"This report contains a summary of the work accomplished under Task 12B of the Sparrow I development program. Task 12B, Simulator and Tester Runs, Part II, concerns the operation of the computing equipment ... designed or purchased under two earlier tasks: Task 11A, Design and Construction of Simulators; and Task 11B, Design and Construction of Testers. ... This equipment, under the authorization provided by Task 12B, has been applied to the solution of a number of complex problems relating to the Sparrow Program. Three of these problems are described in detail in this report as examples. In addition, the fundamental applications of the computing equipment are reviewed and the innovations made under this task are discussed."--Page 1.
