What else can I help you with?
Who Had a job to send up the 1890 census and devised a punch card machine?
The answer is Herman Hollerith.
What is zero generation of computer?
Zeroth generation (1642-1946)It started with the invention of pascaline by Blaise Pascal in the year 1642! Pascaline was the first mechanical computing device.Then in 1822, Charles Babbage invented Difference Engine to compute tables for naval navigation.Babbage designed the first digital computer called Analytical Engine in 1834 but could not make it work. It had all the parts of a modern computer. The store (memory unit), mill (computational unit), and punched card as input and output.Then came the Tabulating machine by Herman Hollerith in 1880 for counting US census which was followed by invention of Mark I and II by Howard Eiken in 1944, which was the first US general purpose electro-mechanical computer.
The roll of computer in census exercise?
i need the reports
What bureau of groverment first used punch cards to collect data?
The Census Bureau
What was the first commercial electrionic computer?
The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer produced in the United States. It was designed principally by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the inventors of the ENIAC. Design work was begun by their company, Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, and was completed after the company had been acquired by Remington Rand. (In the years before successor models of the UNIVAC I appeared, the machine was simply known as "the UNIVAC".) The first UNIVAC was delivered to the United States Census Bureau on March 31, 1951, and was dedicated on June 14 that year.[1] The fifth machine (built for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission) was used by CBS to predict the result of the 1952 presidential election. With a sample of just 1% of the voting population it correctly predicted that Dwight Eisenhower would win. The UNIVAC I computers were built by Remington Rand's UNIVAC-division (successor of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, bought by Rand in 1950).
What was the purpose of Herman Hollerith inventing his tabulating machine?
Herman Hollerith invented the tabulating machine to support work in the US 1890 census, tabulating numbers for the count of population in the country.
When tabulating machine was built?
1890, by Herman Hollerith for US census.
For what purpose did Herman Hollerith invented his tabulating machine?
1890 US Census.
Who invented the tabulating Machine?
Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census.
Herman hollerith created a tabulating machine for the bureau of census he left the bureau of cenus and founded a company which today is?
Herman Hollerith founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, or CTR. In 1924 CTR became the International Business Machines Corporation.
How did Herman Hollerith finance its development?
Herman Hollerith financed the development of his electromechanical tabulating machine through a combination of personal savings, support from investors, and contracts with the U.S. Census Bureau. After initially struggling to gain traction, he secured a significant contract for the 1890 census, which provided the necessary funding and validation for his invention. This success led to the establishment of the Tabulating Machine Company, which later became part of IBM.
What was the significant contribution of holerith to the development of computers?
He built a "counting" machine for the US census using punched cards and electric contacts. In 1896 he started the Tabulating Machine Company. In 1911, his & 3 other companies formed the Computing Tabulating Recording Company, In 1924 it was renamed International Business Machines Corp (IBM).
What was the hollerith tabulating machine used for?
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.
What is Herman Hollerith most noted for developing?
Semiautomated punchcard based Census tabulating counter and sorting machines, for 1890 US census.
Founded in 1896 what was IBM formerly called?
IBM was not actually founded in 1896. One of the three companies merged to create CTR (IBM's former name) was founded in 1896.That company was the Tabulating Machine Company. It was created by Herman Hollerith after his invention helped the U.S. Census Bureau in 1890 to tabulate the census results in one year versus the 8 years it took in 1880.Together with the International Time Recording company and Computing Scale Corporation, the Tabulating Machine company merged to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR for short). It held this name until 1924 when the acting president, Thomas Watson Sr., changed the name to IBM (International Business Machines).Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR)
The punched cards in the tabulating machine is used for what?
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.
Why did Herman hollerith invented the tabulating machine?
To count data in the 1890 census, which could not have been completed on time to meet the requirements of the constitution using traditional hand methods. The tabulator also controlled a sorter so that cards could be separated for appropriate further processing later on other tabulators.
