(a) a digital machine that -
(i) has storage capable of storing not only the processing program
or programs and the data to be processed but also a program for
translating the formal programming language in which the
programs are written into machine language;
(ii) has a main storage that is directly accessible for the
execution of a program and has a capacity sufficient at least
to store the parts of the processing and translating programs,
and the data, that are immediately necessary for the current
processing run; and
(iii) is able, of itself, on the basis of the instructions contained
in the initial program, to modify, by logical decision, its
execution during the processing run;
(b) an analogue machine that is capable of simulating mathematical models
and comprises, at least, analogue elements, control elements and
programming elements; or
(c) a hybrid machine that consists of -
(i) a digital machine with analogue elements; or
(ii) an analogue machine with digital elements.
(2) A reference in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of sub-note (1) to a machine
shall be read as including a reference to such a machine in the form of a
system consisting of a variable number of separately housed units each of
which is part of the complete system, that is to say, a unit that -
(a) is either -
(i) the central processing unit; or
(ii) a unit capable of being connected to the central processing
unit, either directly or through one or more of the other
units;
(b) is specifically designed as part of such a system; and
(c) is either -
(i) a unit that is able to accept or deliver data, in the form of
code or signals, that can be used by the system; or
(ii) a unit that, as its main function, supplies continuously under
the control of the system to which it belongs, the appropriate
stabilised power level in response to the requirements of the
various units making up that system.
(3) A unit for the purpose of sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (c) of sub-note
(2) does not include a unit the output of which must be further modified by
the machine.".

meaning of the standard published under the number B62 - 1965 by, or on behalf
of, the association incorporated by Royal Charter under the name Standards
