FORTRANSIT was converted to IT Internal Translator which was converted into SOAP and thence to machine code. In the SOAP -> machine code step, the user had to include card decks for all the subroutines used in his FORTRANSIT program (including e.g. square root, sine, and even basic floating point routines).
