      abstract = {These notes from special intensive summer programs on  Analog-Digital conversion held at MIT from 1956-1957 focus  on problems created when digital equipment is linked with  physical systems. A "language" problem arises, for the  language of the information-processing equipment is digital  and the language of communication in the rest of the system  is nearly always in the form of electrical signals or  mechanical displacements analogous the the physical  parameters involved. Thus, there is a need for devices to  perform the language translation. Devices taht perform  analog-to-digital conversion are called coders, and devices  that perform digital-to-analog conversion are called  decoders.The subject matter is divided itno three parts.  The first part pertains to systems aspects of digital  information processing that influence the specifications  for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion  devices. In the second part, a detailed engineering  analysis and evaluation of a variety of conversion devices  is presented. The third part is devoted to a case study  based on development work done at the Servomechanisms  Laboratory of the MIT Department of Electrical  Engineering.},
