I will be putting a few of the Whirlwind magnetic tape images up on bitsavers
later today. I've identified four which appear to be for the "Comprehensive
System" used for non-military programming on tape drive 0. There is a utility
program on drum band 11, which is kept read only which reads programs from
tape 0.
I also turned up a bit more in the documentation for the non-military paper
tape numbering system. They used project/programmer numbering. Military tapes
seem to be numbered as Mxxxx or Mxxxxx
xxx-xxx-xxx is project - programmer - number assigned by programmer for the paper tape
They don't appear to follow that convention on the military project paper tapes.
