The computer, dubbed univac, short for universal automatic computer, Is expected to give the nation fairly conclusive clues of the final results earlier than previously possible. The $600,000 apparatus, which utilizes 50 miles of wire, 500,000 soldered joints and 5500 vacuum tubes, will do its stuff on a television network Nov. 4. The elephant-minded machine has already begun absorbing figures on hour-by-hour election totals of 1944 and 1948 for each of the 48 states.

Univac will use these statistics as comparisons when early returns start pouring in. It is expected that within a few seconds the machine will forecast what the final 1952 totals will be from each state.
