Automatic Digital Computers, Used (28 results)

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. 53 pages, illustrated. "This brief account of digital computers has been written mainly for engineers and others who are faced with tedious calculations, so that they can judge the possibility of using these machines in their own numerical work. It describes in general terms what digital computers can do and how they care made to do it, and also gives an account of some of the calculations for which they have so far been used. The emphasis is on the application of machines to routine computing work rather than to research."

Fine. Scarce. From the foreword: "By 1960, with three IBM 704s and the MANIAC II (Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator and Computer) running night and day, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory had earned the reputation as one of the most advanced computer centers in the nation. The 704s have since been replaced, and the Laboratory now operates two IBM 7094s, Stretch, and the MANIAC II to become one of the most advanced computer centers in the world. Page 16 explains some of the purposes for which computers are used at Los Alamos." (K023).

Stiff Boards. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition. Stiff Boards. Two early and important surveys of automatic digital computers running in the US, at a time when one could list, with relative ease, every significant piece of hardware running. The first, issued in 1952 was, 'A Symposium on Commercially Available General-Purpose Electronic Digital Computers of Moderate Price', edited by Mina Ress. She writes: "Until recently, all commercially available general-purpose digital computers were large and cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Within the past year, however, a number of manufacturers have smaller, more compact (usually slower) automatic computers for sale at less than one hundred thousand dollars." [Introduction] Hart notes that the first survey of large scale computers was undertaken between 1947-48 and updated in 1950. However, "a large number of machines that were then only in the design stage are now in successful operation." [Preface] Includes: ? A Survey of Automatic Digital Computers. Washington, DC, 1953. The theory, design principles and fields of usefulness of the various forms of automatic controllers commonly used in the process industry, are discussed. Some of the computer techniques in the field of instrumentation and control engineering are described. [OOC 944] ? [Rees, Mina] Office of Naval Research, A Symposium on Commercially Available General-Purpose Electronic Digital Computers of Moderate Price. [OOC 853]. Exlibris (UC Engineering Library) with discrete markings reflecting such, rebound in stiff library boards, else tight, bright, and unmarred.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. [Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel (MCAP).] Office of Naval Research (ONR)]. "Interim Report of the Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel on Automatic Digital Computers. [1954] Carbon copy on onion-skin paper. Stapled with a single staple. The first sheet really wants to rid itself of that staple. No individual authors or members of the MCAP are named. 11"x 8.5", 11 numbered sheets, 2 additional leaves with tables 1 and 2. There are a few short tears and chips, plus a dog-ear here and there, otherwise this document is in near-Fine condition. Historically members of the panel of MCAP have been absolutely stellar, including John Curtiss (NBS), Douglas Hartree, George Stibitz, Richard Hamming, George W. Patterson (ONR), Herman Goldstine, John von Neumann, and others. [++] Of note here is that there is mention of Tables 3, 4 and 5 in the text but the document only has tables 1 and 2. There is no evidence that the 3 leaves of additional tables were part of this document. [++] There are NO mentions of any report by this title on Google and nothing at all in WorldCat, which is a little surprising. [++] Note 1. I qualified "internal" with a question mark as this document obviously doesn't have the physical capacity to withstand general circulation, being a carbon copy on a filmy/onion-skin-like paper. That said, I have no authority to say that it absolutely wasn't. I'm 99% certain though that this was not meant for general circulation. Note 2. Best guess here for a date comes from bits of chronology in the document, the chief clue to the upper-end of the date of production being a mention of a machine due to be delivered in 1954. The date I reckon is 1953 or 1954, guessing very safely at 1954.
