    Extractions: Mark I Related Subjects Achievement Invented the Mark I Biography Howard Hathaway Aiken was born March 8, 1900 in Hoboken, New Jersey. However he grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana where he attended the Arsenal Technical High School. After high school he studied at the University of Wisconsin where he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. During college Aiken worked for the Madison Gas Company; after graduation he was promoted to chief engineer there. In 1935 Aiken decided to return to school. In 1939 he received a Ph.D. from Harvard University. It was while working on his doctoral thesis in physics that Aiken began to think about constructing a machine to help with the more tedious of calculations. Aiken began to talk about his idea and to do some research into what could be done. With some help from colleagues at the university, Aiken succeeded in convincing IBM to fund his project. The idea was to build an electromachanic machine that could perform mathematical operations quickly and efficiently and allow a person to spend more time thinking instead of laboring over tedious calculations. IBM was to build the machine with Aiken acting as head of the construction team and donate it to Harvard with the requirement that IBM would get the credit for building it. The constructing team was to use machine components that IBM already had in existence.

Aiken started his studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, but in 1939 he got his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard. Babbage As early as 1936, he still was a student and worked as an instructor, Aiken started making plans for a calculating device that had to be able to give answers to problems he ran into when developing a system of differential equations. He needed those when working on space charge conduction in vacuum tubes. So, he proposed the construction of a large calculating device. As a result of discussions, it appeared that "something similar" had been tucked away in the Science Attic. This "something similar" proved to be a remnant of Babbage’s unfinished Differential Engine, just over a 100 years old at the time. Charles Babbage This discovery of Babbage’s brass wheels proved to be a turning point in the development of Aiken. Later, he got several books by Babbage, given to him by Babbage’s grandson. There, Aiken found what he had been thinking himself all the time. Now he was certain that the construction he had in mind was the right one. Aiken had set out several conditions: the machine had to be able to handle both positive and negative numbers, it had to calculate logarithms, sines, cosines and various other scientific functions.

He spent most of his childhood in Indianapolis, Indiana and obtained a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While he studied, he also worked for the Madison Gas Company. After he graduated, the company promoted him to chief engineer. In 1935, Aiken returned to school and received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1939. He became very interested in computers while working on his doctoral thesis in physics. He had ideas for a machine that could help with difficult calculations. He convinced IBM to fund a project to develop such a machine. A constructing team at Harvard was to use machine components that IBM already had in existence. Meanwhile, in 1942, the Navy had asked Aiken for a system for their Naval Proving Ground. That's when he began work on the Harvard Mark II. This system, which employed an electrical memory, was finished in 1947. One important advance in the second system was the concept of 'constants' - fixed values which are referenced by the program the machine is running. This was a new concept in programming at the time, but it is taken for granted in today's programming languages.

He was told by the chairman, Frederick Saunders, that a lab technician, Carmelo Lanza, had told him about a similar contraption already stored up in the Science Center attic. Intrigued, Aiken had Lanza lead him to the machine, which turned out to be a set of brass wheels from English mathematician and philosopher Charles Babbage's unfinished "analytical engine" from nearly 100 years earlier. Aiken immediately recognized that he and Babbage had the same mechanism in mind. Fortunately for Aiken, where lack of money and poor materials had left Babbage's dream incomplete, he would have much more success. Later, those brass wheels, along with a set of books that had been given to him by the grandson of Babbage, would occupy a prominent spot in Aiken's office. In an interview with I. Bernard Cohen '37, PhD '47, Victor S. Thomas Professor of the History of Science Emeritus, Aiken pointed to Babbage's books and said, "There's my education in computers, right there; this is the whole thing, everything I took out of a book."

    Extractions: Died:14 March 1973 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA In 1937, electrical engineer and physicist, Howard H. Aiken of Harvard University conceived the idea of wiring together the components of a unit record system and controlling them by a roll of paper punched tape. While he completed his doctorate at Harvard, Aiken continued the computer's development with the assistance of IBM and its engineers until 1944. That year he unveiled the Harvard Mark I. It was not an electronic computer, but an elctro-mechanical computer in which mechanical registers were used to store numbers. Grace Hopper worked with Aiken from 1944 on the Mark I computer which was used by the US navy for gunnery and ballistics calculations. Aiken completed the Mark II, a completely electronic computer, in 1947. He published articles on electronics and switching theory. References:

He wanted to created an automatic calculating machine which could handle most mathematical functions. He began research on large-scale calculating machine with IBM in 1939. At Harvard University he was: Faculty instructor 1939-41; Associate Professor 1941-46; Professor 1946. He was Director of Computation Laboratory from 1947-1961. He was a Professor of Information Technology at Miami University 1961-1973. He completed the Mark I in 1944. The Mark I was different from Bush's differential analyzer, because it could solve almost all mathematical problems. (Bush's machine only solved differential equations.) Mark I was important, since it was available to people outside of the government. Mark I was electromechanical rather than electronic. At the Computation Laboratory, Aiken completed new work/findings in mathematical linguistics, the automatic translation of languages, switching theory, and the use of magnetic cores and drums as computer components.

An der Finanzierung des Projektes beteiligte sich auch die Firma IBM. Die "Mark I" war - im Gegensatz zur Z3 - ein Riese. Die Frontfläche des Mark I war etwa 15 Meter lang und 2,5 Meter hoch. Sie bestand aus rund 70.000 Einzelteilen. 3000 Kugellager verbargen sich hinter der riesigen Frontseite. 80 km Leitungsdraht wurden benötigt, um die elektrischen Teile miteinander zu verbinden. Wenn sie ein- oder ausgeschaltet wurde, hörte es sich an, als ginge ein Hagelschauer nieder. Aiken verwendete vorwiegend Standardbauteile, wie z. Bsp. Relais, Zahnräder, elektrische Kupplungen usw. Die Mark I gilt als der letzte Schritt auf dem Weg zum "echten" - digitalen - Computer.

    Extractions: SEARCH THE GAZETTE By Cassie Ferguson Gazette Staff The desire for answers to the questions raised by his doctoral thesis in physics led Howard Aiken to the conclusion that he would have to build a calculating machine unlike anything ever seen before at Harvard a computer. Aiken needed numbers for his theory of space-charge conduction in vacuum tubes, but the problems were beyond the capability of desktop calculators of the day. Frustrated by his dilemma, in 1937 he wrote a proposal for a giant calculating machine, one that could represent negative and positive numbers, do standard arithmetic, and carry out more than one operation in a sequence. "The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself," he wrote, although he would later joke that the computer was "only a lazy man's idea." A year earlier, in 1936, Aiken had proposed his idea to the Physics Department, which did not see the same need for a computing machine and was reluctant to give up space for one in its building. He was told by the chairman, Frederick Saunders, that a lab technician, Carmelo Lanza, had told him about a similar contraption already stored up in the Science Center attic.
