What (who) is FORTRANSIT - definition
FORTRANSIT
<language> Fortran Internal Translator.
A subset of Fortran translated into IT on the IBM 650.
It was in use in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Compilation took place in several steps (using punched cards
as the only input/output media). FORTRANSIT was converted to
IT Internal Translator which was converted into SOAP and
thence to machine code.
In the SOAP -> machine code step, the user had to include card
decks for all the subroutines used in his FORTRANSIT program
(including e.g. square root, sine, and even basic {floating
point} routines).

FOR TRANSIT
FOR TRANSIT (also incorrectly FORTRANSIT) is a subset of the FORTRAN programming language for the IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Data-Processing Machine, developed by a group led by Bob Bemer. FORTRAN, the first high-level programming language, was developed for the IBM 704 in 1957, at the same time IBM wanted to provide something similar for customers of the older, less powerful, but popular 650—eventually over 2000 650s were sold.
