Summarizing collected data into table
The Hollerith tabulating machine was used for processing and analyzing data, particularly for the 1890 U.S. Census. Developed by Herman Hollerith, it employed punched cards to record information, enabling faster data tabulation compared to manual methods. This innovation laid the groundwork for modern data processing and was instrumental in the establishment of the data processing industry.
Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census.
Punched cards in tabulating machines were used to store and process data by encoding information through holes punched in cards. Each card represented a specific set of data, such as census information or accounting figures, allowing the machine to read and manipulate the data efficiently. This technology played a crucial role in early data processing and analysis before the advent of modern computing.
Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation ended in 1924.
Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation was created in 1911.
British Tabulating Machine Company was created in 1902.
Herman Hollerith invented the tabulating machine to support work in the US 1890 census, tabulating numbers for the count of population in the country.
The mother of Hollerith's machines was the Tabulating Machine Company, which was later renamed to the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) and eventually became IBM. These machines were used for data processing and information storage, revolutionizing the way businesses and governments handled large amounts of information.
IBM was originally called CTR (Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation) before changing to IBM in 1924. The original name comes from the 3 previous companies that were merged together in 1911 to form CTR. These companies were the International Time Recording company, the Tabulating Machine company, and the Computing Scale Corporation.
