewriter on-line. The card-to-tape, card-to-printer, tape-to-card, tape-to-printer, and routine tape-to-tape operations are performed with off-line equipment.

Recollections of the Philco Transac S-2000
In 1954, engineers at Philco Corporation invented the surface barrier transistor, the first transistor suitable for use in high-speed computers. Philco set up a computer activity eventually a computer division and in 1957 introduced the Philco Transac S-...
TALL—a list processor for the Philco 2000 computer
Several of the computer languages that are oriented toward problems in symbol manipulation use a list type of memory organization.1 The advantages of such a memory organization have been discussed elsewhere and will not be repeated here. The purpose of ...
A Philco multiprocessing system
AFIPS '64 (Fall, part II): Proceedings of the October 27-29, 1964, fall joint computer conference, part II: very high speed computer systemsAlthough the purpose of this paper is to describe the Philco Advanced System and the design and application considerations that gave rise to it, it will be necessary to review in some detail the Philco 213 System. The two systems are quite similar in ...
