What can Bell System DATA-PHONE do for Y!!!r business?
If you use data-processing equipment, and have more
than one business address, you'll like what you read here
What is Data-Phone? It's a new Bell System service that
lets business machines "talk'~ together over regular telephone lines.
How does it work? You connect Data-Phone with business
machines at your headquarters and at outlying plants or
offices. You place a phone call from one point to the other,
turn on Data-Phone, and the machines "talk" data at speeds
up to 1200 "bits" per second.
What does it cost? You pay a small monthly rental for
Data-Phone, then pay for each Data-Phone call just as you
do for regular phone cans.
What can it do for you? It can help you collect sales reports, inventories and production figures every day, or
every hour, if you wish. It can help you coni:~o] shipments,
collect payroll figures and expedite all sorts of administrative, accounting, purchasing, credit and merchandising
functions.
Data-Phone can cut clerical time and expense for you,
reduce errors, speed cur:.tomer service and get you vital
information when you need it for management decisions.
It's doing it for many firms already.
Data-Phone is just one of many new Bell. System services which can help your company operate more efficiently
and profitably. To get full details, just call your Bell Telephone Business Office and ask for a Communications Consultant-or majl the coupon. No obligation, of course.
American Telephone & Telegraph Company
Data-Phone Division, Room 513A, Dept. A

The Tape Selected For The Video System In Tiros ll!
Orbiting with the Tiros Weather Satellite n; developed by RCA for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, Soundcraft Tape is used exclusively
in both narrow and wide angle video tape systems.
Only % of an inch wide, this tape records longitudinally rather than across the width and is the result
of over five years of research.
On The Nuclear Submarine, Sea Dragon, the first
undersea magnetic video tape recorders also developed by RCA, used Soundcraft instrumentation
tapes to record and store data on under-ice characteristics of icebergs and ice flows. As man probes
deeper and deeper into the unknown, science continues to call on the world's most modern tape
plant for reliable magnetic tapes.
Discover how Soundcraft's consistent record of accomplishment can be extended and applied to fulfill
your recording needs. Write for complete literature.
"Soundcraft Instrumentation Tape is, of course, used in Tiros
and in other vital space projects as well.

(Cumulative, information as of May 1, 1961)
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 about which we have received information in 1961. We have not tried this year to index entries re information received'1960 and earlier.
This is the fifth cumulative edition of this roster.
Kinds of Entries. There are three kinds of entries in this list: full entries; cross reference entries;
and name entries. A full 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 25 words or
more / USE: how it is used / price range, and
whether for sale or rent.
Every entry is subject to editing.
Cross-reference entries show that a product
listed under one product heading is described more
fully under another product heading.
Name entries consist of just the name of the organization, listed under the product class.
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 twice (in February and
March) to over 700 suppliers in the computer field.
The entries have been derived from answers given on
the "Product Entry Form," Which follows:
LIST OF HEADINGS
As a guide to the products and services offered in the computer field, please
refer to the following list of some 201 headings under which products and services are
classified. There is overlapping among
these headings; ft may be nElcessg'ty or'" desirable to look under more than one heading.

COMPUTER ABSTRACTS ON CARDS is designed to
provide the engineer or scientist with a cumulative reference file to the technical literature on electronic computers, organized by subject matter. As a subscriber.you
would receive, every other month, several hundred
3" x 5" cards containing abstracts of recently published
papers in the computer field. These abstracts summarize
the contents of the papers, enabling you to determine
what work has been reported on a given subject and
showing you where you can find more detailed information on that subject. In addition to the abstract and
the journal reference, each card has a .classification
number which makes it easy for you to file the card in a
logical sequence with all previously issued cards. In this
way you can continuously group together abstracts of
related references, just as the Dewey Decimal System
enables a librarian to group together books on related
subjects.
This abstract card file corresponds in some ways to the
card file which enables the librarian to locate any book
or periodical in the library. However, it has additional
advantages which result from the information provided
by the abstracts themselves and from the logical (as opposed to alphabetical) organization which permits one
to browse through references on related topics as one
might browse through the books on a library shelf. An
alphabetical Pre-Index is provided with this service to
direct the user to the part of the file which is devoted to
a given topic. In addition, the same abstracts are supplied in a non-cumulative form with subject and author
indexes. Taken together the card file, the Pre-Index, and

