Mauchly and the Development of the ENIAC Computer An Exhibition in the Department of Special Collections Van Pelt Library, University of Pennsylvania by Asaf Goldschmidt and Atsushi Akera Department of History and Sociology of Science University of Pennsylvania Introduction The year 1996 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the ENIAC computer, the first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. Built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, ENIAC is an acronym for "Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," but its birth lay in World War II as a classified military project known only as Project PX. The ENIAC is important historically, because it laid the foundations for the modern electronic computing industry. More than any other machine, the ENIAC demonstrated that high-speed digital computing was possible using the then-available vacuum tube technology. General View of the ENIAC, 1946.

Eckert assumed the task of designing a new computer system, more or less along the lines laid out in von Neumann's report.

As it turns out, the Census was attracted more to the speed rather than the economies afforded by the proposed new computer. Increasingly, manufacturers and government policy makers were seeking timely information about the national economy. The Census Bureau had expanded its operations to collect relevant data, but its processing capabilities were more limited, particularly when it involved some of the newer statistical sampling techniques.

He went to school in Washington DC where his father was employed as a physicist in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institute. In 1925 John was awarded a scholarship by the State of Maryland to allow him to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He began studying engineering at Johns Hopkins but his interests changed in the course of his studies towards pure science and his first degree was in physics. Mauchly continued studying physics after taking his first degree and he was awarded his doctorate in 1932. He then taught physics at a number of different colleges and spent some time at the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC undertaking research on analysing the weather. He soon realised that to make weather forecasts it was necessary to reduce large amounts of data very quickly, and he began to look for mechanical help in making such computations. By 1940 Mauchly was teaching physics at Ursinus College near Philadelphia. While there he became interested in developing electronic computers which combined his interests in physics and engineering. It may seem strange today that someone with an interest in engineering would be drawn towards building computers but at this time a computer was a huge mechanical construction. Also Mauchly's interests were in electrical engineering and he looked for ways to develop electrical circuits for computation.

In 1937, after graduating from school, he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania from where he graduated in 1941. Eckert, an outstanding electrical engineering student, was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School soon after his graduation. The Moore School was by this time heavily involved with research specifically directed towards the war effort. Eckert taught a defence course at the Moore School and one of his students on the course was John Mauchly . It might seem strange that Mauchly , who was twelve years older than Eckert, should be his student. Mauchly was already an established academic teaching physics but he became involved in defence training as part of his contribution to the war effort. Eckert quickly became interested in Mauchly's ideas for the development of computers and for a while the two discussed these ideas frequently. Soon, however, Eckert moved on to undertake other military work at the School. Ashurst [2] relates how Eckert was:- .... eventually involved with work on ultraviolet light and the development of the means to measure metal fatigue. Later, he went on to develop a method for measuring small magnetic fields to be used in detecting marine mines. He then went on to work on the electronics of radar and target locating and following equipment; these devices played a decisive part in weaponry, and their development and construction was considered to be of the very highest priority.

Mauchly, John William US physicist and engineer who, in 1946, constructed the first general-purpose computer, the ENIAC, in collaboration with John Eckert . Their company was bought by Remington Rand 1950, and they built the UNIVAC 1 computer 1951 for the US census. The work on ENIAC was carried out by the two during World War II, and was commissioned to automate the calculation of artillery firing tables for the US Army. In 1949 Mauchly and Eckert designed a small-scale binary computer, BINAC, which was faster and cheaper to use. Punched cards were replaced with magnetic tape, and the computer stored programs internally. Mauchly was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and studied at Johns Hopkins University, becoming professor of physics at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. In 1941 he moved to the Moore School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania, and became principal consultant on the ENIAC project. A dispute over patent policy with the Moore School caused Mauchly and Eckert to leave and set up a partnership 1948. Mauchly was a consultant to Remington Rand (later Sperry Rand) 1950-59 and again from 1973, after setting up his own consulting company 1959.

John Williams Mauchly (1907-1980) John Williams Mauchly había nacido en Cincinnati, Ohio (EE.UU.) el 30 de agosto de 1907. Sus magnificas aptitudes como estudiante le valieron una beca para la Escuela de Ingeniería Eléctrica de la Universidad Johns Hopkins. Al cabo de dos años en esta especialidad se dio cuenta que su verdadera vocación no era la ingeniería sino la física. En 1932, a los 35 años de edad, Mauchly se graduó de Doctor en Ciencias Físicas. Luego de doctorarse y pasar un año trabajando en Johns Hopkins, Mauchly pasó a ser el jefe del Departamento de Física en el Ursinus College de Collegeville, Filadelfia, donde se mantuvo desde 1933 hasta 1941. En este año se enroló en el curso de ocho semanas sobre la electrónica aplicada en el campo de la defensa que se dictó en la Universidad de Pennsylvania; allí conoció a Presper Eckert y luego continuó trabajando para dicha Universidad como instructor. A principios de la década de los 40, Mauchly escribió un memorandum titulado : "Utilización de Tubos al Vacío de Alta Velocidad par realizar Cálculos.". Este memorandum abrió las puertas para que Washington aprobara el presupuesto para emprender la construcción de la
