New RCA electron tube gives today's amaziij computing machines an indispensable memorj

So complex are present scientific studiessuch as in atomic research — that just working out the "arithmetic" could take all of our scientists' time.
A short cut is found in huge electronic computers, capable of adding or multiplying numbers as large as one thousand billions in millionths of a second. But such speed is valueless unless — with comparable speed — the results of countless computations can be kept "on file" and taken out again.
Such a "file" now exists in a "memory" tube, developed at RCA Laboratories. Electronically it retains figures fed into calculating machines, stores them, memorizes new ones — speeds intelligent solutions through mazes of mathematics.
Uses of RCA's "memory" tube are many. It will help atomic scientists acquire new and needed knowledge . . . provide new information on supersonic flight . . . even help make rapid weather predictions! It is an invaluable instrument in the scientist's campaign to penetrate the unknown.
For your benefit:
Development of the "memory" tube is jul one example of the many basic advance! pioneered at RCA Laboratories.
