Processing unit 2 As in every scientific or other application, the business computer system lias at its heart an assembly which does the actual arithmetical processing of data. The central processor contains the electronic circuitry for carrying out arithmetic and other operations on data; for interpreting the coded instructions that must be placed in storage to direct the operation of the system; and for controlling all of the other parts of the system as a result of the interpretation of these instructions. It also contains the operator’s console, which provides a certain amount of access to the information in the computer and allows for manual control of the system when it is started.
