Reduced to simplest terms, the machine has ten "integrators," each of which is set by a hand dial to compute the effect of a variable quantity on the problem to be solved. Each dial sets two movable parts -an 8-in. stainless steel disk, mirror-smooth, and a smaller wheel with a knife edge in contact with the disk. Governed by precisely controlled friction, the speed of the small wheel is the crucial factor in solving any problem. A bevel gearing delivers that factor to the "answer table" where the factors from all the integrators are combined and the final...

The method of application was developed by Dr. John Donovan Strong and others from a plating process first hit upon by Thomas Edison. The glass disk is first thoroughly cleaned with blasts of electrons. It is then placed in a big sealed tank from which pumps suck almost all the air. Within the tank is a coil of tungsten wire covered with aluminum. When the wire is electrically heated the aluminum boils off as a vapor which, when it strikes...
