✦ Synopsis
Machines whose main purpose is to permute and sort data are studied. The sets of permutations that can arise are analysed by means of ÿnite automata and avoided pattern techniques. Conditions are given for these sets to be enumerated by rational generating functions. As a consequence we give the ÿrst non-trivial examples of pattern closed sets of permutations all of whose closed subclasses have rational generating functions.

If a sequence of transitive permutation groups G of degree n have orders which are not too large (log IGI--o(n~) suttices), then the number of orbits on the power set is asymptotically 2n/]GI, and almost all of these orbits are regular. This conclusion holds in particular for primitive groups.
The object of this paper is to study how many essentially different common transversals a family of convex sets on the plane can have. In particular we consider the case where the family consists of pairwise disjoint translates of a single convex set.
On the set of n2+ n + 1 points of a projective plane, a set of ta2 + n -I-1 permutations is constructed with the property that any two are a Hamming distance 2n + 1 apart. Another set is constructed in which every pak are a Hamming distance not greater than 2n + 1 apart. Both sets are maximal with r
If U and V are distinct points of a projective plane and I is a line not through U or V, then to each/, there corresponds a unique mapping, 2, of the pencil of lines through U onto the pencil through V such that for any line u, U su, u c~ u2 eL if a set R is used to label the lines through U, and th
