The sixth annual edition of "The Computer Directory and Buyers' Guide," the June letterpress issue of
Computers and Automation, is here presented with the
hope that it will prove essential to the work of people..
in the computer field. The June news issue, vol. 9,
no. 6 B, has already been mailed to subscribers.
"Part 1, Roster of Organizations in the Computer
Field," contains over 700 entries.
"Part 2, Buyers' Guide for the Computer Field: Prod·
ucts and Services for Sale or Rent," contains over 2000
entries.
The "Roster of Organizations," is the reason for our
existence as a magazine, since our first issue, Vol. 1, No.
1, in September, 1951, consisted only of a seven page
purple ditto list of organizations in the computer field.
As usual, we ask our readers please to tell us of additions, corrections, and revisions, so that we may continue
to try to make the reference information that we publish useful and reliable.

MATHEMATICAL METHODS
FOR

DIGITAL COMPUTERS
Edited bJI ANTHONY RALSTON, Bell Telephone
Laboratories, and HERBERT WILF, University of
Illinois

Treating numerical analysis from the standpoint of the digital computer, this book offers mathematical analyses of digital computer methods and
detailed descriptions of the actual processing of
complex mathematical and physical problems. Twenty important and representative problems, drawn
from all branches of mathematics, are presented.
For each of these problems, the reader is led, step by
step, through the problem analysis, program planning, How chart construction, and "debugging"
stages.
Each chapter of the book represents the contribution of a man in close contact with the latest
developments in the field. Except for the first chapter, "Generation of Elementary Functions," all follow the same format, including the function of the
program, mathematical discussion of the given
problem, calculation procedures, a description of the'
flow chart, a sample problem, memory requirements,
estimate of running time, and a list of references.
The book covers not only many of the more
commonly used conventional methods but also new
and highly promising procedures and tactics, including the Monte Carlo techniques.

BUYERS' GUIDE
FOR
THE COMPUTER FIELD:
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
FOR SALE OR RENT
(Cumulative, information as of May 1, 1960)

The purpose of this roster "The Buyers' Guide for
the Computer Field: Products and Services for Sale or
Rent" is to give information about the existence and
In many cases the properties of every product or service
in the computer field that is offered for sale or rent and
that we have been able to learn something about. This
in the fourth cumulative edition of this roster, containIng over 2000 entries.
Kinds of Entries. There are three kinds of entries in
this list: expanded bold face entries; cross reference entries and ordinary entries. An expanded bold face entry
contains or should contain the following information:
Name of supplier and address / name or identification of product or service / DESCR: a brief description of the product in about 20 to 50 words,
or more / USE: how it is used / price range, and
whether for sale or rent.
Every entry is subject to editing. These entries are set
in bold face type, and a nominal charge of $10 is requested for printing them, except that a display advertiser receives a number of such entries free depending
on the amount of display advertising.
Ordinary entries consist of just the name of the organization, listed under the product class.
Cross-reference entries show that a product listed
under one product heading is described more fully
under another product heading.
Corrections. We have tried to make each entry correct
to the extent of information in our possession. But it is
inevitable that at least some errors have occurred, and we
shall be glad to publish corrections.
Questionnaire. Nearly all the entries in this roster
have been derived from answers to questionnaires which
we sent out in February and March to over 700 suppliers
in the computer field. The expanded entries have been
derived mainly from answers given on the "Product Entry Form," which follows:

ING DIY. *a / IBM 357 Data Collection System / DESCR: An in-plant electronic communications network which
enables production employees to flash
work-in-progress reports to a centrallylocated manufacturing control center.
The equipment employs instantaneous
punched card-to-card transmission and
consists of a network of input (reporting) stations on the production line
and a card punch output station in the
control center. Punching of "job"
cards and "man" cards on the line
activates the output punch which
creates transaction cards automatically.
When run through standard data processing equipment, these cards produce
reports for use by management. The
357 system transmits over multi-wire
DC cable or via telephone lines and
switching facilities. Input stations can
be located as far as a cable mile from
the central output punch. Up to 20
input stations can feed into each output station, depending on input volume

second. The 7701 operates on either
toll or leased circuits. Operation is
similar to ordinary telephone procedure. The operator in the sending location places a standard reel of magnetic tape on the 7701 and then dials
the phone number of the receiving location. Learning that data is to be
sent, the operator at the receiving location verifies that the receiving 7701
is prepared to record the transmission.
Data from the 7701 passes through a
modulating subset provided by the
telephone or telegraph company,
through the communication circuits to
a demodulating subset at the other
end, and into the receiving 7701.

