    abstract = "The public demonstration of a Russian-English machine translation system in New York in January 1954 {--} a collaboration of IBM and Georgetown University {--} caused a great deal of public interest and much controversy. Although a small-scale experiment of just 250 words and six {\textquoteleft}grammar' rules it raised expectations of automatic systems capable of high quality translation in the near future. This paper describes the system, its background, its impact and its implications."
