The Burroughs Large Systems Group produced a family of large 48-bit mainframes using stack machine instruction sets with dense syllables. [NB 1] The first machine in the family was the B5000 in 1961, which was optimized for compiling ALGOL 60 programs extremely well, using single-pass compilers.
The adding machine range began with the basic, hand-cranked Class 1 which was only capable of adding. [citation needed] [2] The design included some revolutionary features, foremost of which was the dashpot which governed the speed at which the operating lever could be pulled so allowing the mechanism to operate consistently correctly. [3]
Other reserved memory locations controlled operand sizes when that size was not constant. The B3500 was similar to the B2500 but with a faster cycle time and more expansion choices. The B2500 had a maximum of 60 K bytes of core memory and a 2 microsecond cycle time. The B3500 had a maximum of 500 K bytes and a 1-microsecond cycle time.
HP-GL, short for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language and often written as HPGL, is a printer control language created by Hewlett-Packard (HP). HP-GL was the primary printer control language used by HP plotters. [1] It was introduced with the plotter HP-9872 in 1977 and became a standard for almost all
Industrial shredder. This shredder is set up in line with a granulator, in order to reduce the size of the processed material more. An industrial shredder is a machine used to break down materials for various applications such as recycling, volume reduction, and product destruction. Industrial shredders come in many different sizes and design ...
In the United States, 50% of homes had disposal units as of 2009, [12] compared with only 6% in the United Kingdom [13] and 3% in Canada. [14]In Britain, Worcestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council started to subsidize the purchase of garbage disposal units in 2005, in order to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and the carbon footprint of garbage runs.

The first paper shredder is credited to inventor Abbot Augustus Low, whose patent was filed on February 2, 1909. [1] His invention was never manufactured because he died prematurely soon after filing the patent. [2] Adolf Ehinger's paper shredder, based on a hand-crank pasta maker, was the first to be
