...thin-film circuits." In the Philco version they are glass or ceramic sheets a few hundredths of an inch thick, covered with foil-thin layers of tantalum, chromium and gold. On top of the gold is a photosensitive material that becomes insoluble when exposed to light. The diagram of a desired circuit is printed by strong light on the photosensitive surface. Then the unexposed parts are dissolved, and the bare gold and chromium on top can be etched away. By using a second masking coat in the same manner, the underlying tantalum is also removed in the intricate patterns...

The third chamber is a sausage-shaped balloon nine inches long, which is inflated in the gullet. Its pressure against the varices stops the bleeding...
Numbers for Words. Binary notation uses only two digits. 1 (yes) and 0 (no). Each digit tells whether a given power of 2 is part of the number with which the computer is dealing (see diagram).
