	FIELDATA Articles Fieldata was a pioneering computer
		Fieldata was a pioneering computer project run by the US Army Signal Corps in the late 1950s that intended to create a single standard for collecting and distributing battlefield information.
		Much of the Fieldata system was the specifications for the format the data would take, leading to a character set that would be a huge influence on ASCII a few years later.
		Fieldata is the original character set used internally in UNIVAC computers of the 1100 series, represented by the sixth of the 36-bit word of that computer.

		FADAC was designed to be compatible for transmission purposes with the fieldata family of equipment under development by the Signal Corps as part of the Automatic Data Processing System (ADPS) program.
		The basic difference between the fieldata code and the teletype system is that the former requires more pulses to transmit a greater amount of information, i.e., an 8-level instead of a 5-level system.
		Of the 8 levels, 6 are used for information or intelligence, 1 for parity or to check the transmission of the data, and 1 bit for a control-type function.

	UNIVAC 1100 Series FIELDATA Character Code
		FIELDATA was developed by the United States Army as a character code for military communications.
		FIELDATA was defined as a 7-bit, 128 character code with the first 64 characters reserved for control codes (which varied among the different versions of the standard).
		UNIVAC used the second half of the FIELDATA code, which contained all the graphic characters and simple teletype control codes, as the character set for the UNIVAC 1107 and later machines.

	World Power Systems:Texts:Annotated history of character codes
		The FIELDATA character code is part of an Army communications system that existed from 1957 through the early/mid 1960's; while it saw no use in commercial communications equipment as far as I can tell, it had an enormous influence on the design of ASCII.
		It is important to note that unlike today, where a character code is assumed to be a single, atomic unit, in FIELDATA the definition is different, and reflects the state-of-the-art of the time.
		Another likely-military variant of FIELDATA from the same source as above, this one is annoying to tabularize because it does not have nice neat acronyms, instead a series of small messes (sorry, I could not resist).

	World Power Systems:Texts:Annotated history of character codes
		FIELDATA explicitly incorporates for the first time the concept of "control codes" (called in FIELDATA Supervisory codes), for in-band signalling.
		FIELDATA, and to a lesser extent the ASCII that follows, were designed for hardware decoding.
		Keep in mind that the free-for-all of symbol and character manipulation by computer didn't happen on a large scale until the mid-1970's; printing and "input/ouput" was something that was done "off line", computer time considered too precious for mere printing of tables and such.