Very large-scale air-battle digital
computer simulations are now going on
at the Washington Research Office of
tech/ops. Present operations call for
top-flight mathematicians, mathematical
statisticians, senior programmers,
operations research analysts.

These computer air battles are stochastic
models which involve design and
evaluation, and development of unusual
techniques for studying sensitivity of
these models to input changes. Associated
activity involves design of advanced
programming systems and of common
language carriers which are expected to
be independent of the first computer
used-the computer itself augmenting
and improving the language for use on
later and more sophisticated computers.
A fascinating new book by tech/ops,
THE GAME OF WAR, traces the history
of war gaming from ancient chess of
3,000 years ago to modern computer
gaming, illustrated with authentic
warriors of the periods. For your

Blvd., Hawthorne, Calif.
A new concept in high-speed magnetic
memories was shown recently when this company
delivered its megacycle Rod memory to the
Naval Ordnance Test Station, China Lake,
Calif. Navy scientists plan to use this unit
as a computer buffer memory for sequencing
and control of automatic data-handling equipment for their NODAC (Naval Ordnance Data
Automation Center) Facility. The memory
should be able to replac~ a number of highspeed flip-flop registers.
This new memory was developed around

tical applications of thin magnetic films
for memories. The Rod assembly consists of
glass rods of O.Olo-inch diameter which are
electro-plated with a magnetic alloy and
wound with many small coils.
The Naval Ordnance Test Station memory
contains 768 bits; other memories can be of
other capacities. Several small units can
be combined into a modular system.
The complete read-write cycle, including access time, requires only one microsecond. Rod memories have been built to
operate with a ~ microsecond cycle: one intended to operate in ~ microsecond is under
development.
The Rod element has superior characteristics of ruggedness and temperature tolerance. It has operated over a temperature
range of -loooC to-r2OOoC without appreci:
able change in its switching characteristIcs.
It can be switched in less than 50 millimicroseconds with moderate currents.
The tiny coils are wound by semi-automatic machines. Both the plating process
for the Rod element and the assembly of the
Rod with its small coils can be completely
automated.

COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2,1960

PROBING MOLECULAR PHENOMENA
TO ADVANCE DIGITAL COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
Servomechanisms/Inc., Goleta, Calif.
R. F. Redemske, Vice President, Research
Division of Servomechanisms/Inc., has stated
that a group of scientists in this division,
have developed some techniques for utilizing
molecular phenomena for measurement purposes.
Present day digital computers are capable
of extremely high precision. A serious limitation in control problems are the transducers that sense physical variables and convert
them to electrical information to be fed to a
computer. Most transdu.cers "measure" the
physical variables by the gross effect of
quadrillions of molecules; they appear to
have a continuous analog output. If transducers could sense these variables directly
as a number or count instead of in this apparently continuous manner, then no conversion from analog form to digital form would
be needed to satisfy the input requirements
of a digital computer.
As an example, special vacuum deposition
techniques can deposit a thin film containing
holes with diameters approaching those of gas
molecules (400 billionths of an inch). It
should be possible to count the molecules
leaking through such holes and relate the
count to physical phenomena causing the molecular activity.
Since time can be measured very accurately, a transducer that inherently produced an
output in the form of events per unit time
would greatly improve the precision of digital computers used for control. A successful
search for true digital transducers would
thus c~nstitute a significant contribution to
the control field.
FACTOR OF 10 SAVING
IN LONG-DISTANCE VOLUME COMMUNICATION
Crosley Division, Avco Corp., New York, N.Y.
A new concept in communications that can
transmit a 3000-word mess~ge over a telephone
line in three minutes was announced late in
April by this company. The same message would
take from 30 to 50 minutes to transmit via
ordinary teletypewriter.
Each unit of the new system (called
Comex) consists of a two-speed magnetic tape
recorder capable of recording the output of a
standard teletypewriter on magnetic tape at
slow speed. The magnetic tape is then run
at ten times the' slow speed as the information is tran5IDitted over a standard telephone
circuit. This message is then recorded at
high-speed by a second Comex unit, but fed
into a teletypewriter at slow speed and the
message printed out.
COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2, 1960

