...Breakthrough. Martin talks enthusiastically of his "breakthrough in education," scorns the experimental nature of other TV projects, says emphatically: "We are not making comparisons with live classes. We're just not in the business of conducting research. We are putting three more full courses on film, and by the end of the year we will have another three under way. This is not an experiment; we are switching over...
Millions for Research. The breakthrough at Macy's is the result of a major advance at venerable N.C.R., the world's No. 1 seller of cash registers and No. 2 maker of office equipment (after International Business Machines). N.C.R. is hustling to expand beyond mechanical to electronic machines.

Called pulse-servos, such motors have been in operation for years; the problem was that the fastest available could handle only 1,700 pulses per second, which was not enough for really sophisticated work. The great breakthrough came with the development of a super pulse-servo that could handle 6,000 pulses per second, fast enough to direct the most complex piece of milling work. To start the system, the operator merely runs the machine through its work by hand a first time. As he performs...