This logic array has been developed in the Remington Rand Univac Mathematics
and Logic Research Department. In simplified form, each circle represents a film
element that AND's the bits from the horizontal and vertical lines to produce an
output on the diagonal line. The input word is therefore left·circular shifted S places
in passing to the output. Such matrixes can produce arbitrary right or left shifts,
either circular or open·ended, in a single clock period for full length computer words .
Film logic arrays open a new field of high speed, high density logic devices.
No where in the computer industry will qualified
applicants find greater opportunity for both personal and
professional reward than they will today at Univac. Highly

PICO-BITS® are micro-micro
packages of our time-andspace-proven magnetic logic circuitry. A single PICO-BIT® can
perform any basic logical function:
. AND, OR, INHIBIT". (AND NOT),
BRANCH, STORE, TRANSFER, DRIVE,
BINARY COUNT, or COMPLEMENTgreatly simplifying circuitry, minimizing
semiconductors.
Magnetic logic provides the
lowest power dissipation per bit manipulated. PICO-BITS® maintain full
performance margins from
-55°C to +125°C, at unlimited altitudes, 0-100% RH,
under severe shock and vibration
stresses; yet PICO-BITS® occupy
only 0.088 cubic jnches - the
highest "logic-power density" ever
achieved.
Literature on the DI-AN logic-element
family. is detailed, educational, stimulating, free. Write. Better still, telephone-we solve digital problems with
elegance and dispatch.

The purpose of this report is to give the characteristics of United States general-purpose digital computers currently available for sale or rent. The next
edition of this report will also include digital computers produced in other countries.
The three s~ctions give: (1) Internal Characteristics; (2) Input and Output; and (3) Cost and Use.
Any additions, corrections, or comments are
invited.
Memory:
Number of Words: the number of machine words
contained in the memory; may be broken into
two or more memory types on two or more lines.
Whenever the machine word length is "variable",
the Number of Words refers not to the number
of machine words but to the number of digits.

EXPLANATION OF HEADINGS
Internal Characteristics
SoUd State?: If the computer is built with primarily
solid state devices such as transistors, distinguished
from non-soUd state devices such as vacuum tubes,
a "Y" appears in this column. SoUd state devices are
generally more reliable than non-solid state devices.

SURVEY OF COMMERCIAL
ANALOG COMPUTERS
Neil Macdonald
Assistant Editor
Computers and Automation
Following is a survey of commercial analog computers, based on returns from a current mailing and
information previously published in "Computers and
Automation". The editors will be glad to receive any
additional entries, corrections, or comments for publishing in an early issue of "Computers and Automation".
Nearly all the abbreviations used in these summaries are like those used in a telephone book - contractions of words of such a kind that the words can be
easily guessed, especially if the reader refers to the
survey form summarized. "*C" means "checked by
the organization"; "61" meanS "in 1961", etc.

IBM®1418 Optical

IBM 1401
DATA PROCESSING
SYSTEM
Direct input to a computer without manual keypunching-that's how the 1418
dramatically boosts input speeds, and
raises over-all efficiency.
Typical example: in a job that normally
would call for 20,000 punched cards, the
1418 reduces 200 hours of keypunching
and verifying to one hour of "reading."
The 1418 reads numerical data and marks
on bills, invoices, checks and other papers
at speeds up to 480 characters a second ...
and up to 400 documents a minute.

En-
Reading is optical-no special inks required. Documents prepared on 407
accounting machines, 1403 printers, typewriters equipped with IBM 407 type, or
credit imprinters with elongated 407 type,
are the "reading matter" for the 1418.
Since your 1401 computer controls the
feeding of documents into the 1418 reader,
you can get either continuous or interrupted feeding for special processing.
Depending on your needs, there are two
1418 models to select from. One has three
stacking hoppers. For more complex sorting jobs, there's another with thirteen.
which sorts documents either under 1401
control, or independently.
Optional features include: a second optical reading station which permits two
lines to be read on a single pass; a mark
reading station for reading pen or pencil
marks optically.
For more facts about how the 1418 increases the through-put of your 1401 Systern, call your IBM Representative.

