Photo Jerry Schumacher Atom Age Electronic Brains Keep Base Records Accurate Human beings are distinguished from other animals, because they can tell right from wrong, have a more fully developed memory, and are credited with having a con science. Here at Camp Lejeune there are machines that could be considered i nearly human because they're able to tell right from wrong, remember information, and if they make a I mistake, they're bothered by their | error enough to cease operation. At I least, that's one way of looking at it. The Machine Records Installa tion is the home of these strange and highly complicated electronic ?brains.'' Located in Building 1101 in the Industrial Area, approximately 50 officers and enlisted men are busy day and night feeding information into the machine, preparing reports printed by the electronic calcula tors, and putting information of all | types in the form of diepunched holes in cards. Under the present command of J<jQKieiiant Colonel Bruce W. Ham "Mtina, MRI No. 2 was established at Camp Lejeune in September 1949. Rosters and lists that would take w<?eks to prepare by hand are printed in a matter of a few hours on the large accounting machines, commonly known as "tabs." Embarkation rosters, monthly personnel rosters, housing reports, officer and enlisted assignment listings, special reports of all de scriptions are all "duck soup" for the tabs. Information is fed to the ma chines on special cards. After the information has been coded to save space and avoid repetition it Smyrna Drive-In THEATRE TUESDAY ?

J Once J snwmmiTKn is punched into the cards by key punch machines resembling large typewriters. The card emerges from the keypunch full of small ( rectangular holes. These holes are the same that appear in some government checks, j gas, water, or electric bills. Each card has 80 vertical columns for in formation and plenty of facts can be punched into that short space. For example, it Us posible to put ! a man's full name, rank, and serial , number on a card along with his , date of enlistment, regular or re serve status, MOS, race, marital sta tus, organization, pay, grade, date ol rank, Korean service and de pendents. Electrically "reading" the small punched holes, the accounting ma chines use this information with oth'er data it has "remembered" electrically to print many copies of a total, listing, or roster of names on a continuously-fed roll of paper. Time required for the machine to do all iU thinking and printing . about one item is less than aiseccmtl yet the same operation performed I by humans might easily take a mat | ter of minutes. Futhermore, the machine can be made to store up or "remember" the inlormation which is fed to it and later print totals or summarize from these facts equally as fast! And a machine never tires or I "takes five" for coffee. | The Machine Records Installa tion also prepares thousands of civilan payroll checks weekly, us ing the payroll date in a punched card. A reproducing punch is also I connected to the tab. At the same instant that the amount is being printed on the check, it is also be ing punched in the form of holes in a card passing through the repro ducer. The new card is then elec trically filed for reference, and the records are kept current. Should the reproducer make an error, it will automatically stop and show a red light. The error then easily* can be found. The alphabetic collator approach es a humag brain in its operation. Within it's metal "skin," its an atomy consists of dozens of elec tronic tubes, miles of wire, and hundreds of pieces of electrical and mechanical equipment* The collator is able to compare two punched cards for mistakes or arrangement and either rear range them in the correct order or reject the faulty card. It can also file two decks of cards together in the proper equence and check that order, much the same as you would do in arranging playing cards in your hand. The coUator makes and regis ters its decisions almost instan taneously. Another responsibility of the MRI's electrical "thinkers" is keep ing the file in the Camp Locator Section in Building 1 up-to-date. With hundreds of men reporting in and being discharged or transfer red off the base weekly, keeping track of these men would be a tre mendous job were it not for the OCEAH PARK DRIVE- M TUESDAY ?

Crowds Favor 'He's My Boy' It didn't take long for the doti racing fans to pick out the favorite of the current season at ihe Caro- 1 Una Racing association track west of Morehead City. In his first ap pearance at the track. He's My Boy became the favorite. The 65-pound. 23 - month ? old brindle dog had been delayed in his three schooling races due to sickness, and thus his first 5/ 16s run was Saturday night, June 21. He ran in the featured Uth race, got a terrible start from the 3-box. But the huge crowd of 2,700 tans, largest of the season, yelled as the dog showed speed and power at the turn, winning handily over Easy Whirl and Three Dots. He's My Boy comes to Morehead City with an outstanding reputa tion. Figures provided by Trainer James Rae, working the local en tries W the kennels owned by Fred Whitehead whose big dog farm is at Chanut, Kan., show the dog's prominence. He ran 23 times at Hollywood and Miami's Biscay ne tracks this past season, had seven firsts, four seconds and a third. The Whitehead champion is the son of a national champion, Beach comber, who won 99 races and was the outstanding canine in the coun try in 1949. The dam is Slever Sister. At Biscayne last winter He's My Boy was considered one of the top three dogs, and he is al ready a favorite to break Jack Archer's 5/16s record of 31.1 sec onds here.
