we start building modular types of equip-
ment we also will save on equipment, For
exemple, the Beta Tape Counting Machine,
and believe me these are estimates, but
we think that the Beta Tape Counting Machine
estimate which is built right now, costs us
$2,000 per unit for recording.
When we go to IBM and amortize
the IBM punch ecard installation on 30
michines, which we eventually expect to
get out, that the cost per machine inolud-
ing recording facilfty 1s $1,700.

not only do we save on machines, but we
will also save annually on the cost of main~
taining that and our data is better,
I'a like to point out some of the
things we can get out of this. There's no
limit to the types of data we can feed in.
Should we want to get information to build
a multi-channel analyzer or have need to
order all the data from a multi-channel
gemma ray analyzer,
could be fed into the
IBM cards and the data reconstructed directly
from the computer,
We can add orders of magnitudes
to the machine without trouble,
For exe
