Predating  Algol !?! - TILT, BOGUS, FARSE

Algol's revised report is dated 1960 -
That's 9 years before your BCPL - which was nothing
but a hack cause of the problems in writing a full PL/1.

Compiler technigues were not that well known and not published
back then. 
These go back to the days when people were trying to patent 
algorithms ! not just bithc about copywriting programs.
