Utah County, Utah 8 SUNDAY HERALD Back From Arctic, Professor Learns Of Korean War Mechanical Brain, Velvet Time Clock, Help Make Things Easier For! the Office Boss By RICHARD KLEINER NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) A mechanical brain that does about office but everything around anwas the bit sit on the boss' lap of the 1950 National Business Show here. The brain is called "Univac," and was shown by Remington Rand. You feed in problems at one end, and out come the solutions at the other end. It matches merges, selects, sorts, adds, subtracts, multiples, divides and with a little persuasion, it might pick winners in the office football pool. Its value around an office lies in its ability to solve quickly problems which take humans a long time. It can do, for example, complete accounting reports; it can process and tabulate the normal data all businesses must process and tabulate; it can figure out what profit will be next August if you first give it all the facts. will And. since a Univac set-u- p run somewhere around $500,000, it might even bankrupt you. The Business Show, an annual display of the latest office machines and equipment, also produced some simple gadgets. One of the newest was a device called the Denominator, which is really the tabulator with delusions of grandeur. The tabulator is a gimmick that looks like a stop watch. It checks, for example, the number of people who pass by a certain point. As each person passes, the tabulator is clicked. At the end of the day, it registers the total number of clicks. The Denominator is simply a machine that puts a lot of tabulators together. Its uses are many. One is now used by a restaurant. Each tabulator on their Denominator is labelled with one item on the menu. The cashier clicks the proper tabulator, and the restaurant keeps a complete check on what items are the most popular, without having to go over each customer's check one by one. Another new item displayed at the Business Show was the Automatic Time Computer. It is a time clock that prints, in addition to the usual time in and time out. the elapsed time. Thus there is a double-chec- k on the hours employes work. ed ri " t , J I An Ohio State university geology profes sor, just returned from Baffin island inside the Arctic Circle, had to be told "there's a war going on."

''We had heard that there was some trouble in Korea, but I didn't know the United States was involved," the professor said. r Goldthwaite was one of a party of 22 scientists who explored parts of the island that had never been visited. They lived in tents island where oh the wind-swesummer temperatures average about 20 degrees. Avalanches Perilous i However, it wasn't the cold days they had to watch. Gold thwaite said, but the warm ones, and avalanches. "You could never tell where an avalanche would start, so we had to try to outguess nature in pitching our camps," Goldthwaite said. "One of those slushers could have wiped us out.

Anyhow, the bill only came to about $150 in American money." During the war Goldthwaite served in the army air force's tropical science mission.

Each Saturday night she is seen in approximately 50 cities by an estimated audience of 10.000.000. "When I think of that big audience, it scares me," she said.
