The scientists from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible.