The unit is compatible with American
Telephone and Telegraph Company's service for
transmission of teletypewriter messages and
data over regular long-distance telephone
lines. It can be used with all presently installed teletypewriters.
Comex units are small, compact, and
weigh 150 pounds. During operation a minimum
of noise is produced and there is no vibration.
Completely transistorized, Comex accepts
messages from presently installed printers or
paper tape transmitters at speeds of 60 to 100
words per minute. It transmits this information without distortion at speeds of 600 to
1000 words per minute. The system is capable
of storing up to 12 hours of message information. Firms which have installed the device
find it advantageous to store the information
during the working day and then transmit it
after hours so as to take advantage of lower
telephone rates.
STATIC PUNCHED CARD READER
Richardson Scale Co., Clifton, N.J.
The Richardson Punched Card Reader was
announced in March as a st~ndard component in
controlling plant or machine operations.
It is a static card reader, using a
standard IBM card. The card is inserted and
remains in one fixed position, reading all
960 holes (80 columns of 12 holes each) simultaneously. Programming of operating, manufacturing, or blending cycles may thus be accurately and positively controlled.
The static card reader controls operations in each progressive step, and can be
built into many types of automatic machines
or processes.
The advantages of using the standard
business machine card are:
1. Large storage capacity
2. Cards can be prepared immediately on
receipt of order from customer or
from Production Planning Dept. to
fill needs
3. Cards can be subsequently processed
through punch card accounting machines for cost computations, inventory records, etc.

TUNNEL DIODES OPFBATING AT 4000 MEGACYCLES
General Telephone and Electronics Corp., 730
Third Ave., New York 17, N.Y.
A miniaturized tunnel diode capable of
oscillating at frequencies in excess of 4,000
megacycles, four times the range of previously
announced tunnel diodes, has been developed.
General Telephone & Electronics Laboratories, Inc. and Sylvania Electric Products
Inc. will manufacture and market it. The
increased frequency range is the result of a
new etchiny process and a low inductance
packaging technique.
The increased capabilities of the new
diode "should encourage design engineers in
their quest for practical applications of the
tunneling device".

LARGEST COMPUTING SERVICE CENTER IN U. S. OPENED

tape transports, each of which is capable of
reading and writing 30,000 characters per
second. Additional peripheral equipment includes 8O-column card punching and sensing
equipment, a high speed printer, on-line
typewriters and high speed punched paper
tape readers and punches. In July, 1960,
the facility will be expanded to include
Control Data's Model 160 intermediate capacity desk-size computers.
The 1604 is a fully transistorized general purpose digital computer reflecting the
latest advances in computer design and performs additions in 1.2 millionths of a second.
The 1604-160 configuration is this company's
recently announced "satellite computer system", which is a pioneering step in the computer industry. The intermediate-scale 160
computer and the large-scale 1604 operate
together using common input-output equipment
and common magnetic tape storage. The 160
operates under program control of the 1604,
and the 160 can interrupt the operations of
the 1604 in order to obtain access to the
larger arithmetic capabilities of the 1604.
Thus, in effect, the functional capabilities
of the intermediate-scale 160 are greatly
"amplified" by the large-scale 1604.
Control Data will use its computing
center for several purposes. Primarily, it
will be used as a source of computing time
for Control Data's customers to test out
their problems. Computing time on a servicebureau basis will also be made available to
universities, and scientific and business
organizations who have problems which require the capabilities of either the largescale 1604 or the intermediate-scale 160.
The computing center will be used by Control
Data to facilitate engineering design on new
systems, and as a proving ground for new
items of input-output equipment. Control
Data is also using the system for its own
accounting operations, including the processing of data from its own Model 180 production
data collectors.

scientific problems.
MAGNETIC TAPE STRIPES FOR NEW LEDGER SHEETS
FOR AUTOMATIC ACCOUNTING MACHINES
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co., 900
Bush Ave., St. Paul 6, Minn.
A new ledger sheet for automatic accounting machines -- featuring "stripes" of magnetic recording tape -- has been announced by
Bann Incorporated, printers, St. Paul, Minn.
The following advantages of tape ledger
sheets over similar forms using other types
of magnetic tracks are:
• Consistent signal output.
· Reliability of performance.
• Saving in time and operating costs.
• Less wear on the magnetic reading head.
The sheets are designed for the Burroughs
Sensitronic Posting Machine, which uses a
magnetic recording and reading system for
bookkeeping computation.
This machine is widely used by banks
for posting checks and deposits on ledger
sheets which contain both the customer's
statement and the bank's record of the
account.

