Extractions: Version for printing J Presper Eckert Jr. attended the William Penn Carter School in Germanstown. 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.

Extractions: J. Presper Eckert was co-inventor of ENIAC, introduced to the public at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. ENIAC was considered a computer marvel, containing over 17,000 vacuum tubes and weighing over 30 tons. Although ENIAC was not the first computer, it was the first electronic device designed to carry out general-purpose computation. It could add, subtract, multiply, divide, and extract square roots, as well as predict weather, calculate atomic energy, study cosmic rays and examine wind tunnel design. ENIAC, housed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, was 1,000 times faster than previous electromechanical calculators.

Extractions: A University of Pennsylvania graduate in electronic engineering, he and John W. Mauchly developed the first practical electronic digital computer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) (194246); it weighed several tons and used thousands of valves and resistors. In 1951 an improved version of their computer, the UNIVAC I, became one of the first commercially sold computers. Eckert had more than 85 patents for his various electronic inventions.

Extractions: Fascinating facts about the invention of the ENIAC Computer by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert in ENIAC COMPUTER In 1936 British mathematician Alan Turing proposed the idea of a machine that could process equations without human direction. The machine (now known as a Turing machine) resembled an automatic typewriter that used symbols for math and logic instead of letters. Turing intended the device to be used as a "universal machine" that could be programmed to duplicate the function of any other existing machine. Turing's machine was the theoretical precursor to the modern digital computer. In the 1930s American mathematician Howard Aiken developed the Mark I calculating machine, which was built by IBM. This electronic calculating machine used relays and electromagnetic components to replace mechanical components. In later machines, Aiken used vacuum tubes and solid state transistors (tiny electrical switches) to manipulate the binary numbers. Aiken also introduced computers to universities by establishing the first computer science program at Harvard University. Aiken never trusted the concept of storing a program within the computer. Instead his computer had to read instructions from punched cards. John Mauchly, an American physicist, and J. Presper Eckert, an American engineer, proposed an electronic digital computer, called the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), which was built at the Moore School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The computer was based on some concepts developed by John Atanasoff, a physics teacher at Iowa State College. ENIAC was completed in 1945 and is regarded as the first successful, general digital computer.

Presper Eckert was taken on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey sometime in August of 1920. It looks like Pres, as his family called him was having a great time with his little sand shovel and bucket. Twenty five and a half years later, on February 14, 1946 the world would change forever when he and his partner, John Mauchly unveiled ENIAC at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and demonstrated for the first time the power and the promise of the electronic computer. It's one of the many amazing photos of Pres as a child I came across while organizing and documenting the items in this extraordinary collection. This site was originally created to present some of the more interesting items that were sold at auction. Artifacts and ephemera related to Dr. J. Presper Eckert, ENIAC and the early years of the computer industry were auctioned by Skinner, Inc.
