 | | BINAC, the Binary Automatic Computer, was an early electronic computer designed for Northrop Aircraft Company by the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation in 1949. | | | The BINAC was a bit-serial binary numeral systembinary computer with two independent Central processing unitCPUs, each with its own 512- word (computer science)word acoustic mercury delay line memorydelay line Computer storagememory. | | | BINAC was significant for being able to perform high-speed arithmetic on binary numbers, with no provisions to store characters or decimal digits. |

| | "The BINAC (Auerbach, 1952) was a bit serial binary computer with a 512 word acoustic mercury delay line memory divided into 16 channels each holding 32 words of 31 bits with an additional 11 bit space between words to allow for circuit delays in switching. | | | The idea behind BINAC was to have all operations checked by running two sections of the computer independently and comparing each step on a high speed bus. | | | BINAC operations were checked by complete duplication of components, including the memory. |

| | BINAC was the first stored program computer in the US. | | | My first computer was BINAC, a computer designed and manufactured by Eckert/Mauchley. | | | All code was written in absolute machine language and our book of computer operations was a logic diagram. |

| | Mauchly, especially, saw the importance of software needs even before he and Eckert embarked on their industrial adventure and he worked for many years on providing the software customers would need if EMCC were to play a major role in the computer market. | | | As there was no market for computer systems outside government circles in the second half of the 1940s, Eckert and Mauchly pursued their dream by garnering contracts for machines in the hope that they could spread the development cost over enough contracts. | | | She even used some time programming chess and gin rummy games. |

For a while, the whole company was promoted in advertisements as "Remington Rand UNIVAC" since the name "UNIVAC" had become synonymous with computers. |

| | The ENIAC was modified to run as a stored-program computer (using the Function Tables for program ROM) and was demonstrated as such on September 16, 1948, running a program by Adele Goldstine for von Neumann. | | | The BINAC ran some test programs in February, March, and April 1949, although it wasn't completed until September 1949. | | | The Manchester Mark I grew out of the SSEM project. |

| | IBM and the Seven Dwarfs |
| | BINAC was delivered late, it was over budget, it was sloppily constructed, and there is some debate as to whether it ever worked correctly at all. | | | Ike Auerbach, longtime engineering colleague and member of the "executive committee" (such as it was) of EMCC, proposed that he and a few engineers go "off to one side" to build inexpensive BINAC-like machines to sell to universities, to generate capital so work on UNIVAC could continue. | | | (Trivia fact: Grace Murray Hopper, later a Navy Admiral and the author of the first compiler, was one of the lead programmers for BINAC.) |

| | Birding is NOT a crime!!!!: Field Trip to Northerly Island on October 1. |
| | BINAC had to park his car in Toledo yet still met up with two of the trip particpants and did the best he could considering the circumstances. | | | Of course, getting the facts straight has never been one of Randi's strong suits (especially not with respect to Northerly Island), so it's not surprising that she would be misinformed on this issue as well. | | | This is partially to ensure that if the head honcho gets pushed in front of a bus (or oversleeps), the show will still go on. |
