The 1004 was programmed with a plugboard. The 1005 started life as a
special plugboard for the 1004. There were two versions of the 1005; a
single address machine and a two-address machine. SAAL was Single
Address Assembly Language for the single address 1005.

I guess that I was lucky. The only one that I saw was at Ft.
MacArthur, and it loaded without any issues. Of course, with my last
use in 1968 it might not have worked so well by the time you came
around.
