It wasn't even mentioned in Brooker's 1958 paper called " The Autocode Programs developed for the Manchester University Computers ".

In 1961, an EDSAC 2 version of Autocode, an ALGOL-like high-level programming language for scientists and engineers, was developed by David Hartley.

For a contract to produce the autocode for the Ferranti Orion computer, Strachey hired Peter Landin who became his one assistant for the duration of Strachey's consulting period.

Later it referred to translation of high-level programming languages like Fortran and ALGOL . In fact, one of the earliest programs identifiable as a compiler was called Autocode.
15.
Atlas Autocode included a complex data type to represent complex numbers, partly because of pressure from the electrical engineering department, as complex numbers are used to represent the behavior of alternating current.
16.
The complex data type was dropped when Atlas Autocode later evolved into the Edinburgh IMP programming language . ( Imp was an extension of AA and was used to write the EMAS operating system .)
17.
Atlas Autocode's second-greatest claim to fame ( after being the progenitor of Imp and EMAS ) was that it had many of the features of the original " Compiler Compiler ".
18.
The first autocode and its compiler were developed by Alick Glennie in 1952 for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester and is considered by some to be the first compiled programming language.
19.
As a result, while most of the Western world's scientific programs were being written in Fortran at that time, most of those in the Soviet Union were written in Elliott Autocode!
20.
The term " autocoder " needs to be distinguished from " autocode ", a term of the same era which was used in the UK for languages of a higher level.
