What else can I help you with?
Who Had a job to send up the 1890 census and devised a punch card machine?
The answer is Herman Hollerith.
What is zero generation of computer?
Zeroth generation (1642-1946)It started with the invention of pascaline by Blaise Pascal in the year 1642! Pascaline was the first mechanical computing device.Then in 1822, Charles Babbage invented Difference Engine to compute tables for naval navigation.Babbage designed the first digital computer called Analytical Engine in 1834 but could not make it work. It had all the parts of a modern computer. The store (memory unit), mill (computational unit), and punched card as input and output.Then came the Tabulating machine by Herman Hollerith in 1880 for counting US census which was followed by invention of Mark I and II by Howard Eiken in 1944, which was the first US general purpose electro-mechanical computer.
The roll of computer in census exercise?
i need the reports
What bureau of groverment first used punch cards to collect data?
The Census Bureau
When was the last census taken for the US?
6 Billion. And this is just a statement, in 2011, the population may rise to 7 Billion.Well, I think that's right.
What was the purpose of Herman Hollerith inventing his tabulating machine?
Herman Hollerith invented the tabulating machine to support work in the US 1890 census, tabulating numbers for the count of population in the country.
When tabulating machine was built?
1890, by Herman Hollerith for US census.
For what purpose did Herman Hollerith invented his tabulating machine?
1890 US Census.
Who invented the tabulating Machine?
Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census.
Herman hollerith created a tabulating machine for the bureau of census he left the bureau of cenus and founded a company which today is?
Herman Hollerith founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, or CTR. In 1924 CTR became the International Business Machines Corporation.
What was the significant contribution of holerith to the development of computers?
He built a "counting" machine for the US census using punched cards and electric contacts. In 1896 he started the Tabulating Machine Company. In 1911, his & 3 other companies formed the Computing Tabulating Recording Company, In 1924 it was renamed International Business Machines Corp (IBM).
What is Herman Hollerith most noted for developing?
Semiautomated punchcard based Census tabulating counter and sorting machines, for 1890 US census.
Founded in 1896 what was IBM formerly called?
IBM was not actually founded in 1896. One of the three companies merged to create CTR (IBM's former name) was founded in 1896.That company was the Tabulating Machine Company. It was created by Herman Hollerith after his invention helped the U.S. Census Bureau in 1890 to tabulate the census results in one year versus the 8 years it took in 1880.Together with the International Time Recording company and Computing Scale Corporation, the Tabulating Machine company merged to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR for short). It held this name until 1924 when the acting president, Thomas Watson Sr., changed the name to IBM (International Business Machines).Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR)
Why did Herman hollerith invented the tabulating machine?
To count data in the 1890 census, which could not have been completed on time to meet the requirements of the constitution using traditional hand methods. The tabulator also controlled a sorter so that cards could be separated for appropriate further processing later on other tabulators.
The Census is when we count all the people in the country. We grew so much that by 1880 it took 7 years to count the population. This led to the invention of the?
The invention that resulted from the long and arduous process of conducting the 1880 census in the United States was the punch card tabulating machine. Herman Hollerith, an American inventor and statistician, developed the machine, which used punched cards to record and tabulate data. The punched cards allowed data to be recorded and sorted automatically, making the process of counting and analyzing data much faster and more efficient. Hollerith's invention became the basis for the modern computing industry, and he founded the Tabulating Machine Company, which later became IBM.
What was the name of Herman Holleriths invention?
The US 1880 census took over 7 years to complete. With the expanding population and new additional data collection requirements, the US 1890 census was expected to take longer than 10 years which would fail to meet the requirements of the constitution for apportioning the membership of Congress to the states. It was decided to have a competition for new sysstems for doing the census. Herman Hollerith is the US Census Bureau worker that won the competition for a new system of performing a census. His system based on punchcards and electromechanical machines was then used in the US 1890 census. The US 1890 census was completed in a little over a year. Additional data was extracted and tabulated in the next couple years. He founded the Tabulating Machine Company, which was later to become IBM.
Who invented the punch card machine?
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!