DATA PROCESSING
AUTOMATIC COMPUTING MACHINERY
LIST
OF
TYPES
Ir
(Cumulative. information as of May 1. 1961)
Ir
The purpose of this list is to report types
of machinery that may properly be considered
varieties of automatic computing or data processing machinery.
Any comments, corrections, and proposed additions or deletions will be welcome.
Accounting-bookkeeping machines, which take in
numbers through a keyboard, and print them on
a ledger sheet, but are controlled by "program
bars," which, according to the column in which
the number belongs, cause the number to enter
positively or negatively in anyone of several
totaling counters, which can be optionally
printed or cleared.
Addressing machines, programmable, which take in
names and addresses, either on metal plates or
punch cards, and print the names and addresses
on envelopes, wrappers, etc., and which may be
controlled for selection and in other ways, by
notches, punched holes, and other signals, on
the plates or cards.
Air traffic control equipment (including ground
control approach equipment), which takes in
information about the location of aircraft in
flight and gives out information or control
signals for the guidance of the flight of the
aircraft.

APPLICATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
Edmund C. Berkeley
Editor
Computers and Automation
In assembling our list of areas of applications of
computers we received helpful replies from many organizations.
In our inquiry, we asked an additional question:
"If you have a computer program which relates to one
of these areas of applications, and would be willing to
make it available to other people on a reasonable basis
(such as rental or exchange), will you please mark the
area of application with the letter "p" (standing for
program available)?"
Following each company's name in the list below
is the number of "programs available" which they reported. It may of course be true that the company has
other programs which are "not available". We are setting up a card file of (1) areas of application and (2) who
has programs available. We shall be glad to try to
operate an information exchange, to bring together
people who have or want programs in particular applications. Please address any inquiry to: Applications

Another new.area in the field of automatic
machinery for handling information and acting in
regard to it is the field of robots, mobile machines which have apparatus for sensing, for
handling information, and for acting in generalpurpose, controllable ways.
Environments which human beings cannot enter
because of heat, cold, pressure, radiation, and
in which there are jobs to be done, have caused
some of these robots to come into existence.
Also general-purpose manipulative tasks, which
need to be repeated from half a dozen times up
to several hundred times, have led to the development of some of these robots.
Following is a first, preliminary, edition
of a roster of organizations in the field, and
two reports from two companies kindly sent to us
for use in the Computer Directory.

C. M. Col t
Consolidated Controls Corp.
Bethel, Conn.
The present market for robots to replace
human labor in routine, repetitive factory jobs
is something over $120,000,000, this company has
estimated, as a result of intensive market studies
which led to the development of the company's
Unimate, "teachable," universal work-handling
machine.
Studies in co-operation with 25 heavy industrial plants turned up more than 300 applications, involving 100 different kinds of operations in which robots of the Unimate type could
perform more efficiently than human labor. From
these observations, this company considers that
more than 40,000 places presently exist in industry in which Unimatc could cut costs and improve production. One major manufacturer has
put the number of Unimates which could be used
in its own plants at more than 1,000.
Among typical applications found for Unimate
were press operation, welding, loading materials,
143
- Shown here in a simulated factory activity, Unimate, the new "teachable" robot, by Consolidated
Controls Corporation, picks billets from a feed chute, puts them through a two-stage forging operation and delivers the finished parts to a conveyer,
transferring materials, forging operations, loading automatic lathes, packing cartons, assembly,
inserting and tightening nuts and screws, spraypainting and. hardness testing.
How does Unimate 'work? Here is a simplified
explanation, which applies to only one movement,
extension or contraction of arm length.
The hydraulic actuator p.rovides the "muscle".
It is controlled by a solenoid flow control valve.
The code disc of the shaft position encoder is
mechanically linked to the actuator so that it
must move cOincidentally with it. The pick-offs,
or reading heads, read the code combination presented at every position of the code disCi therefore, the code combination defines the position
of the disc and, in turn, the actuator, at any
time. Whenever the actuator returns to a given
position, the unique code pattern defines that
position.
The memory drum is shown in perspective with
the recording and readout heads mounted axially
along the surface. If we wish to record the
position of the actuator, the code number from
the encoder is stored on the drum. When a repeat
144
of this position is desired, the drum is turned
until the record is opposite the readout heads.
In the comparator, the record on the drum is
compared to the code from the converter and the
difference determined. The logic system acts
upon this difference and operates the control
valve to move the actuator in the proper direction to reduce the difference to zero. The actuator moves at maximum velocity when the error
is large, and very slowly as the error is reduced to a small amount.
The load moves a part of the required distance to be traversed at a maximum speed, and at
a predetermined distance from the final position,
the load is decelerated to a slower speed by
partially closing the valve. At another predetermined distance from the final position, the
valve closes further and the load is decelerated
still further. The second deceleration removes
essentially all of the kinetic energy from the
load and moving Unimate structure, and results
in a relatively slow speed.
When the actuator has moved to the desired
position, the comparator sees the same code number from both the drum and the encoderj therefore,
COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for June, 1961
the logic system halts the actuator by completely
closing the valve and moves the drum on to the
next command.
The magnetic drum memory, unlike most other
magnetic memory devices, can be "read" while
stationary. This property, extensively used in
the control of Unimate, makes the drum ideal for
a wide range of machine tool and materials handling applications. It can remain stationary,
providing a continuous reference signal against
which to compare actual movements of the device
being controlled. Only after actual movements
correspond with those indicated by the drum need
the drum step to its next position to indicate
a new end-point toward which the machine should
move.

