Factual error: When the messenger has given the photos and materials to the doctor, the data is given to 'DA' or differential analyzer (just like in earth vs the flying saucers). What is shown is a standard card sorter which does nothing but put cards in order. This machine then outputs its info to a standard plotter which can only produce x-y diagrams. It would be easier to do the verification calculations by hand using a slide rule and some graph paper.
