Write it our longhand and it's easier to grok:
9.8 m/s^2 ==> 9.8 m/(s*s) ==> 9.8 m/(s*s) ==>
(9.8 meters per second) per second.

haracter were named 1, 2, 4, 8, A, B,
and W (wordmark). Oh, and C, but that was character parity -- the
programmer couldn't set that separately.]
What was the corresponding 1401 boot sequence?
Oh, for the record, IMHO the DEC PDP-8 had a *much* simpler machine
language and assembler than the IBM 1
t to this [possibly
dynamically-constructed] triple, where PUSHJ is the PDP-10 stack-
oriented subroutine call instruction:
PUSHJ P,{lambda-lifted getter code}
PUSHJ P,{lambda-lifted setter code}
EXP{lexical contour info needed for getter/setter to work}
Efficient for the simple case; slow-but-correct for the messy case.

That's pretty much all you need to code in Lisp. It's what *I* use.
