John W. Mauchly and the Development of the ENIAC Computer An Exhibition in the Department of Special Collections Van Pelt Library, University of Pennsylvania by Asaf Goldschmidt and Atsushi Akera Department of History and Sociology of Science University of Pennsylvania Introduction The year 1996 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the ENIAC computer, the first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. Built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, ENIAC is an acronym for "Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," but its birth lay in World War II as a classified military project known only as Project PX. The ENIAC is important historically, because it laid the foundations for the modern electronic computing industry. More than any other machine, the ENIAC demonstrated that high-speed digital computing was possible using the then-available vacuum tube technology. General View of the ENIAC, 1946. Photograph of John W. Mauchly, ca. 1940-50. We attempt in this exhibition Recommended texts, currently in print, to learn more about ENIAC and the development of the personal computer:

John W. Mauchly and the Development of the ENIAC Computer Out On Their Own, 1946-1951 As if the other controversies Mauchly and Eckert ultimately formed the Electronic Controls Company in downtown Philadelphia. Eckert assumed the task of designing a new computer system, more or less along the lines laid out in von Neumann's report. Mauchly, meanwhile, took on the more general task of identifying the uses of electronic computers. This duty was important, because as a private venture the Electronic Controls Company had to sell its machines if it were to survive. Photograph of quarters of the Electronic Control Company, 1949.

(click to expand to 55k) The company's first client was the U.S. Census Bureau. Mauchly recognized that the decennial census was but four years away and reasoned that he could sell a computer to the Census Bureau as a way of reducing its costs for tabulating its immense volume of data. As it turns out, the Census was attracted more to the speed rather than the economies afforded by the proposed new computer. Increasingly, manufacturers and government policy makers were seeking timely information about the national economy. The Census Bureau had expanded its operations to collect relevant data, but its processing capabilities were more limited, particularly when it involved some of the newer statistical sampling techniques. Given the great concerns

He went to school in Washington DC where his father was employed as a physicist in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institute. In 1925 John was awarded a scholarship by the State of Maryland to allow him to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He began studying engineering at Johns Hopkins but his interests changed in the course of his studies towards pure science and his first degree was in physics. Mauchly continued studying physics after taking his first degree and he was awarded his doctorate in 1932. He then taught physics at a number of different colleges and spent some time at the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC undertaking research on analysing the weather. He soon realised that to make weather forecasts it was necessary to reduce large amounts of data very quickly, and he began to look for mechanical help in making such computations. By 1940 Mauchly was teaching physics at Ursinus College near Philadelphia. While there he became interested in developing electronic computers which combined his interests in physics and engineering. It may seem strange today that someone with an interest in engineering would be drawn towards building computers but at this time a computer was a huge mechanical construction. Also Mauchly's interests were in electrical engineering and he looked for ways to develop electrical circuits for computation.

In 1937, after graduating from school, he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania from where he graduated in 1941. Eckert, an outstanding electrical engineering student, was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School soon after his graduation. The Moore School was by this time heavily involved with research specifically directed towards the war effort. Eckert taught a defence course at the Moore School and one of his students on the course was John Mauchly . It might seem strange that Mauchly , who was twelve years older than Eckert, should be his student. Mauchly was already an established academic teaching physics but he became involved in defence training as part of his contribution to the war effort. Eckert quickly became interested in Mauchly's ideas for the development of computers and for a while the two discussed these ideas frequently. Soon, however, Eckert moved on to undertake other military work at the School. Ashurst [2] relates how Eckert was:- .... eventually involved with work on ultraviolet light and the development of the means to measure metal fatigue. Later, he went on to develop a method for measuring small magnetic fields to be used in detecting marine mines. He then went on to work on the electronics of radar and target locating and following equipment; these devices played a decisive part in weaponry, and their development and construction was considered to be of the very highest priority.

John William Mauchly Fascinating facts about John William Mauchly co-inventor of the ENIAC computer in 1946. AT A GLANCE: After graduating from Johns Hopkins University, then joined John P. Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania in the development of ENIAC, the first practical electronic digital computer. Their improved version, UNIVAC I, was acquired for use by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951. These early Eckert-Mauchly machines helped launch the computer revolution of the second half of the 20th century.

John Vincent Atanasoff Fascinating facts about John Vincent Atanasoff inventor of the electronic digital computer in 1939.. AT A GLANCE: John Vincent Atanasoff was a prominent American-Bulgarian computer engineer. His work was instrumental in the development of the digital computer. Birth: October 4, 1903 in Hamilton, New York Death: June 15, 1995 in Frederick, Maryland Invention: Electronic Digital Computer - Atanasoff Berry Computer Year: Patent: U.S. District Judge Earl R. Larson overturned the patent of the ENIAC held by Mauchly and Eckert ruling that the ENIAC derived many basic ideas from the Atanasoff Berry Computer. While a legal victory, Atanasoff's victory was incomplete as the ENIAC, rather than the ABC, is still widely regarded as the first computer. Keywords: atanasoff, john vincent atanasoff, inventor, biography, profile, history,Electronic Digital Computer, Atanasoff Berry Computer, abc computer, inventor of, history of, who invented, invention of, fascinating facts. In 1925, Atanasoff received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Florida. He held the distinction of receiving this grade with straight A's as an undergraduate. He continued his education at Iowa State College and in 1926 earned a master's degree in mathematics. He completed his formal education in 1930 by earning a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Wisconsin with his thesis, The Dielectric Constant of Helium.

Biography In any science field, there needs to be a person with the vision to define the future. John Vincent Atanasoff was a genius with such a vision. He developed the first electronic digital computer that has dramatically changed our lives. John Vincent Atanasoff gave birth to the field of electronic computing. In doing so, he also gave birth to a new era, an era of computers. Today, the computer is an essential part of every person as well as every business. We cannot imagine our lives without a computer being involved. Turning on the TV, making a telephone call, and typing up a report all involves the use of a computer. The invention of the computer meant that technology could improve at a faster rate and our lives became more convenient and more safe. Take for instance the use of computers in our cars. Anti-lock brakes, air bags, and fuel injections are all controlled by a computer. These advancements make the car safer and more reliable. Computers can also be found in banks, schools, airplanes, businesses, space shuttles, satellites, and numerous other things. In today's society, almost everything involves the use of a computer.
