[SIGCIS-Members] Von Neumann EDVAC report

[David Hemmendinger]

	I have a photocopy of the report; its cover page matches the
one that Michael Godfrey published in the 1993 Annals, with the Edvac
contract number W-670-ORD-4926, and dated June 30, 1945.  It's stamped
"Moore School of Elec. Eng. Library".  It has numerous lacunae in
internal and external references.  E.g. on p. 2, the end of sec 1.3 has 
"This point will receive closer consideration subsequently, in particular in"
and the end of 1.4 has "(Cf.                       .)"
	The back page (after the unnumbered p. 101) has a list of due
dates starting Jan 5, 1962.  Can anyone tell me anything more about
the origin of this version?  Is it a copy of the original?

	Godfrey's introduction to his Annals version mentions that
Goldstine said that his archives at Hampshire College had a copy of
the manuscript.  The online list of the archive contents includes only
the Report itself with the June 30 date -- might this be another
original?  

	Thanks,
