The Hollerith Machine and the 1890 Census
“Herman Hollerith invented the first automated tabulating system using punch cards. Initially designed to process the 1890 census, his system became the basis for punch card accounting machines for most of the 20th century. Hollerith became wealthy as his Tabulating Machine Company expanded beyond government customers to include railroads, insurance companies, and manufacturers. Hollerith sold his patent rights in 1911 to a holding company (C-T-R) that was renamed international Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. Throughout most of the 20th century, punch card machines grew very sophisticated and bridged the gap between the paper and electronic ages.
The 1890 Census had not only to count a record number of Americans, but also collect more facts about them. Hollerith machines provided the automation that allowed the census to be completed in less than three years, compared to seven years for the previous one. Information about each person was punched into a card using a “pantograph” punch. To read the information, the card was placed in a press where spring-loaded contacts poked through the holes, completing an electrical circuit and advancing one or more of 40 counters. The counters were recorded and reset to zero at the end of the day.”

It was really something to see this in person.
Exhibit at the Computer Museum when it was in Boston, MA
Taken around 1990 with a Vivitar PS:20 using Ektachrome 100 slide film. Scanned on a Canon MP990 using auto scan (1200 dpi). No edits other than flipping. The scan software is silly. It does not have you place the emulsion side toward the glass. It also crashes a lot in manual mode.

Y-MEP/EL, Cray Research Inc., 1988
Memory: 128M (64-bit) Semi
Speed: 133 MFLOPS/CPU
Cost: $1,000,000
“Cray Research, Inc., converted the Supertek S-2 supercomputer into the Cray Y-MP/EL upon purchasing Supertek. Cray improved Supertek’s design by using only four CPUs that shared a central memory and only required forced-air cooling. The Y-MP/EL (which stood for “Entry Level”) incorporated standard CMOS technology and, like most Cray machines, it ran UNICOS, a UNIX-like operating system.”

Ethernet became the global standard for interconnecting computers on local area networks (LANs) and led to a “re-architecting of internal computer-to-computer communications systems. PARC researcher Bob Metcalfe coined the “Ethernet” term.

The IBM System 360 was a line of compatible computers that allowed businesses to purchase the level of hardware needed for their respective operations.
The System 360 was developed as a response to requests from industry customers for a unified system of components. This was a departure from IBM's prior strategy of tailoring its systems to the differing needs of individual sectors of business. This was also representative of how industry was able to dictate the course of computer history.

Navy Tactical Data System, c. 1957
Navy Tactical Data System, Sperry Univac Defense Systems, United States.
Memory: 32K (30-bit) Core
Speed: 104,000 Add/s
Cost: $500,000
The Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) was an early transistorized military fire control computer. Computer pioneer Seymour Cray designed the machine in 1957 while at Remington Rand Univac, just prior to joining Control Data Corporation. This armored computer was extremely reliable in hazardous environments and could control battleship radar and weapons systems in real-time.
