FALLS OPP. -- C.2:••.R.,. STATION 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," Too healthy I hear your aunt very rich.
