The Bell TRADIC (TRAnsistor-DIgital-Computer), developed for the Air Force, is intended for use on airplanes, taking over much of the electronic thinking now done by vacuum-tube equipment. Besides being small and light, it generates almost no heat, an important consideraion in the hot, cramped innards of a...
Remington Rand's electronic calculator, Univac (see RADIO & TV). But the Detroit Times did better with Univac's cousin UDEC (Unitized Digital Electronic Computer). By carefully feeding UDEC the vote from key districts, the Times predicted that Democrat Patrick McNamara would win over Republican Senator Homer Ferguson, even...
One such project, completed last year, is an electronic digital computing machine. Constructed in the Institute's only laboratory, the machine took an unestablished conjecture of 19th century mathematician E. E. Kummer, performed the 20,000,000 necessary multiplications, and after six hours, came up with the answer. The machine...
European interest in "mechanical brains," according to Aiken, grew after the University announced the construction of the first large-scale digital calculating machine in 1944. The machines are capable of solving complex mathematical problems thousands of times faster than the human brain.
Over 600 physicists, mathematicians, economists, engineers, and industrialists from all parts of the country and abroad attended the four-day Symposium on Large-Scale Digital Calculating Machines at the Computation Laboratory and observed the first public demonstration of this device. The machine will be used by the United States Navy...
