Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy), the inventor of EMERAC (used as a homoiophone metonym for ENIAC) and an efficiency expert, is brought in to see how the library functions, to figure out how to ease the transition.
For instance, "Hollywood" is used as a metonym for the U.S. film industry because of the fame and cultural identity of Hollywood, a district of the city of Los Angeles, California, as the historical center of film studios and film stars.
The headquarters of the intelligence agency of the German government, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), is located in Pullach, making it a metonym for the BND just like Langley is for the CIA.
