dual cpu add time
editI think it is just a minor error in an abbreviation, but the increase in add time from 14 microseconds to 44 msec seems incredible.
The dual-CPU MOBIDIC B .... Although the machine's speed was slower overall (adds were 44 msec),...
I think 44 microseconds was meant. The abbreviation msec is usually read as milliseconds. The abbreviation symbol for "micro" is the Greek letter μ (small mu). When Greek letters are not available sometimes the Roman letter u is used instead.
