Manhattan Address Locator Algorithm

[Merry]

I'm curious about the origin of the Manhattan address locator algorithm - who came up with it and when; how it was worked out.

I've done a number of searches which came to naught. Does anyone here know?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Could you be a bit more specific?

Which site/proggie uses that in particular?

I am not saying I know anything about it, but an algorithm is a pretty vague description and it may be the reason you are having problems finding something specific about it....

If you google it you'll find that the algorithm / street locator is found in the NYNEX phone book.

I spent a good fifteen minutes doing various searches and came across lots of references -- but nothing regarding the origin.

Zippy: Any of your old phone company connections helpful for this?
