The Mechanical Moron and Its New Calculator
A New York report on the TBM 701 mechanical calculator units, praised for speed and capacity yet mocked as “mechanical morons.” The article details its specifications, such as 14,000 mathematical operations per second, 11 cabinet units, 4000 valves, and magnetic drum storage, while noting debates over machine intelligence and autonomy. It cites experts like Dr. Cuthbert Hurt and LBM figures, and discusses the device’s potential to transform computation despite lacking independent logic.
