3x3x3

[Salvation3in1]

Hi there, I've just joined the forum. Looks like a great place for all things cubing. I have recently brought a 3x3x3 cube, and the last time I used one was back in the 1980's!
I have been trying to find a certain algorithm that I used back then, hence the reason for this enquiry. I purchased the cube new back then and it came with a small booklet having the following moves:

1.1
1.2
1.3

2.1
2.2

3.1
3.2

So as an example, move 2.1 would have something like the following:

2.1 L-U-F U-F-L
(Where L represents Left
U represents Underneath
F represents Front).

Does anyone have an Idea where I might find these types of original algorithms?

Many thanks.

Velkonmen! I also first tried the cube in high school in the mid-1980s even have a Chex Cereal brand cube I got by mailing off Chex box-tops to prove it! /o/

I don't know a specific answer to your main question
but
ruwix.com has many good resources for cubing methods and algortihms, from beginner and on up gl and Happy Cubing!

Welcome to the forums! I would recommend first learning the proper notation, as nowadays cubers use "U" for "Up" or the top layer, not "Underneath". If you would like to start with the beginner's method, I recommend watching this video by J Perm or this video by CubeHead. Both are very reliable, so hopefully you can gain some knowledge about this method. Once again, welcome to the forums, and I wish you the best of luck on your return to cubing!
