Herman Hollerith's Tabulating Machines
Read about the man who invented machine that made it easier to tabulate Census reports.
http://www.maxmon.com/1890ad.htm

Extractions: Herman Hollerith's Tabulating Machines It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and this was certainly true in the case of the American census. Following the population trends established by previous surveys, it was estimated that the census of 1890 would be required to handle data from more than 62 million Americans. In addition to being prohibitively expensive, the existing system of making tally marks in small squares on rolls of paper and then adding the marks together by hand was extremely time consuming. In fact it was determined that, if the system remained unchanged, there was no chance of collating the data from the 1890 census into any useful form until well after the 1900 census had taken place, by which time the 1890 data would be of little value. a The solution to this problem was developed during the 1880s by an American inventor called Herman Hollerith, whose idea it was to use Jacquard's punched cards to represent the census data, and to then read and collate this data using an automatic machine. a While he was a lecturer at MIT, Hollerith developed a simple prototype which employed cards he punched using a tram conductor's ticket punch, where each card was intended to contain the data associated with a particular individual.

Extractions: Hollerith, Herman [h O u rith] Pronunciation Key Hollerith, Herman , American inventor, b. Buffalo, N.Y. After graduating from Columbia Univ. (B.S., 1879), he worked on the U.S. Census of 1880. Intrigued by the problem of tabulating vast amounts of data, he developed over the next several years a card that could be represent data through a series of punched holes and a number of machines for punching and tabulating the cards. In 1896 Hollerith founded the Tabulating Machine Company which, through mergers and acquisitions, grew into the International Business Machines Company. See G.

Search Inventors Herman Hollerith - Punch Cards Modern data processing began with the inventions of American engineer, Herman Hollerith. In 1881, Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data more efficiently than by traditional hand methods. The U.S. Census Bureau had taken eight years to complete the 1880 census, and it was feared that the 1890 census would take even longer. Herman Hollerith invented and used a punched card device to help analyze the 1890 US census data. Herman Hollerith's great breakthrough was his use of electricity to read, count, and sort punched cards whose holes represented data gathered by the census-takers. His machines were used for the 1890 census and accomplished in one year what would have taken nearly ten years of hand tabulating. In 1896, Herman Hollerith founded the Tabulating Machine Company to sell his invention, the Company became part of IBM in 1924.

Extractions: Photo: IBM. After receiving his Engineer of Mines (EM) degree at age 19, Hollerith worked on the 1880 US census, a laborious and error-prone operation that cried out for mechanization. After some initial trials with paper tape , he settled on punched cards (pioneered in the Jacquard loom ) to record information, and designed special equipment to tabulate the results. His designs won the competition for the 1890 US census, chosen for their ability to count combined facts. These machines reduced a ten-year job to three months (different sources give different numbers, ranging from six weeks to three years) , saved the 1890 taxpayers five million dollars, and earned him an 1890 Columbia PhD*. This was the first wholly successful information processing system to replace pen and paper. Hollerith's machines were also used for censuses in Russia, Austria, Canada, France, Norway, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, and again in the US census of 1900. In 1911 Hollerith's company merged with two others to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), which changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. Austrian's Hollerith biography [ ] implies that Hollerith's doctorate was honorary: "It now seemed only fitting that the school to which he owed so much, and to which he was a credit, should award him an honorary degree. And indeed, Columbia's records show that at the school's June [1890] commencement he did, in fact, become Dr. Hollerith." (p.56)

Hollerith's tabulator was widely publicized after being successfully used in the 1890 census. The firm he established, the Tabulating Machine Company, was later one of the founding companies of IBM Hollerith was born in Buffalo, New York, and attended the Columbia University School of Mines. From 1884 to 1896 he worked for the US Patent Office. Working on the 1880 US census, he saw the need for an automated recording process for data, and had the idea of punching holes in cards or rolls of paper. By 1889 he had developed machines for recording, counting, and collating census data. The system was used 1891 for censuses in several countries, and was soon adapted to the needs of government departments and businesses that handled large quantities of data.
