The G-15 has a drum memory of 2,160 29-bit words, along with 20 words used for special purposes and rapid-access storage. The base system, without peripherals, cost $49,500. A working model cost around $60,000 (over $500,000 by today's standards). It could also be rented for $1,485 per month. It was meant for scientific and industrial markets. The series was gradually discontinued when Control Data Corporation took over the Bendix computer division in 1963.

Knuth–Bendix Completion Algorithm
The Knuth–Bendix completion algorithm (named after Donald Knuth and Peter Bendix) is a semi-decision algorithm for transforming a set of equations (over terms) into a confluent term rewriting system. When the algorithm succeeds, it effectively solves the word problem for the specified algebra. Buchberger's algorithm for computing Gröbner bases is a very similar algorithm. Although developed independently, it may also be seen as the instantiation of Knuth–Bendix algorithm in the theory of polynomial rings. Introduction For a set ''E'' of equations, its deductive closure () is the set of all equations that can be derived by applying equations from ''E'' in any order. Formally, ''E'' is considered a binary relation, () is its rewrite closure, and () is the equivalence closure of (). For a set ''R'' of rewrite rules, its deductive closure ( ∘ ) is the set of all equations that can be confirmed by applying rules from ''R'' left-to-right to both sides until they are literal ...

Bendix Helicopters
Bendix Helicopters, Inc. was the last company founded by prolific inventor Vincent Bendix, in 1943 in Connecticut. It ceased operations in 1949. History It built a 10,000 square foot factory for helicopter production on East Main Street in Stratford, Connecticut in 1945. Bendix created 3 prototypes that used a system of coaxial rotors: Model K (1945), Model L and Model J (1946). Due to lack of sales and capital, in January 1947 the large factory building was sold to Manning, Maxwell and Moore, who were taken over by Dresser Industries in 1964.
