BRITISH EDSAC WILL SURPASS AMERICAN ENIAC A new British invention, the electronic delay storage automatic calculator (EDSAC) is now in the process of a 33-year-old director of Cambridge Mathematical laboratory. This new brain will have 25 times more knowledge than its American counterpart, Eniac, and is composed of some thousand valves, 32 4ft. mercury tubes, and gives the answers to such problems as 500 ten-figure numbers, or 1,000 five-figure numbers, and of research into engineering, astronomy and athom physics, and other problems too complicated for the human brain. 100,000 diff. calculations can be completed per minute.
