MABEL
Ticktacktoe-playlng robot
New York, N.Y. Mabel, the
lady robot who plays ticktacktoe
' and the only robot with a soft
heart, is among the ten Young
Women of the Year who were
awarded 1949 Merit Awards for
creative achievement by Made
moiselle magazine today.
The awards were presented
for the seventh year In succes
sion to ten young women in
their twenties and early thirties
who have already made a dis
tinctive mark in their fields and
are expected to achieve even
greater honors.
On hand to accept the award
for Mabel, the 80-pound lady
mechanical brain, was her nine
teen-year-old inventor, Robert
Haufe of Pasadena, California,
Mabel's primary interest lies
in matching wits with man, at
which she most often wins and
never gets less than a draw, just
like a woman.
Mabel is only one year old
and the youngest woman ever to
receive a Merit Award. Haufe
made her while he was an un
dergraduate at the California In
stitute of Technology, out of sal
vaged telephone and radio
equipment and war surplus ma
terials.
