ENIAC, the second electronic calculator
ENIAC digital calculator. Technicians connecting the wiring of the ENIAC device built in Pennsylvania in 1943-46. ENIAC stood for the Electronic Numeric Integrator And Calculator. Although not a true computer, it is considered the second general purpose electronic calculator (after the British COLOSSUS). Designed by John Atanasoff and John Mauchly, ENIAC was originally intended for use in ballistics calculations. The wiring was used to create circuits between ENIACs 18, 000 valves, thus changing its program. A true computer uses an electronically- stored program system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in computing history - the technicians diligently connecting the intricate wiring of ENIAC, the second electronic calculator. Built between 1943 and 1946 in Pennsylvania, ENIAC (Electronic Numeric Integrator And Calculator) was an impressive feat of engineering for its time. Although not classified as a true computer, this groundbreaking machine holds immense historical value as the second general-purpose electronic calculator ever created, following Britain's COLOSSUS. Originally designed by John Atanasoff and John Mauchly, ENIAC was initially intended for ballistics calculations but would go on to revolutionize various fields. The mesmerizing tangle of wires seen here served a crucial purpose: creating circuits among ENIAC's staggering 18,000 valves. These connections allowed for program changes within the machine, effectively altering its functionality. It is important to note that unlike modern computers with electronically-stored programs systems, ENIAC relied on physical rewiring to modify its operations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Science Photo Library, we are transported back to an era when computing technology was still in its infancy. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come since then while honoring the pioneers who laid the foundation for our digital world today.
