Atanasoff's Computer was nearly completed in 1942 before Atanasoff and his assistant were drafted. This Atanasoff was the first to think of using base 2 (or binary) in his mechanical computation and incorporated that into his computer. However, a friend of Atanasoff's is believed to have visited while the computer was still in production and later used the knowledge gained from that visit while helping to build ENIAC a few years later.
