The Americaness and Problem Positions http://www.as.wvu.edu:8000/clc/Members/sondheim/americaness.mov The Processor The two paper tapes prepared on the perforator should agree. But whether or not they agree, a girl takes them over to the processor and puts them both in. The processor has two tape feeds, and she puts one tape on each and starts the machine. ... The Problem Positions Next, the girl takes the punched tape made by the processor over to a problem position that is idle. Two of the problem positions are always busy guiding the two computers. The other two problem positions stand by, ready to be loaded with problems. (from Edmund C. Berkeley, Giant Brains or Machines that Think, 1949) _
