   Really, Sir Clive could not make up his mind where to put it.  Some Spectrums   
   had it on the left side making them LPU machines.  Some had it in the back   
   for BPU, and some in the front for FPU.   
      
   At one time Sir Clive tried his hand at making crop circles.  Somehow they   
   all turned out square!   
      
   However, there were no spectrums with it in the center.  So, no Spectrums   
   with a CPU.    ;-)