By means of magnetic tracks on the rea~
of the sheet, recording heads in the machines
"read" the new information on the ledger, record the new entries, and automatically update balances -- all within a matter of
seconds.
Since a standard magnetic tape is used
on the sheets, the Bann printer does not
have the problem of controlling oxide thickness to assure uniformity of output. The
producing company, Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing, in the actual manufacturing
process makes some 60 quality-control checks.
Tracks on the Bann sheets are strips
of "Scotch" brand No. 301, a high-output
oxide recording tape with a paper backing.
The quarter-inch tape is produced by 3M
specifically for this usage in 3700-foot
lengths, bulk packed on metal hubs.
Magnetic tape was selected by the accounting machine manufacturers when this
system first came out, Bann indicated, but
due to production obstacles encountered in
laminating the tape to the paper sheets,
the idea was abandoned. Employing a patentapplied-for method, Bann reports it now has
solved the lamination problem.
This ledger sheet conceivably could
pave the way for the largest single use of
magnetic recording tape, if the system becomes accepted throughout industry for
bookkeeping purposes.
Nine midwest banks have been trial
testing the sheet for from six months to a
year with satisfactory results, according to
Bann. However, the commercial or non-bank
application of the entire system may be a
larger potential than the strict bank application -- an opinion based on the success of
two such commercial applications, (a chain
lumber company and a farm implement distributor) in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and
several others presently in the develop~
mental stage.

-- Magnetic tape ledger sheets are designed
for automatic accounting machines such as
this one being used in a bank to post checks
and deposits to customers' accounts. Tape
tracks are used to automatically position
the sheet in machine, record account code
verification numbers, update balances and
store check count.

ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING CENTFR OPENED
IN WASHINGTON
Radio Corporation of America, Rockefeller
Plaza, New York 20, N.Y.
A major new instrume~t in Washington's
continuing struggle with paperwork was introduced as the Radio Corporation of America on
May 12 opened an all-transistorized electronic
data processing center in Washington to serve
both government and business.
Speaking at the dedication of the new
RCA Building at 1125 K Street, N. W., T. A.
Smith, Executive Vice President, RCA Industrial Electronic Products, predicted that
"maximum use of data processing could lead
to a reduction of more than 50 per cent in
the mounting volume of paperwork that today
engulfs both government and business in the
capital".
To illustrate the burden of paperwork
that Washington bears, Mr. Smith cited these
statistics: The federal government pays
$4 billion a year to make and keep permanent
records; it prints 18 million forms a year
at a cost of $900 million, of which $198
million (88 per cent) is for clerical processing; currently the government is storing
close to 25 million cubic feet of permanent
records.
"If you filled every inch of the Capitol
Building with these records," Mr. Smith said,
"there would still be 10 million cubic feet
of records left to be stacked on the lawn
outside.
"A pile of paperwork the size of the
Washington Monument -- 555 feet -- with each
invoice containing ten items, could be recorded on magnetic reels, ten inches in diameter, that would form a pile only six feet
high. The data in it could be processed by
the 501 for cost distribution analysis in
5 hours and 23 minutes."
A feature of the dedication ceremony
was a demonstration of what the RCA 501 can
do in a typical problem facing a government
agency or a business firm.
In the demonstration, 400-odd transactions were run through the system against an
inventory of some 5,000 items, providing a
printed record of the transactions themselves,
the status of the stock at the conclusion,
and other information of importance to auditors. This was done in 3 minutes, 33 seconds.
If done manually, the same task would have
taken two men roughly a full eight-hour day
to accomplish.

MICRO-MINIATURE HFllMETICALLY SFALID
TRANSISTOR ENCLOSURE
~hilco

Corp., Lansdale Div., Lansdale, Pa.

A new micr~iniature transistor enclosure small enough to permit component densities on the order of 1,000,000 parts per cubic foot -- approxi~ately 16 times greater
than present maximum component density -has been developed.
Characteristics of the tiny enclosure
were presented at the 1960 Electronics Components Conference on May 11 in a paper delivered by F. K. Clarke of the Lansdale Division's research and development operations.
The enclosure is a flat package measuring 0.125 inch wide, 0.180 inch long, and
0.060 inch high. About 42 such enclosures
can be mounted on one square inch multielement wafer, and still add only about 1/16
inch to its thickness.

-- The new microminiature transistor
is shown resting on the top of an
old-style transistor.
Designed specifically as a micro-element
for incorporation on a small wafer, the
Philco enclosure mounts easily into a slot
in such wafers.
The design significantly features a
cold welded, metal-to-glass, hermetically
sealed package providing a minimum seal
length of 0.050 inch. It will house any
type of standard computer transistor.
Electrical leads emerge from the enclosure in the horizontal plane greatly
simplifying connections to other components.

COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2, 1960

The micro-miniaturization program at
Philco's Lansdale Division stems from the
aircraft, missile and space vehicle industries and their need for electronic gear of
extremely small size with maximum reliability.
As the sizes of electronic components shrink,
the informative or directive capacity of a
given volume of equipment increases. Thus,
there is urgent need for miniature components, particularly the active circuit
elements.
The new micro-miniature enclosure represents the culmination. of developmental work
designed to fabricate a transistor package
small enough for mounting on a multi-element
wafer, hermetically sealed for ruggedness
and prevention of any chemical changes of
the semiconductor surface which could degrade
the transistor's characteristics, and providing convenient electrical connections.

The extremely small dimensions of
Philco's micro-miniature enclosure were
achieved through a combination of factors:
1. Reducing the blank to the minimum
size consistent with handling ease
and the hydraulic considerations
associated with electro-chemical
processing.
2. Locating the whisker wire knee closer
to the blank. With present whisker
wire attaching machinery, the whisker
is set at approximately 0.030 inch
from the electrode.
3. Positioning the lead strips in such
a manner that a seal length of 0.050
inch is provided with minimum effect
on the exterior dimensions of the
package.

EMITTER

-- The lower portion of the package consists of a base plate and a rounded
rectangular cup, separated by a layer of glass.
Strips of metal (0.003 inch thick) are embedded in the glass and serve
as electrical connections to the semiconductor device.
The top plate is cold welded to the package flange, forming a hermetic
seal. The enclosure is 0.180 inch long, 0.125 inch wide, and 0.060 inch high.
The emitter, base and collector are electrically isolated from the package, thus permitting greater freedom in circuit design.
The blank is bonded rigidly to the stem providing a strong, reliable
structure in addition to conserving space.
The emitter and collector whisker wires are welded directly to the metal
strips which serve as the external leads.

NEW PORTABLE DATA GA1HERING SYSTEM
FOR COMPUTER LINKAGE
Epsco, Inc., 275 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, Mass.
This company has developed a truly portable high-speed digital data gathering system
for general use. The system makes possible
for the first time the gathering of data, both
analog and digital, from a multiplicity of
signal sources, such as thermocouples, shaft
encoders, strain gauges, etc., and directly
prepares in the field a tape recording in the
exact format of the user's data processing
computer.
The new line of portable data gathering
systems (including the tape recorder) has been
physically designed into several suitcase-like
carrying cases. Each piece of equipment is
light-weight and can be carried easily in an
automobile trunk from data processing center
to field installation. The units can accept
data from up to several hundred data sources,
making digital conversions and measurements
at rates up to many thousands per second.

Suitcase-packaged digital data
system delivered to David Taylor
Model Basin
The first delivery of the new product
was made to the David Taylor Model Basin
where the equipment is used to gather data
in the new atomic submarines. The equipment
is being used both on land and at sea in
carrying out tests of interest at the Model
Basin. The use of the new equipment has
made possible the elimination of previously

laborious analyses of seemingly endless strip
charts of analog data, and further makes possible complex computation and data processing
from the prepared computer tape.
The system is flexible and applicable to
any data handling situation where it is desired to accurately collect and process information on the spot and then subsequently
process the data in a central computer.
Designed to withstand both severe environment~
al conditions and rugged handling, the equipment is surprisingly light.
CONTROLS OVER STATE OIL AND GAS REVENUES
Commissioner of Administration, State of
Louisiana, Baton Rouge, La.
The State of Louisiana has developed
tight new controls on its annual oil and gas
revenues of nearly a quarter-billion dollars
with the aid of an electronic computer.
The new system, shown late in April,
represents a pioneering approach to improved
state revenue collections and accounting controls. It coordinates the primary records of
the five separate government departments responsible for the administration of these
resources.
Increased revenue and more effective accounting are expected from the new control
technique. An IBM 650 tape computing system
in the State's new Data Processing Center will
monitor every barrel of oil -- from the ground
to the refinery -- for 12,000 producing leases
in 56 parishes. This will assure that the
State receives its proper severance taxes and
mineral royalties.
The new controls have been made possible
by a cooperative program involving Louisiana's
Conservation Department, Register of State
Lands, Revenue Department, Mineral Board,and
the Division of Administration.
The State has approximately 800 producing fields.
"There are only 170 industrial corporations in the United States that take in a
quarter-billion dollars a year, as we do from
oil and gas," the Commissioner said. "This
computer system will enable us to know all we
need to know about these operations."
Basically the State's new system is buili
on a series of cross-checks among the various
participating departments as oil and gas moves
from the well to the transporter to the refinery and into interstate commerce. Stored
in the IBM 650's magnetic tape files are complete records about each producing lease in
the State and each' of more than 1,200 producers, 275 transporters and 30 refiners.

COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2, 1960

NEW MAGNETIC DISK MEMORY DEVICES
Laboratory for Electronics, Computer Products
Division, Boston, Mass.
Rotating magnetic disk storage devices,
the BD-IOO (Bernoulli Disk) Series, are now
available for commercial application.
The flexible rotating disk of paper~thin
magnetic mylar material maintains a small,
controlled separation between the mylar
and the read/write heads of the memory unit
by means of basic fluid motion principles.
Due to the low mass of the revolving
disk, the positive separation constantly
maintained between disk and back plate, the
air-tight sealing of the entire unit, and
the simplification of machining required,
the Bernoulli Disk-lOO Series offers many advantages over usual drum-type memory units.
It may be mounted either horizontally or vertically without decreasing performance. The reliability is extremely high, with virtually no
possibility of damage to the recording medium
or to the read/write heads. It requires no
warmup and can withstand severe thermal shock,
operating within a temperature range of +300
to +150 0 F. It is unaffected by severe vibration and shock. The BD-IOO Series is but a
fraction of the weight of conventional storage drums, weighing approximately 15 Ibs.,
and measures 9" x 9" x 5". The disk, 'Ph" in
diameter, stores 100,000 bits of information
on 32 tracks, up to 3,000 bits per track.
The read/write head design, storage disk
speed, and operating frequency may be varied
according to the customers' specifications.
The read/write heads are compatible with
solid state circuits. The disk rotation
speed varies between 1800 and 8000 rpm depending on the unit employed. The read/write
bit rate varies from 90 to 400 kilocycles to
fit the application. Power source may range
from 60 to 400 cycles per second. These disk
memories are expected to sell for 20-25% less
than conventional drums of the same 100,000
bit capacity.
WIRE SPRING RELAY WITH 51 POLES
Automatic Electric Co., Northlake, Ill.
A new "wire-spring" relay, designed to
transfer up to 51 circuits quickly for 100
million or more operations without readjustment, has been developed by this company.
A unique actuating card -- activated by
armature movement -- operates all moving
wire-spring contacts simultaneously and independently. The moveable springs are
aligned and anchored in a molded assembly.
A plastic comb aligns the relay's stationary springs.
The relay is available in one, two, or
three levels of contact assemblies, with up
COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2, 1960

to 17 contact combinations, each. The largest contact pile-up (51) requires less than
4 watts operating power.
To insure positive contacting, the company is manufacturing the relay with twin,
independent contacts of palladium-silver.
The self-equalizing contacts are coined after
welding into a dome configuration for proper
mating, and will carry 3 amps, 150 watts,
non-inductive load. Contacts are protected
from dust by a transparent plastic cover.
Individual adjustment of spring contacts
is not necessary. The entire level of stationary springs may be controlled by simple
adjustment of their supporting arm. Solderless-wrap terminals eliminate soldering defects and provide gas-tight, corrosionresistant connections.
A full 51-circuit, three level relay
will sell for about $50.

