Other pages show technical diagrams, schematics of the HITAC 2050, building and room floor plans all labeled in Japanese as is the text, and a stylistic map of Japan showing the locations of universities with computer centers. The front and back covers are solid blue and show the title in Japanese kanji and katakana. The back cover gives the title in English and the address in Japanese. The literal translation of Nihon Tokyo Daigaku Denshi Keisanki Senta is Japan, Tokyo University, Electron Calculator Center.
