British -Built `Brain'
Beats U.S. Invention
British inventors have come up
with a new two -ton mechanical
"braid" hailed as; 25, times smarter
than its smartest American cotntt-
erpart.
Dr. M. 't'- Wilkes, Director of
the Cambridge University Mathe-
matical Laboratory, said the Uni-
versity -built memory monster was
nearly finished.
"It may make discoveries in en-
gineering, astronomy, and atomic
physics," he told a reporter. "It
may even solve economic and phil-
osophical problems too complicated
for us^
"There are many vital questions
we wish to put to it."
Dr. Wilkes said the machine
could handle 900 numbers ten de-
cimals long. He said the best Ante -
dean "brain" built in Philadelphia
for the American Army, handled
only 20 such numbers.
The Cambridge "brain" has been
nicknamed "EDSAC," because its
full name, the natural scientist ex-
plained, is "electronic delay storage
automatic calculator,"

how many you receive from one of

amounts. to £0 ($24) a week; so

of tea this morning, which we drink
in bed; and then turn over till the
paper comes at 9 a.m.
I got up then, I' want to check

Groucho Marx was among those

he said softly. "That's real loyalty