ELECTRONIC STAR NAVIGATION
ITT, International Telephone and Telegraph
Corp., 67 Broad St., New York 4, N.Y.
An operative model of a new electronic
star tracking system,that someday may tell
space vehicles where they are and where they
are going, has been constructed by this company.
The device utilizes an ITT photomultiplier tube which transforms a star's optical
image into an electrical signal, amplifying
these signals 2,000,000 times in the process.
A similar tube has been called the "prime
detector" in the recent high-al ti tude observations of Venus, studies which at last indicated the presence of water vapor on that
neighboring planet.
Electronic scanning of the signals within the tube determines if the star signal deviates from the true optical line of. sight to
the star. Resulting scanning signals are
used to restore the alignment of the tube to
the precise line of sight. By relating the
space vehicle with respect to this established
line of sight, information is made available
for guidance and control of the vehicle.
Conventional optical star tracking systems employ relatively heavy and cumbersome
telescopes, obviously unsuitable for space
vehicles where weight and size are at a premium. Als~ due to the speed and distances involved in space travel, rapid determination
of location is vital.
ENGINEERS CAN MATCH WITS WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC
BEFORE APPLYING FOR JOB
Deutsch & Shea, Inc., 230 West 41st St., New
Yo rk 36, N. Y.
Matching wits with General Electric's
own technical staff before applying for an
engineering position will be made possible
through a series of self-administered, selfscoring technical tests developed by G.E.'s
Light Military Electronics Department.
Six months in the preparation and pretesting stages, the technical tests will be
available for engineers and scientists to
answer and score in the privacy of their own
homes. Grades achieved can be compared with
an interpretive scale based on performance of
Light Military engineers at all experience
levels. Tests cover the fields of Radar,
Microwaves, Communications and Electronic
Packaging.
By rating himself against the company's
own staff, a prospective employee can gain a
better insight into his chances for a successful engineering career at G.E. The company
made it clear that the tests are for private
us.e only by individual engineers and scientists; scores need never be divulged to G.E.
lOB

In addition to the technical tests, a
psychological inventory form will be available
for potential engineering managers and administrators to rate their own aptitudes and
abilities in this area.
Considered by General Electric to be a
"first" in personnel practice, the testing
program is intended to bring a new degree of
precision to the problems of selecting a job
from the engineer's point of view.
Any qualified engineer holding a BS or
advanced degree can receive copies of the
tests, and answer sheets related to his fields
of interest (limited to two tests per person)
by writing directly to Mr. Ron Bach, Light

SOLVING 46 SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS
FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS, AND MORE
Bendix Computer Division, Bendix Corp., 5630
Arbor Vitae St., Los Angeles 45, Calif.
The Stanley Engineering Co., Muscatine,
Iowa, in reviewing its use of a general purpose computer, reports successful results in
several major fields. The firm utilize,S the
G-15 manufactured by the Bendix Computer Division for engineering computations.
Reduction of design time and improved
accuracy have resulted since installation of
the computer in July, 1958.
The firm operates both in this country
and on the African continent in the fields of
civil, architectural, electrical and mechanical engineering. It uses the computer chiefly for problems of highway and structural design, hydraulics, electrical distribution
system design and analysis, geometry, power
plant design, heating and air conditioning,
surveying, water system analysis, and statistical work in connection with rate studies.
One program was used successfully on the
solution of 46 simultaneous equations for
structural analysis. Other programs rated as
valuable include: geometry for highway design; matrix algebra for structural analysis
of rigid frames; earthwork for hig~ways; and
hydraulic programs for flood control studies.
The computer assists a staff of 120 engineers and architects, along with 80 technicians. The computer group includes three
full-time employees (a professional engineer,
a technician and a typist). Two other employees (a professional engineer and a technician) also do some of the programming.

PACKAGING MICROMINIATURE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS
ON STACKED WAFERS, EACH SMALLER 1HAN
A POSTAGE STAMP
Sylvania Electric Products, Needham, Mass.
A technique for packaging microminiature
electronic circuits on a series of stacked
wafers, each smaller than a postage stamp,
was announced on May 11 by Sylvania Electrii
Products Inc., a subsidiary of General Telephone & Electronics Corporation.
Because of small size and ultra-reliability, the versatile circuit package, a "microminiature module", will find initial application in communications, digital control, and
other electronic circuits within missiles and
satellites. Ultimate commercial use will
lead to microminiaturized computers, display
equipment, radio transceivers and telephone
exchange equipment.
Gerald J. Selvin, manager of micr~elec
tronics at the Applied Research Laboratory
of Sylvania Electronic Systems, a major division of the company, said development of the
tiny module (below) will be completed within
the next two months. Fabrication of pilot
quantities is expected to be under way by the
end of the year, he said.

cation, this manual fulfills long-felt needs

MINIATURE SEQUENCE PROGRAMMER
Elgin Micronics, Division of the Elgin National Watch Co., 366 Bluff City Blvd., Elgin, Ill.
A new, miniature, solenoid-actuated
switching device to encode or decode events
in a sequence has been developed by this company. The device is designed for operation
with solid state circuitry over a wide range
of input rates; it employs an interchangeable
coded disc to determine or sense the sequence
of events.
It is expected to have wide general application in complex automatic control operations, and provides highly precise indexing
action. This precision permits division of
the program disc for sequences requiring up
to 100 switch positions.
The complete programmer, including coded
disc, is less than 1-3/4 inches long and
weighs only 9/10 ounce. It is rated for 4 to
8 volts; it will operate with input pulses as
short as 11 milliseconds; it will give up to
70 indexing motions per second. Environmentru
tolerance covers a temperature range from
-40 0 to +165 0 F, vibration at 109 from 5 to
55 cps and shock at l5g-l1ms in accordance
with MIL-E-5272, making the switch ideal for
inclusion in airborne or missile equipments.

ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS IN mE FUTURE
Clair C. Lasher, General Manager, General
Electric Computer Dept., Deer Valley Park,
Phoenix, Arizona
(Based on a talk, May 17, before the annual
meeting of the National Federation of Analysts Societies)
This year's estimated computer industry
volume of $1.1 billion is possible because
there are many computing equipments being
produced which were impractical five years
ago, and they are being applied to problems
and situations that were not considered economical applications five years ago.
The ph'enomenal growth of the computer
industry comes directly from the progress of
electronics during World War II. Computers
would be no more than a laboratory tool today
had it not been for the perfection of the
modern techniques of electrical control and
amplification, both dependent upon the existence of such devices as the transistor, with
its simplicity of structure, low cost, and
extreme economy of power.
Five major problems now facing the computer industry must first be solved if computers are to continue to satisfy fundamental needs adequately.
These are: the problem of understanding
and developing their applications; making the
computer easier to program; securing greater
reliability in computers; standardizing both
hardware and computer languages; and plowing
money back into the business for the future,
providing both basic research and development and a base for continued leasefinancing.
We fully expect that within the next
decade, better than 80 per cent of the computers sold will be used in new applications
unknown today but made possible by further
study and subsequent experimentation and
understanding of the application.
Computers must be designed to accept
formulas as mathematicians have historically
prepared them and to be able to read directly
from source documents.
As to reliability, the on-line control
of a turbine generator or a cement plant
simply cannot tolerate the malfunction of
control equipment due to failure of an electronic component.
Standardization should be confined to
computer language and interchangeable components.
General Electric is the largest nongoverrune,nt user of computers. Th us General
Electric has considerable knowledge concerning applications of computers, and this is a
primary key to marketing these devices.
The price of admission to the computer
business is "well over 50 million dOllars".

In data-processing computers, the ERMA
systems developed by General Electric for the
Bank of America in California are processing
over one-half million accounts every working
night. General Electric is still in the
position of having the only equipment for
this purpose installed and operating in a
bank.
Information handling is one of the i~
portant fundamental methods of increasing
productivity through automation. Automation
is not a problem of the future but rather is
the only solution to many problems of the
future.
We believe the electronic automation
business will have a very great growth in
our economy during the 1960's and have a total industry volume of more than $20 billion
by 1970, up more than 300 per cent over last
year's estimated industry volume of some $6
billion. Computers are the heart to all
automation.

3/10 microsecond and drive currents as low
as 360 milliamperes. Word range is from 256
to 16,384 words. All cores are thoroughly
checked prior to insertion in the memory and
again following assembly.

COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION for June 2, 1960

FROM RECORDS TO RESULTS,
RCA Electronic Data Processing
Sets New Standards in Reliability!
a unique magnetic tape system of unequaled reliability and security ... a finely balanced system of
checks in the computer and input/output devices.

Magnetic tape processing, critical to EDP reliability, achieves a new
high standard with RCA Electronic Data Processing Systems. In
the RCA 501 and 601, for example, completely duplicate records
are provided-dual recording in side-by-side bands. In tape operation the two channels reinforce each other for extreme accuracy.
Other tape checks are added for even greater accuracy and security
•.. echo checking on information dispatched to the 501 recording
head, the use of a reread head in the 601 ... rollback provision for
rereading in case of transient error ... tape flaw marking and detection ... safeguards against accidental erasure of master tapes ... all
highly effective in delivering top tape performance.
In the computer and input/output units, accuracy and reliability are
again Hthe rule." Within the computer, all internal information
transfers, all transfers to and from memory, and all transfers to and
from buffers are parity checked. Arithmetic operations are checked
by complements. Other checks are maintained on impossible instruction combinations and on timing errors.
In the card readers, cards are read twice and compared ... card
punching is reread and checked. Paper tape reading is parity
checked. All information sent to the printer is parity checked, for
maximum accuracy in printing.
Built-in checks are not the whole story in RCA Electronic Data
Processing. The solid state, printed circuit design reflects the many
years of electronic experience by RCA-world leader in electronics.
