Handwritten notes on a routine for calculating square roots on the EDSAC

Several pages of handwritten notes outlining a routine for calculating square roots by Victor W. D. Hale. It is believed that these notes are from late 1948/early 1949 (possibly before the EDSAC was operational) based on the code used. There is also a note from Eric Mutch inviting Victor Hale to play tennis.
