A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE RANDOMNESS OF BINARY DIGITS COMPRISING: MEANS FOR RECEIVING AND GROUPING SAID BINARY DIGITS, COUNTING MEANS HAVING A PLURALITY OF COUNTERS CONNECTED TO SAID MEANS FOR RECEIVING AND GROUPING FOR PRODUCING A SIGNAL INDICATIVE OF THE NUMBER OF DIGITS, FIRST GATING MEANS CONNECTED TO EACH OF SAID COUNTERS FOR PRODUCING A FIRST SIGNAL WHEN THE NUMBER OF COUNTED DIGITS IS WITHIN A PRESELECTED RANGE, SECOND GATING MEANS CONNECTED TO EACH OF SAID COUNTERS FOR PRODUCING A SECOND SIGNAL WHEN THE NUMBER OF COUNTED DIGITS IS NOT WITHIN SAID PRESELECTED RANGE, A FIRST COUNTER MEANS FOR COUNTING THE NUMBER OF SIGNALS PRODUCED BY SAID FIRST GATING MEANS, WHEREBY THE OUTPUT OF SAID FIRST COUNTER IS INDICATIVE OF THE NUMBER OF CORRECT COUNTS, A SECOND COUNTER FOR COUNTING THE NUMBER OF SIGNALS PRODUCED BY SAID SECOND GATING MEANS, WHEREBY THE OUTPUT OF SAID SECOND COUNTER IS INDICATIVE OF THE NUMBER OF INCORRECT COUNTS, A GO INDICATOR CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST COUNTER FOR PRODUCING AN INDICATION WHEN THE NUMBER OF COUNTS OF SAID FIRST COUNTER EXCEEDS A PRESELECTED MAXIMUM, AND A NO GO INDICATOR CONNECTED TO SAID SECOND COUNTER FOR PRODUCING AN INDICATION WHEN THE NUMBER OF COUNTS OF SAID SECOND COUNTER EXCEEDS A PRESELECTED MAXIMUM.
