The Bendix G15 (introduced in 1956) had ALGO, their variant

after 1958 or so. I think it was the only high level

It was a subset called "ALGO." It punched miles of paper tape as an
intermediate, even for dinky programs (which were, of course, all that
could fit anyway).
I used a G15 at a summer class in 1963. We used Intercom 1000. I found
a manual for Intercom 2000 and wrote an emulator (not a G15 emulator).
Let me know if you want it.
