This balance was read into the accumulator when the card was inserted into the carriage.

There was no division instruction ( though a number of division subroutines were available ) and no way to directly load a number into the accumulator ( a “ store and zero accumulator ” instruction followed by an “ add ” instruction were necessary for this ).

The processor had seven 8-bit registers, ( A, B, C, D, E, H, and L ) where A was the 8-bit accumulator and the other six could be used as either byte-registers or as three 16-bit register pairs ( BC, DE, HL ) depending on the particular instruction.

Armstrong was responsible for developing the hydraulic accumulator.

The accumulator was a very significant, if unspectacular, invention, which found many applications in the following years.

It was possible to wire the carry of one accumulator into another accumulator to perform double precision arithmetic, but the accumulator carry circuit timing prevented the wiring of three or more for even higher precision.

Three digits of one accumulator ( 6 ) were used as the program counter, another accumulator ( 15 ) was used as the main accumulator, a third accumulator ( 8 ) was used as the address pointer for reading data from the function tables, and most of the other accumulators ( 1 – 5, 7, 9 – 14, 17 – 19 ) were used for data memory.

Whirlwind operated much like a reverse Polish notation calculator in this respect ; except there was no operand stack, only an accumulator.

The single 48-bit accumulator was fundamentally subtractive, addition being carried out by subtracting the ones ' complement of the number to be added.

# The accumulator was 38 bits long ( adding 2 overflow bits ).

Reich lost his position at the New School in May 1941 after writing to its director, Alvin Johnson ( 1874 – 1971 ), to say he had saved several lives in secret experiments with the accumulator ; Johnson was aware of Reich's claims that he could cure cancer, and told him the New School was not an appropriate institution for the work.

While Reich was in Arizona in May 1956, one of his associates sent an accumulator part through the mail to another state in violation of the injunction, after an FDA inspector posing as a customer requested it.

In Kerouac's popular novel On the Road, the orgone accumulator was treated more as another type of drug than as a medical device: primarily a stimulant, with strong sexual overtones.

The beaming ROK was carrying a thirty-caliber machine gun ; ;

He was caught in a machine.

When he showed this model as his `` solution '' as to how the Howe sewing machine operated, he was told he was `` wrong '', and discovered to his amazement that the Howe Machine, which was unknown to him in detail, used two threads while the one that he had perfected used only one.

Thus was invented the single thread sewing machine, which Mr. Gibbs in partnership with Mr. Willcox decided to bring to Brown & Sharpe with the proposal that the small company undertake its manufacture.

The child of this problem was Mr. Brown's famous Serial No. 1 Universal Milling Machine, the archtype from which is descended today's universal knee-type milling machine used throughout the world.

That achievement was his creation of the universal grinding machine, which made its appearance in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.

This machine, like its milling counterpart, was the antecedent of a machine-family used to this very day in precision metalworking shops throughout the world.

Along with J. R. Brown's other major developments, the universal grinding machine was profoundly influential in setting the course of Brown & Sharpe for many years to come.

During his presidency, the company's physical plant was enormously expanded, and the length and breadth of the Brown & Sharpe machine tool line became the greatest in the world.

This machine was demonstrated in two textile machinery exhibitions last year and was well received by the industry.

The one- or two-digit number of the index word or electronic switch was used in the operand of a symbolic machine instruction to specify indexing or as a parameter which is always an index word or electronic switch, e.g., 3.

After another treatment with the machine, he told her that `` her entire body was shot through with tumors and cysts ''.

And there was the case of Tom Hepker, a machinist, who was referred by a friend to a health machine quack who treated him with a so-called diagnostic machine for what Doctor Fraud said was a system full of arsenic and strychnine.

It was about that time, a board member said later, that Dr. Thomas G. Pullen, Jr., State superintendent of schools, told Dr. Jenkins and a number of other education officials that he would not talk to them with a recording machine sitting in front of him.

He pointed out to the commissioners that the agency was literally dependent now on the machine processing, `` and the whole wheels of the agency would stop if it broke down or the three or four persons directing it were to leave ''.

and therefore the atom was really just a little machine ; ;

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

Gavin's stallion was in the barn and he tightened the cinches over the saddle blanket, working by touch in the darkness, comforting the animal with easy words.

Cabot turned back to the men and he was drunk with the thing they would do, wild to break from the cloying warmth of the saloon into the cold of the ebbing night.

Gavin's face was bloodless with excitement.

Still, I was disgusted with myself for agreeing with Montero's methods.

His mouth was open, his neck corded with the strain of his screams.

Out in front of our walls the grass was covered with dead and dying men, war shields, lances, blankets and wounded and dead horses.

The morning air was filled with the sweetish odor of new-spilled blood, the acrid stench of frightened horses, and the bitterness of burned powder.

Above me a dark rider was whipping his pony with a quirt in an attempt to hurdle the bales.

He was shaking with anger, his breath coming in long, painful gasps.

The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

It was, I felt, possible that they were men who, having received no tickets for that day, had remained in the hall, to sleep perhaps, in the corners farthest removed from the counter with its overhead light.

He was a man in his late forties, with graying hair, of medium height ; ;

It was partially cemented by ages and pressure, yet it crumpled before the onslaught of the powerful streams, the force of a thousand fire hoses, and with the gold it held washed down through the long sluices.

The man was tall, thin, with a narrow face and a too-large nose.

The ground was covered with soft pine needles and the slope was gentle.

Was it not possible, after all, that the forest was in league with her and her child that its sympathy lay with the Culvers that she had erred in failing to understand this??

She regarded them as signs that she was nearing the glen she sought, and she was glad to at last be doing something positive in her unenunciated, undefined struggle with the mountain and its darkling inhabitants.

Having persisted too long in deliberate ignorance and denial of the forces that threatened her, Pamela was relieved now to admit their potency and to be taking definite steps toward grappling with them.

Unconcerned, indifferent, unmotivated, the forest was simply there -- fighting man's depredations with more abundant growth and man's follies with its own musical evening laughter.

He was handsome, with his coal-black hair and eyes, his fine-chiseled features.
