The Big Brain

The mutual broadcasting system presents The Mysterious Travel, written, produced, and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Coughlin. And starring tonight, two of Radial's foremost personalities, Leon Janney and Marilyn Erskine in The Big Break.

This is The Mysterious Travel, inviting you to join me on another journey to the realm of the Australian and the Terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip and it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back and a good trip on your nerves and be comfortable if you can. As you hear the story I call... A big brain. My story begins in one of the manufacturing plants of the worldwide business machines corporations.

In one wing of the Clad is housed the huge laboratories of the company, where newly designed and experimental calculating machines are built and tested. It is evening, and the vast laboratory with its long rolls of intricate looking machines is deserted, except for a young university professor, Lester DeWitt, tall, lanky and In his early 30s, Dewitt stands before a massive machine that dwarfs all others in the laboratory.

Swiftly, efficiently, he presses tabulating keys on the control board oblivious of all else. 3.5 to 1 to the 8th digit, 7 4.3 to the 3rd digit, 7 4.56 to the 4th digit. Is that due to Professor Dewitt?

Oh, yes, Pop, I'm at the big brain. 6.5 to 7 to the 4th digit. Oh, you've got your visitive professor. No, visitor. Julia. I'm glad to see that you at least remember my name. Of course, Professor, I'm not supposed to know anyone in here, but our engineers, university people like you said.
