BELL LABORATORIES RELAY COMPUTERS
As yet no full-scale scientific report is available on the Bell
Laboratories general-purpose relay computers that went to Aberdeen and
Langley Field. However, there is some information about these and other
Bell Laboratories relay computing machines in the following articles:

THE KALIN-BURKHART LOGICAL-TRUTH CALCULATOR
As yet there are no published references on the Kalin-Burkhart
Logical-Truth Calculator.
Some books covering a good deal of mathematical logic are:
QUINE, W. V., _Mathematical Logic_, New
York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1940, 348 pp.
REICHENBACH, HANS, _Elements of Symbolic
Logic_, New York: The Macmillan Co., 1947, 444
pp.
TARSKI, ALFRED, _Introduction to Logic_,
New York: Oxford University Press, 1941, 239 pp.
WOODGER, J. H., _The Axiomatic Method in
Biology_, Cambridge, England: The University
Press, 1937, 174 pp.
Chapter 2, pp. 18-52, is an excellent and
understandable summary of the concepts of
mathematical logic.
Several papers on the application of mathematical logic to the analysis
of practical situations are:
