Herman Hollerith From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Herman Hollerith Herman Hollerith February 29 November 17 ) was an American statistician who developed the Jacquard 's punched card idea to represent the census data, and to then read and collate this data using an automatic machine. He was born in Buffalo, New York to German parents and graduated from Columbia University New York , where he received a bachelor's degree in and a Ph.D. in Hollerith did, while he spent a year ( ) on the Mechanical Engineering faculty at MIT , develop a prototype, partly inspired by the system used by railroad conductors in which holes punched in various places on a passenger's ticket identified the holder's gender, age group, etc. and partly inspired by the father of a personal friend (Dr. Billings) and then furtherly developed a mechanism for reading the presence or absence of holes in the cards by using spring-mounted nails that passed through the holes to make electrical connections, which made possible for the US Census Bureau to have the data from the census processed well before the next one would take place a decade later in which would otherwise be impossible by existing system.

17. Hollerith's Punched Cards of punched cards for data processing is credited to the American inventor Herman Hollerith, Herman hollerith herman Hollerith Copyright (c) 1997. http://www.maxmon.com/punch1.htm

Hollerith's Punched Cards a The first practical use of punched cards for data processing is credited to the American inventor Herman Hollerith , who decided to use Jacquard's punched cards to represent the data gathered for the American census of 1890, and to read and collate this data using an automatic machine. a Many references state that Hollerith originally made his punched cards the same size as the dollar bills of that era, because he realized that it would be convenient and economical to buy existing office furniture, such as desks and cabinets, that already contained receptacles to accommodate stacks of bills. Other sources consider this to be a popular fiction. Whatever the case, we do know that these cards were eventually standardized at 7 and 3/8 inches by 3 and 1/4 inches, and Hollerith's many patents permitted his company (which became International Business Machines (IBM) in 1924) to hold an effective monopoly on punched cards for many years.

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor Electric Tabulating System Herman Hollerith, inventor of the Hollerith Electric Tabulating System, was born in Germany and moved to the United States in 1848 with his family. He entered the City College of New York in 1875 and graduated from the Columbia School of Mines in 1879 with honors. At Columbia, one of his teachers, Professor W. P. Trowbridge, asked Hollerith to become his assistant. Hollerith agreed. When Trowbridge was later appointed Chief Special Agent to the Census Bureau, Hollerith remained with him and was given the opportunity to help in solving the problem of analyzing the large amounts of data generated by the 1880 U.S. Census. The nation's population had grown so large that it was becoming very difficult to tabulate the data manually. Hollerith was to look for ways of manipulating data mechanically. In 1882, Hollerith joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he taught mechanical engineering. It was at MIT that he began to develop a solution to the Census problem. He watched the way a Jacquard loom worked and saw that the punched cards could be a very efficient of storing information. His experiments led him to create a mechanism that could read the presence or absence of holes in punch cards by using spring-mounted nails that passed through the holes to make electrical connections. He continued to work on his ideas, leaving MIT in 1884 for a position at the U.S. Patent Office. That year he applied for his first of what would amount to more than 30 U.S. patents over the course of his career. This patent covered a system of using punch cards to convert information into electrical impulses, which would activate mechanical counters. With switches, operators could instruct the machine to examine each card for characteristics, such as profession, marital status, or number of children. a card was detected that met the specified criteria, an electrically controlled sorting mechanism could gather those cards into a separate container.
