APT(ID:23/apt001)

Automatically Programmed Tools 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1956
Published: 1956
Genus: Numerical Control
Sammet category: Specialised Languages

for Automatically Programmed Tools.

For the direction of numerically controlled machine tools.

The first language to be an ANSI standard: ANSI X3.37.

From 1956 featured many advanced structure related and proto-OO concepts (ref Ross HOPL snippet)

Had PLEX structure:

"'reverse index register', data-and-program-structuring scheme (typed records with fields) [...]. The offset (in an instruction) with respect to a pointer (set into an index register) as the "handle" on some n-component element, selected one word of the "bead" (record). Even jump instructions were stored in components, so that one change of the index setting could radically change many aspects of program behavior, as well as data.
