Mechanical Brain Analy7es

a giant rotor which engineers had
tried unsucceSsfully for IS years to
balance. The rotor weighed 250,000
pounds and was nearly 40 feet long.
For four days the brain calculated.
Then it indicated a spot where a IS
pound weight should be added The
answer was perfect.
1t has also been tried in manufac-
ture of small motors. In one shop
alone it has saved $40 a day, COM
pared with former rules-of thumb
balancing methods.
Like the human mathematician, this
mechanical brain does not need to
touch the rotor" to make its oalcu-
lations.
Magnets gather the data" for this
radio mind. They pick up every
vibration, down to movements Of five
millionths of one inch.
A radio pickup, almost a duplica-
ton of the voice pick-ups for radio
speech, observes these magnetic i'm
pulses. 1t changes them into radio
currents, which run to a big, black
box, the head" housing this brain.
On the face of the box are dials.
BY turning them. engineers get the
brain to analyze the meaning of the
vibrations signaled by the magnets,
The dials finally read the spot where
the rotor Is unbalanced and the num-
Der of grams weight needed there.
This new brain is strictly single
track mind. 1t can't solve any other
problem. But there are millions of
rotors. In the civilized world human
ears are seldom out of reach Of rotor

JAPANESE STRIKE
OVER D|SRESPECT
Ship Officers Claim Emperor
Was Insu|ted-GeiSha
Girls Sit Down.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, March 1.-Japanese geisha
girls and merchant marine officers
were out on strike today in two labor
conflicts-but with diverse aims.
The men sought honor for the En-
peror: the girls asked only recognition
of the geisha guild to protect the
gayly clad sing-song entertainers.
Eleven ships officers, not common
seamen, charged their employers were
disrespectful of Emperor Hirohito
when they failed to order flags hoisted
when the Emperor reviewed the jap
anese grand fleet last October.
Sit Down in Temple.
The girl entertainers. perched in a
Buddhist temple near Osaka on the
third day of a sit-down strike. de-
manded recognition of their guild be-
fore they would consider a return to
Osaka's fashionable cafes and geiSha
houses.
The brightly goWned geisha declined
police requests to come down from
their mountain retreat, and Scornfully
rejected their employers pleas to come
back and soothe Osaka's tired business
men.
The girls. their leaders said, were
catching up on long-neglected prayers
and sleep.
There were indications the sit-down
strike might be joined by others of
OSakas 1000 Geisha, while news
papers reported all Japan's $4,000
Geisha we're watching their sisters
strike with breathlesS interest.
Ship Is Tied Up.
The maritime trouble began at
Yokohama when the chief engineer
and ten other officers quit the liner
Katori Maru, tying up the vessel due
to sail for London. Other ships be-
longing to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
Japanese mail ship company were
threatened with similar action which
might hamper Japan's largest steam
ship company.
The officers union, which claims
500 N. Y. K. officers as members, de-
manded that the company's direc-
torate formally recognize responsible
ty for an act of leSe majeSe, apollo
gize in newspaper advertisements, and
reorganize the company's marine
bureau on a basis of 'Japanism," the
religious-p patriotic creed of super
patriots.
