TO-DAY
And
TOMORROW
ROBOTS
Frank Parker Stockbridge

ROBOTS one thing well
Some years ago brilliant Euro
pean dramatist wrote a play in
which the principal characters were
machines having the form of men
and able to do anything human
being could do except to think. He
called the man-like machines "Ro-
bots. They were useful workers
in any kind of service until their
inventor equipped them with brains.
When they became able to think
they revolted and slew their human
masters.
The play, was of course, a satirical
comment on the relations of labor to
capitalistic employers. But many OF
the abirlities which it attributed to
the Robots have actually been built
into modern machines. Some of them
ever seem able to think.
Not long ago in Washington saw
machine in the Coast and Geodetic
survey Office which the men who run
it call "The Great Brass Brain. I"
Once set in motion, it can work out
with more than human accuracy the
exact time of high and low tide for
any port in the world at any future
date. But it can't do anything else.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1938-03-24

Engineers can make machines to
do any kind of useful work better
than men and women can do it. But
no machine can do as many differ
ent things as people can do, and be-
hind each machine there must be a
human brain to start it working and
to stop it when its work is finished.
Some time ago I visited the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology
to see the machine invented by
Dean Vannever Bush which solves
intricate problems in higher math-
ematics in a few minutes, where a
skilled human MATHEMATICIAN would
spend weeks. But the machine has
to be set by human intelligence to
solve just one problem and no 9TH
er.
AS a young man I used to visit a
machine-shop owned by my uncle,
and marvel at the muscular devel-
opment of the workmen. Years lat
er I visited the same factory and
saw some Of the same men sitting
in chairs watching the machines
which were doing the hard work
their own muscles used to do. The
machines had not taken their jobs
away from them, but had ightened
their labor.

DIRIGIBLES -. to be developed
am glad that Washington is
showing interest again in lighter
than-air navigation There is pend
ing in Congress a bill appropriating
three million dollars to build an ex-
perimental dirigible for the Navy,
somewhat smaller than the "Macon"
and the 'tAkron" which were
wreced off shore by storms.
The world had learned a lot about
dirigibles, and the fact that not one

conditions.
Mr.. O'Neal makes plea for larg-
er bodybuilding units, and the di-
version of large proportion of the
gasoline tax into secondary road
construction and maintenance. The
county, rather than the township,
should build and maintain such
roads.
Back in 1912 7 had a good deal to
do with getting the first Federal Aid
road bill through Congress. The
big idea then was the benefit to the
farmers. It looks now as If that aim
has been overlooked in favor of the
long-distance motorist, the freight
trucker and the bus lines.

HUMANS

HUMANS versatile machine
The human body is the most YER
satile piece of mechanism known to
science It can do more different
things than any machine that ever
was built. But it can't do any one
useful piece of work as accurately,
as rapidly or as untiringly as can
a machine built for that one pur-
pose alone. The machine never
makes a mistake, if it is set right
to start with. 1t obeys orders with
out thinking about them.
Factory labor is becoming more
and more matter of watching ma
chimes to see that they start and
stop at the right time The brains
which used to actuate the human
workman have been built into the
machine. That is why the unskilled
laborer who used to get about $1.50
a day can now earn SIS or more
day. With the aid of the machine
he can turn out more and better
work than the skilled workers form
erly was able to do by hand.
The greatest need of industry now
is more trained brains to design
machines with brains built in, and
more skilled hard workers to build
those machines, so that more un-
skilled men can have jobs running
them.

The loss of the 'sHindenberg" by

scared the Germans, who are now
loading helium gas from American
oil wells in German ships for use
in their new giant dirigible. With

the United States ought to be able