heads which impress a magnetic pattern on the
drum. The drum then steps to its next position,
ready to receive the pattern corresponding to the
next movement of Unimate. This step-and-record
sequence may be continued until each row on the
drum, 200 in all, indicates a movement for Unimate.
After a sequence has been recorded, Unimate
can repeat the recorded movements indefinitely.
When its "repeat" button is depressed, the drum
steps to its first position. MagnetiC "read"
heads detect the pattern and initiate movements
which will bring Unimate's position into correspondence with the recorded pattern.
While Unimate is moving, signals generated
by shaft-position-to-digital converters attached
to its joints are continuously compared in a
specially designed comparator with the pattern
presented by the Dynastat drum. As Unimate nears
the end of its movement, the comparator slows the
action so as to avoid overshoot and over-stress
which might result from an instantaneous stop.
When the signals received from Unimate exactly
match those from the drum, action is stopped.
The drum then moves on to the next step in the
routine and the action is repeated until Unimate
has gone through its entire "memorized" routine.
At the end of the routine, the drum goes immediately back to its starting position, ready to
repeat the entire sequence.

As used in Unimate, the magnetic memory drum
has a capacity of 16,000 bits of information.
These are recorded in 200 rows around the circumference, each row consisting of 80 bits parallel
to the drum axis. The 200 rows correspond to the
number of distinct movements which Unimate can
"remember". The 80 parallel bits per row represent the number necessary to control all of the
functions which may be needed for Unimate to make
a movement and to actuate auxiliary machinery.
In recording a sequence of movements, Unimate is led by the hand to the first position in
the sequence. Shaft-position-to-digital converters generate signals corresponding to this position. A record button is pushed. The record
button actuates amplifiers which drive "write"

Robots for Automation
This laboratory's work on automated handling
systems has evolved from its work on nuclear
handling systems. The basic requirement of transferring an object from one position to another,
and perhaps changing its orientation and subjecting it to one or more processes during the transfer, can readily be accomplished by remotelycontrolled arms. The electrical commands which
cause the arm to execute a desired geometrical
path in space may be derived either from manual
inputs to a control console or from recorded
signals on a tape or other storage medium.
The Mobot Mark I is a hydraulically actuated
manipulatori the Mark IB, a hydraulically actuated manipulator available in modular formi and
the Mark II, an electro-mechanical system which
is also available on a modular basis.
An automation robot system. or universal
transfer device, is now under active development,
and employs conventional magnetic tape as a means
of recording and recreating motion sequences.
Any new sequence is "taught" to the machine by

