Mathematical Model. After connecting the bolometer to the 5-ft. infra-red telescope at the University of Arizona's Catalina observatory near Tucson, Low made careful measurements of R Mon's total energy output over a wide range of wave lengths. He found that the energy produced was much greater than earlier observations had indicated (about 870 times that of the sun), and the star was radiating with inexplicable intensity at the longest wave lengths. On the theory that something was obscuring the visible light, Low asked Smith to help work out a mathematical model of a bright...
Starting with a mathematical model of the present distribution of interplanetary dust, they produced a set of equations describing the primitive solar system when, like R Man, it was surrounded by a vast cloud of dust. Low checked the predictions of this model against his R Mon readings, and found an almost perfect match...
...exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution is a solid-state computer of 1957 vintage, the first practical large-scale model ever built. This cybernetic antique served as the guidance system for U.S. ICBMs until 1961 and ticked off more than 300 countdowns. The unit was built by the Burroughs Corp. of Detroit, which, though short on share of market-less than 4% com pared with IBM's 75%-is long on invention, reliability, and lately, profits...
Arithmometers to Computers. Next year Burroughs will provide U.S. Steel with the first components of its new B 8500 series, perhaps the most advanced and most powerful analytical machine ever built for business. Basic costs for this model are nearly $8,000,000, or $150,000 per month for companies who prefer to lease their equipment. Already customers are queueing up. U.S. Steel will pay $20 million for its souped up version, which will comprise 221 pieces of electronic brainery. The University of Wisconsin has also ordered a B 8500 for $15 million...
Follow Me, Boys! Walt Disney, who sometimes likes to represent America as a giant niceberg floating in an ocean of nostalgia, has now represented the model American male as a simpering scoutmaster...
