Condon, director of the national bureau of standardn. yesterday unveiled SWAC—standards western automatic computer. It ia the west’s first such computer. SWAC is able to solve within minutes problems which ordinarily -would take weeks OT months Dr. Harry 11. Huskey of the bureau -of standards designed and supervised construction of the machine. It was built under the sponsor ship of the air force's office of air research. -a«Fhe machine's speed is demonstrated by the fact that it adds to tua-diget number* In a millionth of * minute. It can also be used to make Ht•ful rsnslstlons from one lanRge to another in basic words, uskey said BWAC can solve rapidly such problems as detertftination of trajectories of rockets. bombs, and missiles; design 1 o? sir foils, wing* and component* ' of j-t planes; solution of equations relating to explosions, and solution of shi< Idin* problems such as those involved In flow of neutron* from a. uranium pile.
