The article sets out a mechanical procedure for eliminating lexical ambiguities in machine translation in cases where a word in the source language has a number of equivalents in the target language. It can be argued for this method that it does away with the need for multiple meaning analyses, for "look-up" operations, and for some machine subroutines and programming, and thus minimizes machine time. Furthermore, it is generally agreed that machine translation will be realized for one limited universe at a time and not for "language" as a whole.
