Conclusion
The automation of the setting of the count to a given time or number of pulses offers great advantages in the use of digital computers in experimental nuclear physics; in particular the operator becomes able to attend to several pieces of equipment at this time. In industry, a computer with a preset pulse count offers the possibility of automatically selecting the required number of articles.
With a certain elaboration of the lock control circuit, it becomes possible to program control machine tools, ovens, and other industrial equipment.
