| dc.description.abstract | Before we can employ a computer, to generate tapes for numerically controlled machine tools we need to be assured that we have a complete programming system available for the machine tools, control systems and computer, we intend to use. In almost every case, one of the elements of the programming system will be a post processor.The postprocessor is needed whether we are intending to use 2CL, EXPAT,, ADAPT, APT or any of the other general purpose computer programs now available.
