Tensor calculations on computer: appendix

In the main text of the paper [Comm. ACM 9, 12 (Dec. 1966), 864], a FORMAC program was discussed which is capable of calculating various quantities of interest in tensor calculus. This Appendix is intended as an example of the program output. Christoffel symbols calculated for 12 basic orthogonal coordinate systems are listed.
