books So he studied mechanics took a bench In a machine shop and invented one of the moat fimillar robots the adding machine This robot doesn't resemble a human but It performs being In any way more rapimathematical computations dly arid far more accurately than the human brain (t cannot think for Itself but It has the power of obeying Instructions and If the Instructions are correctly given Its answer Is Inevitably correct This machine can not make a mistake Its human master can and frequently does The chance of error In giving the adding machine Its Instructions however la much lens than the chance of error by human beings to whom the task of the computations making might be Intrusted All business now relies on these robots for adding subtracting multidivision and tabulation plication They confine their operations to simple arithmetic Some print the totals on paper and another type shows the totals on dials Sets of wheels are shifted as keys are punched on the keyboard of the machine These keys are numbered from to 9 with a tenth key for zero The machine takes care of the nurner leal order of the numbers For instance If the number 23 enters Into the computation the 2 key Is first then the 3 key and the depressed mechanism takes care of their order to make them read 23 Some models can add two or more columns at the same time also add the totals for all the columns together When asked to subtract some of these robots use complementary numbers on their keyboards that Is the 9 also will have a numkey number ber 1 on It and the process of addition Is reversed The robot multiplies onsecutlve addition It divides by ractlng the divisor from the number to be divided as many times as the divisor Is contained in that number The operation Is automatically registered cn the counting wheels as the quotient The calculating machine similar to the adding machine but considerably more complicated Is generally used for multiplication and division because It performs these computations more quickly than does the adding machine The calculating machine most widely used does not keep a printed record of Its computations It Indicates the result on dials One type of the calculating robot causes the Items In the computation to appear Immediately on dials when the keys are depressed the operation of a crank clearing the figures off the dial faces when the computation Is completed All four arithmetical operations are performed on this robot as variations of simple arithmetic But the counting wheels are so arranged that they take short cuts over the simpler add Ing machine On another type of the calculating robot the amounts to be computed are first set up on the keyboard and the operation of the machine either by hand or electric motor effects the calculation Some of these machines show the figures to be computed on dials before Is made the computation to guard against human error In submitting the problem to the robot Totaling dials show the total in addition the product In multiplication the minuend or remainder in subtraction and the quotient In division A calculating robot that prints a complete record of all Its computations has recently been invented It the - factors figures out and prints prints the answer and accumulates the total of all the answers with a single operating stroke Separate dials on Its face show tbe multiplier In multiplication and the divisor In division as check against error This machine Is capable of twenty multiplications a minute This latest calculating robot Is used In business extensively It keeps books makes out bills credits partial payments and keeps an accurate record of balances the work of a doing and making no corps of bookkeepers mistakes of Its own Westers Newspaper Union )
