The gridded sheet has columns numbered 1–80 for "Card Type," "Card Number," "Spacing," "Location," "Operation," "Address," and "Remarks." The assembler for the AGC code was called "YUL," so named by Hugh Blair-Smith to commemorate the unmet Christmastime delivery date of a prototype guidance computer in 1959.
