"The electromechanical Harvard Mark I was the first programmable calculating machine to actually produce mathematical tables, fulfilling the dream of Charles Babbage originally set out in print in 1822." (OOC, #411) "The manual for the Harvard Mark II, a relay-based calculator built for the navy during the last year of World War II. It was installed at the Naval Proving Ground in Dahlgren, Virginia, in 1948, where it was used mainly for the development of ballistics tables. The Mark II's design did not depart radically from that of its predecessor in that it employed electromechanical equipment and was programmed via paper tapes, 'but otherwise it was very different. Where the Mark I used rotary mechanical systems (with magnetic clutches) for storing numbers, the Mark II used relays. The way of programming it was very different (i.e. the instruction set was different). The fact that it was essentially two machines which could be combined for large jobs or have each half running independent jobs was quite different.' (MRW Other innovations included a floating decimal point and a new type of relay. It was considerably faster than the Mark I . The Manual for the Harvard Mark II calculator was written primarily by Grace Hopper, assisted by Constance K. Rawson, Peter O. Cioffi and Richard D. Woltman. It was completed by Charles H. Richards and K. B. Mitchell" (OOC) Volume XXIV of the Annals of the Computation Laboratory of Harvard University. All volumes in the series were heavily used, and finding copies in dust jacket is getting difficult. Literature: Hook and Norman, Origins of Cyberspace, #416, 411 (referring to Mark I).

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Proceedings of the IRE, Vol 41, October 1953, No. 10, the entire issue offered. Pictorial wrappers. The famous 1953 "IRE Computer Issue" in the original wrappers containing ten (!!!) Origins of Cyberspace articles and a total of forty-one articles on the state of the art computing. Many authors were influential, on the cutting edge of computing, and are found throughout the historical literature tracking technical and business innovations throughout their careers. A few of the essential papers include: Claude Shannon, "Computers and Automata" (Origins of Cyberspace #885) --- contains a brief review of developments in the field of automata and non-numerical computation Claude Shannon and Moore, "Machine aid for switching circuit design" (Origins of Cyberspace #886) --- describes the first "verification" machine, built at Bell Labs and called the" relay circuit analyzer." Grace Hopper and John Mauchly, "Influence of programming technique on the design of computers" (Origins of Cyberspace #664) --- contains a discussion of how advances in programming techniques could influence the design of future computers. This article references the UNIVAC I. Huskey, Ambrose, and Yowell, "The SWAC design features and operating experience" (Origins of Cyberspace #672) --- contains a general description of the functional characteristics of the SWAC computer, including references to electrostatic and magnetic drum memories. Buchholz, "The system design of the IBM Type 701 computer" (Origins of Cyberspace #508) --- describes the overall system design of IBM's first electronic digital computer And many more period articles. 8¼" - 11".
