But at half a dozen U.S. medical and cybernetic research centers, scores of human computers are at work trying to bring the card-shuffling business machines and the electronic computer into more areas of medicine. At System,Development Corp. in Santa Monica, Calif., an eleven-man team under Engineer Charles J. Roach, 38, has figured after a half-year study that no fewer than six areas invite automation.
