...They have an oldtime oil boom on their hands, and they like it. The West Edmond boom has robbed the Kentucky and Illinois fields of every rig capable of boring deeper than 5,000 feet.

Aiken took two years to develop the theory on which the calculator is based, six more years to build the machine. Many operations can be done by laymen, with the use of a code book prepared by a mathematician. The operator feeds a problem into the machine by punching holes in a tape in a coded sequence. The tape then rolls over a drum, which picks up the message by means of mechanical feelers and closes electrical circuits that start the calculation process...

But Dr. Rock modestly doubted that science would ever be able to reproduce the complex of hormones and other substances in a mother's body required to develop the billions of cells that make up a human embryo.
