My WW2-era assembly is a bit rusty, but I don't think the Harvard Mark 1 had bitwise logical operations?

The article is about x86, and x86 assembly is mostly a superset of 8080 (which is why machine language numbers registers as AX/CX/DX/BX, matching roughly the function of A/BC/DE/HL on the 8080—in particular with respect to BX and HL being last).
