Topic: Tabulating machine

Ads by Google      Punched Card Machinery The term "tabulator" was dropped at this time, and the machines were marketed as electric accounting machines was to dominate the punched card scene for the next 30 years in much the same way that the IBM System/360 series was later to dominate the computer scene. It is now generally accepted that the key even that signaled the end of the punched card era and the dawn of the computer age was the launch of the IBM 1401 computer in 1959. Introduced in 1906, the automatic tabulator was used to summarize and tabulate the data in a deck of cards at a speed of 150 cards per minute. http://homepages.transy.edu/~jmiller/web706/pf24.htm   (1846 words)      School of Information Science - Hall of Fame This machine laid the foundation for the development of the electronic computer. Herman Hollerith improved the efficiency and accuracy of data processing by inventing a tabulating machine which was the first to used punched cards. In 1911, the Tabulating Machine Company merged with another to become the Computer Tabulating Recording Company. http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~mbsclass/hall_of_fame/hollerith.html   (289 words)      Tabulating Machines In 1927, IBM advertised several electric machines: key punches, sorting machines, tabulating machines, and accounting machines that added data and printed data and output. The machine to the right appears to be an IBM Type 405 Alphabetic Accounting Machine, which had a printer. This machine is in an exhibit at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC Students using IBM Type 31 alphabetic duplicating key punches. http://www.officemuseum.com/data_processing_machines.htm   (2109 words)      Douglas W. Jones on Mark Sense Voting The Election Systems and Software Models 550 and 650 optical mark-sense ballot tabulating machines are typical of this class of scanners, although unlike the illustration in Figure 3, they use fiber optics between the light-emitting diodes, the photosensors and the ballot. This ballot design error was not apparent on the two other optical mark-sense tabulating systems used in the state, and therefore, the class of voter error this design error elicited was not a problem in counties using the other systems. In addition, if possible, the tabulating machines used for the recount should not be the same machines used in the original count; this ensures that the ballots will be seen by different scanners and it maximizes the likelihood that marginal marks will be interpreted differently on the recount. http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/voting/optical   (11653 words)      Encyclopedia: Tabulating Machine Company The IBM iSeries minicomputer (in its 24-year history also variously known as i5, AS/400 and System/38) is the world's largest-selling computer family, if PC-type machines are excluded. It has been calculated that, if the Rochester, Minnesota facility that produces the machine were independent, it would be the third largest computer company in the world. The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a mainframe computer system family announced by International Business Machines on April 7, 1964. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Tabulating-Machine-Company   (7391 words)      British Tabulating Machine Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1959 BTM merged with former rival Powers-Samas to become International Computers and Tabulators Limited (ICT). In 1933 BTM started the development of its own ambitious machine, the Rolling-Total Tabulator. ICT later became part of ICL (International Computers Limited). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Tabulating_Machine_Company   (448 words)      Inventor Herman Hollerith It applied the idea of machines which could read and record numbers to the field of scientific calculation previously dominated by logarithms and other tables of functions and hand operated machines for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. On, January 8, 1889 Dr. Herman Hollerith received a patent for his tabulating machine, one of the forerunners to modern computers. By the late 1930s punched-card machine techniques had become so well established and reliable that Howard Aiken, in collaboration with engineers at IBM, undertook construction of a large automatic digital computer based on standard IBM electromechanical parts.Article by Michelle A.

Hollerith's Tabulating Machine Company became the Computer Tabulating Recording Company in 1911 but soon lost the market for counting machines. Finding the loom not really applicable to data storage and acquisition, Hollerith designed machines which used hole-punched paper tape to record and read data. http://www.angelfire.com/ma/kilenm/2k02ppl.html   (1261 words)      History and Evolution of Computer Industry Because of this machine, Babbage is known as the "Father of the Computer". This machine would have a memory unit, an arithmetic unit, a punched card unit and external storage devices.

The machine becomes important both in scientific and commercial computation, and about 1500 of them are eventually made. IBM therefore started work on their own P.C. This computer had to be a state-of-the-art machine in order to compete, but had to be produced very quickly due to the amazing growth of competitors. http://www.bsu.edu/web/johueston/TCOM101/CompanyProfile/history.html   (1568 words)      Patent 1710691 One of the objects of the present invention is to produce a machine capable of performing both tabulating and sorting functions simultaneously, and also of performing either of these functions separately. Another object is to devise a sorting machine compact and simple in construction, and convenient to operate; wherein the cards may be inserted and extracted with great ease. Attempts have been made to combine the tabulator and sorter, but such machines have heretofore been so involved and complicated that they have never come into general use. http://www.uspto.gov/web/menu/busmethp/1710691.html   (3896 words)      The Beginnings of Computing What emerges from the history of these machines is that over a long period of time many people have-often without being aware of the work of others-contributed to the development of the machines with which we are now so familiar. What is not generally known is that the machine did not compute or calculate, but simply recorded non-numerical data (gender, marital status, and so on). The work was done from Babbage’s original drawings and the machine was found capable of being used with then (1960s) modern programming techniques. http://www.noccc.org/bytes/articles/v01/493.html   (1930 words)      Dr.Herman Hollerith (Tabulating Machine) On, January 8, 1889 Dr. Herman Hollerith received a patent for his tabulating machine, one of the forerunners to modern computers.

By means of switches, operators could instruct the machine to examine each card for certain characteristics, such as profession, marital status, number of children, and so on. Hollerith's idea was to use Jacquard's punched cards to represent the census data, and to then read and collate this data using an automatic machine. http://pkirs.utep.edu/mit5312/Additional%20Coverage/Tutorials/ISTypes/Early/herman_hollerith.htm   (522 words)      Boston.com / Business / Unraveling an innovation's humble beginning This central idea of building a machine that could be programmed to understand basic rules and to follow specific instructions has taken shape in different and successively more powerful forms over time. His book deftly shows how even the most surprising breakthroughs are based on the work of others, and need a host of enabling factors to take root. For example, he devotes considerable material in this book to fabled inventor Charles Babbage, a London genius of the 1800s who saw the link between Jacquard's breakthrough and the promise of a computer, which he termed an Analytical Engine. http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2004/12/26/unraveling_an_innovations_humble_beginning   (538 words)      FAQ - Manual Recount Procedures These decisions were made in the original count and in the machine recount.
