Munich, Germany<\/p>\n
Up at 7 a.m. — very tired. I ate breakfast at the hotel and we went to the plant. I talked briefly with Bill Hoerner and went back to school with Hr. Busch. We finished up the subroutines and macros. Busch wrote a small probram but couldn’t get on the machine until 2:30.<\/p>\n
I ate lunch in the Executive Dining Room and received compliments on my German ability. Steinwender (Personal Mgr), Schorrschop (Industrial Engineer), Keller (new man in Product Design), Gordon Plummer, and I had lunch. Another excellent meal.<\/p>\n
After lunch I got on the machine and Busch got his proram running. I made modifications to the Parts Master Edit and Maintenance, generated the Dataform input program, and keyed in 23 transactions to use for test purposes.<\/p>\n
Gordon got ahold of my telex to George about going to Hamburg. He was a bit upset that I hadn’t cleared it with him first. The trip is not set yet, so there was no reason to talk with Gordon unless it’s going to come off, which I expect it will.<\/p>\n
I tried to find the reason for the bad translation from ASCII to EBCIDIC which was not running correctly when putting out the tapes for IBM. I found only one table in the program: EBCIDIC to ASCII. I don’t know how he is going about going the other direction. I have to call London tomorrow to see if they know the answer. Meanwhile, I might try writing the tape in ASCII and have IBM translate it.<\/p>\n
I left the plant after 8 p.m. and went to the Ranch House for super and had spare ribs. Excellent. Followed that with a Peach Melba. I was back to the hotel about 11 p.m. and took a short walk with Gordon to find a newspaper. We finally found one at the Intercontinental Hotel.<\/p>\n
