First publication of MacWilliam's important paper on permutation decoding.
"MacWilliams (1917-1990) was a mathematician who contributed to the field of coding theory. She was born in Stoke-on-Trent, England and studied at the University of Cambridge, receiving her BA in 1938 and her MA in the following year. She spent most of her career at Bell Labs, where she worked on error-correcting codes and co-wrote 'The Theory of Error-Correcting Code with Neil Sloane'." (Codings: Webster's Quotations, 42 p.)
