Diagram for the computation by the Engine of the Numbers of Bernoulli

A numeric instantiation of Ada Lovelace's original symbolic table (see Note G, p. 722 et seq.), with n = 4 substituted into every formula, and the three given constants set to B1 = 1/6, B3 = −1/30, B5 = 1/42. A register could not simply be overwritten: its value first had to be given off, and the store returned to zero before it could hold anything new. A red 0 follows a given off value. V6 and V7 give theirs off after Operation 19′ — which, strictly, presumes the engine already knows no third pass is coming, a fact only Operation 23′ actually confirms. In every row, the cell being written is shown in pink, and the cell or cells being read to produce it — seeding it, so to speak — are shown in light blue, both together in the same row. Green marks a step up, orange a step down. Operations 1, 7, and 8 are all seeding values without being a ±1 change (±V1) step, and are left in the plain (pink) style.
