Item description from seller

[Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel (MCAP).] Office of Naval Research (ONR)]. "Interim Report of the Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel on Automatic Digital Computers. [1954] Carbon copy on onion-skin paper. Stapled with a single staple. The first sheet really wants to rid itself of that staple. No individual authors or members of the MCAP are named. 11"x 8.5", 11 numbered sheets, 2 additional leaves with tables 1 and 2. There are a few short tears and chips, plus a dog-ear here and there, otherwise this document is in near-Fine condition. Historically members of the panel of MCAP have been absolutely stellar, including John Curtiss (NBS), Douglas Hartree, George Stibitz, Richard Hamming, George W. Patterson (ONR), Herman Goldstine, John von Neumann, and others. [++] Of note here is that there is mention of Tables 3, 4 and 5 in the text but the document only has tables 1 and 2. There is no evidence that the 3 leaves of additional tables were part of this document. [++] There are NO mentions of any report by this title on Google and nothing at all in WorldCat, which is a little surprising. [++] Note 1. I qualified "internal" with a question mark as this document obviously doesn't have the physical capacity to withstand general circulation, being a carbon copy on a filmy/onion-skin-like paper. That said, I have no authority to say that it absolutely wasn't. I'm 99% certain though that this was not meant for general circulation. Note 2. Best guess here for a date comes from bits of chronology in the document, the chief clue to the upper-end of the date of production being a mention of a machine due to be delivered in 1954. The date I reckon is 1953 or 1954, guessing very safely at 1954.
