This system proved useful in statistical work and was important in the development of the digital computer . Hollerith's machine, used in the 1890 U.S. census , “read” the cards by passing them through electrical contacts. Closed circuits, which indicated hole positions, could then be selected and counted. His Tabulating Machine Company (1896) was a predecessor to the International Business Machines Corporation.

Tabulating machine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. tabulating machine constructed by Hollerith The tabulating machine was first invented by Herman Hollerith . Its first use was in the 1890 U.S. Census Hollerith's machine was developed to deal with an immense logistical problem. Due to rapid growth of the U.S. population from to , primarily because of immigration , it was estimated that the 1890 census would take approximately thirteen years to complete. The 1880 census had taken seven years to tabulate, and by the time the figures were available, they were clearly obsolete. As the U.S. government depended on the census figures to apportion taxation between the states and to determine Congressional representation , a faster way had to be found. Hollerith had been inspired by railway tickets Conductors used a hole punch to mark information on a ticket (for example, the destination and age of the traveller). Hollerith realized the card would act as an electrical insulator , except where the holes were punched.

General Computing Terms Herman Hollerith Born in 1860 in Buffalo, NY, Herman Hollerith was the creator of the Hollerith Electric Tabulating System, the ancestor to computers as we know them today. The system used cards with punched holes to tabulate data. Though first used in 1887 for calculating mortality statistics, Hollerith's punch card system became widely known when it was used to tabulate the U.S population during the 1890 census. Hollerith founded the Tabulating Machine Company in 1896. His punch card machine, now fitted with automatic card feeders, was used again in the 1900 census. But by 1910, the US Census Bureau decided to build their own machines because Hollerith was charging too much money for use of his machines. In 1911, Hollerith's Tabulating Machine Company merged with another machine manufacturer to form Computer Tabulating Recording Company. The new company struggled to gain market share for nearly ten years, and it wasn't until 1920 that it became a leader in the counting machine industry. Hollerith retired in 1921. In 1924, under the direction of Thomas Watson, Sr., the company was renamed International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).

Herman Hollerith Born February 29, 1860 - Died November 17, 1929 Art of Compiling Statistics; Apparatus for Compiling Statistics Patent Nos. 395,781; 395,782; 395,783 Inducted 1990 Herman Hollerith invented and developed a punch-card tabulation machine system that revolutionized statistical computation. Born in Buffalo, New York, the son of German immigrants, Hollerith enrolled in the City College of New York at age 15 and graduated from the Columbia School of Mines with distinction at the age of 19. His first job was with the U.S. Census effort of 1880. Hollerith successively taught mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked for the U.S. Patent Office. The young engineer developed an electrically actuated brake system for the railroads, but the Westinghouse steam-actuated brake prevailed. Hollerith began working on the tabulating system during his days at MIT, filing for the first patent in 1884. He developed a hand-fed 'press' that sensed the holes in punched cards; a wire would pass through the holes into a cup of mercury beneath the card closing the electrical circuit. This process triggered mechanical counters and sorter bins and tabulated the appropriate data. Hollerith's system-including punch, tabulator, and sorter-allowed the official 1890 population count to be tallied in six months, and in another two years all the census data was completed and defined; the cost was $5 million below the forecasts and saved more than two years' time.
