Abstract
Abstract Abstract Some random normal number generators that were satisfactory for 36-bit-word computers are inadequate for equipment such as the IBM System/360, using a 32-bit-word. A generator is presented and shown to be satisfactory relative to several criteria for testing normality and randomness.
