Synopsis
ABOUT THE AUTHOR -- R.K. Richards (1921-2010) was a pioneer in the history of computing. An electrical engineer and physicist, he was granted 28 patents for his designs of vacuum-tube-based business computers for IBM in the '50's. A graduate of Iowa State University, he was the central witness in the patent dispute as to whether ENIAC or the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was the first digital electronic device. (Like ABC's inventor Atanasoff, Richards was associated with Iowa State.) ABOUT THIS BOOK -- This book discusses diode switching circuits, circuit logic systems, magnetic core systems, non-magnetic storage, circuits and tubes for decimal counting, and analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. BOOK DETAILS -- hardback, cloth over boards, 511 pp. Bibliography at end of each chapter. Index.
