He wanted to know what time was available from Sept. 15 through Dec. 14. PGW salesman J. Haskell put the question to the electronic brain system, and this is what came out. For example, it showed that Mr. Silvernail could buy at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday between "Take Off" and "Private Secretary" for $250. THE SOLUTION: After Mr. Silvernail looked over the availabilities, he placed the order with Mr. Haskell, who in turn relayed the information to the electronic brain. The resulting "Television Confirmation Broadcast Order" shows what he bought and what it cost him, all in one fast operation.
