153-[6] pp., 2 pl. Paris, Les Éditions de minuit, 1952, in-8, 153-[6] pp, 2 pl, Broché, couverture imprimée en noir et rouge de l'éditeur, Édition originale de cet ouvrage du pionnier de l'informatique française, Pierre Louis Couffignal (1902-1966), publié dans la collection L'homme et la machine (n° 3). Schémas dans le texte te à pleine page. Deux planches de reproductions photographiques, représentant notamment le prototype de la machine à calculer de l'Institut Pascal. L'auteur était considéré, en France, comme le meilleur expert en calcul numérique. À partir de 1946, il fut chargé par l'Institut Blaise Pascal de mettre au point le premier ordinateur français : son projet se fondait sur une évaluation erronée, sa machine devant reposer sur le principe de la classification et de l'organisation des procédures de calcul. Le développement des ordinateurs ne suivra pas cette voie, mais celle du programme mémorisé, à la base de la conception des ordinateurs américains et britanniques. Le temps et l'énergie investis dans cette impasse technologique ont retardé l'entrée de la France dans l'ère des ordinateurs électroniques; le CNRS ne sera pas doté d'un ordinateur à programme enregistré avant 1955 (Hook & Norman, Origins of cyberspace, 281). Ex-libris manuscrit sur le faux-titre. Papier uniformément jauni. Couverture un peu défraîchie, avec un petit manque en pied du dos. Sinon, bon exemplaire.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
