The abacus (unknown), slide rule (The Reverend William Oughtred and others ), Pascaline (Pascal), the Stepped Reckoner (German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz), the analytical engine (English engineer Babbage) and the tabulating machine (Herman Hollerith). Finally tabulators such as the 1949 IBM 407 and the 1952 Remington Rand 409 were made and Tabulating machines continued to be used well after the introduction of commercial electronic computers in the 1950s.
Herman Hollerith invented the tabulating machine to support work in the US 1890 census, tabulating numbers for the count of population in the country.

Herman Hollerith is the founder of The Tabulating Machine Company in 1896 which later became the International Business Machine in 1924, after a few mergers.
Herman Hollerith founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, or CTR. In 1924 CTR became the International Business Machines Corporation.
It was invented in 1929.
That company eventually became IBM.
The tabulating machine was an electromechanical machine designed to assist in summarizing information and, later, accounting and was developed by Herman Hollerith, the founder of IBM. The modern version is a calculator.
Herman Hollerith was likely the person you're looking for. He invented and was awarded patents for a series of machines that used punched holes for a method of recording data. The true ancestor of our punch cards we think of today such as the IBM type 80. Hope this helps!
