dual cpu add time

[edit]

I 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.

Yes, I just checked the Weik reference, adds are listed as 42 μsec. I will change the article.