Robots for Underwater
Parallel efforts in the broader field of
electronically-commanded remote handling in progress at this company include the development of
remotely-controlled underwater handling systems.
These perform many of the functions commonly
performed by deep-sea divers. The versatile,
remotely-controlled systems operate without limitation as to depth and period of immersion, and
offer great promise in developing the riches of
the ocean. One such machine is currently undergoing its final operating test.
Robots for Nuclear Environments
All the applications noted above are of
course in addition to the original uses of electronically-commanded Mobot systems in connection
with nuclear technology.
It is interesting to note that the basic research and investigations in nuclear remote handling prove to have application in the several diverse technologies noted above, and will no doubt
find still further application in the future.
an operator employing a manual control desk sImIlar to those used in remote operation. All of
the control signals are recorded on tape. When
this tape is played back, the motion sequences
are reproduced. Means are provided to ensure
that under changing conditions the geometrical
paths are reproduced with the desired accuracy.
This system offers considerable flexibility
in that ,programs are very readily changed and
may be pre-selected under control of external
sensing devices, permitting the machine to react
to a variety of external conditions. Speed,
versatility, and complexity of these machines
are potentially almost without limit.

TEACHING MACHINES
AND PROGRAMMED LEARNING
ROSTER
."
OF
One of the newly recognized areas in the field of
machines for automatic handling of information is the
area of machines and devices especially adapted to the
teaching or learning of human beings. Many of these
machines specialize in sequences of small items or
questions, each of which is responded to or answered
by the student, and corrected by the machine, before
the student proceeds to the next item or question.
The shortage of teachers in the United States,
the fact that many subjects are well suited to learning
in small increments, and the important recent discovery that many subjects can apparently be learned better
and faster by very careful programming of the information to be learned - all have caused a number of organizations to enter the field of supplying teaching machines
and/or programmed learning. Naturally, no teaching
machine is useful unless it contains a program.
Following is the first, preliminary, edition of a
roster of organizations in this area. Additions, corrections, and eomments are invited.

New RECORDAK DACOM System
translates computer language into plain English
",...,."eec!s up to 2aOOO characters per seconc!!
Name derivation ofREcoRoAK DACOM System-DAtascope Computer Output Microfilmer, DACOM is a trademark.
The RECORDAK DACOM System delivers incredible printout speeds which equal
or exceed computer speeds ... provides indexed microfilm records which are much easier
to file and use •.. introduces important advances in point plotting and logic diagramming.
First, let's consider the importance
of the RECORDAK DACOM System
as a Print Out Medium.
Its great advantage in speed over
mechanical printers turns lag time
into productive time, allows a more
continuous work flow. And its increased versatility gives you still
greater return on your investment in
electronic computers. Look at just a
few examples of how the RECORDAK
DACOM System can be applied to
varied operations.
• It o/Jtically combines computer data with
any office form design ... gives you,
for example, a complete customer statement on a single film image. Paper
facsimile copies of exceptional clarity
can be produced at high speed from
your microfilms by photographic and
other rapid copying methods.
• It provides the fastest, most accurate
method of point plotting.
150
• It records on film logic diagrams of electronic circuits.
Graphic Arts quality
Along with increased speed and versatility, the DACOM System provides graphic
arts quality in any type style you select.
Look at DACOM film in a RECORDAK
Film Reader and you'll fin::i it hard to
believe that the images produced from
invisible pulses on magnetic tape are
even sharper than the type on this page.
How RECORDAK DACOM System
simplifies data storage and
speeds reference
• The decoded information on as many
as eight 2,400-ft. reels of magnetic tape
can be recorded on a single 100-ft. roll
of 16mm RECORDAK microfilm.
• RECORDAK Microfilms (inserted in
magazines) can be "finger-tip" filed at
convenient reference stations. Any record out of millions viewed in seconds in
RECORDAK LODESTAR Film Read-
ers. Compare with the time lost now
searching through voluminous paper
records.
Learn how the RECORDAK DACOM
System may be applied to
your routines
Phone or write today for interesting details on the programming of the RECORDAK
DACOM for accounting, point plotting
and logic diagramming. Arrangements
can also be made for your group to see
