About this Item

John V. Atanasoff and A.E. Brandt. Application of punched Card Equipment to the Analysis of Complex Spectra. From: Journalof the American Optical Society, vol 26, February 1936, pp83-88. Now, what exactly is this? I think that this is a negative photographic print (reduced) of the journal article. It is no doubt a stapled collection of original photographic sheets made by a dedicated ibrary or person operating to make this info distributable to some extent in wht may have been the absence of offprints or the journal itself. I don't know, but it is very cool. Also, I'm not sure of what the actual print date ofthis item is--I doubt that it is 1936, but I'm really not sure when this item would've been produced. I assume it is a one-off. [++] Atanasoff was a great computer pioneer who just three years later would develop (with Clifford Berry, from 1939-1942) what may have been the first automatic electronic digital non-programable computer (The A-B-C Computer), more rightly so as the first electronic arithmetic logic unit.
