Title: Sally Title Record # 44196
Author: Isaac Asimov
Date: 1953-05-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Webpages: drabblecast.org, Wikipedia-EN
Language: English
Note: This was originally added to ISFDB with a 1951 date and the note "First appearance in New Tales of Space and Time, 1951." The only Asimov story in that publication though is In a Good Cause- which is an unrelated story. Collections that contain both stories, such as Nightfall and other Stories, credit the first appearance for Sally as Fantastic, May/June 1953.
Synopsis: Positronic brain-equipped cars acquire awareness and independence from humans.

35/-?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
