Originally published in 1950, this book was based on a short series
of lectures given by the author at the University of Illinois in
1948. Aimed at the non-specialist, the chief aim of the text was to
provide a general introduction to contemporary developments in the
field of calculating instruments and machines. But there is some
treatment of the historical side of the subject, with appreciation
shown for the vision and foresight of key pioneers Charles Babbage
and Lord Kelvin. This is a concise and informative volume that will
be of value to anyone with an interest in the development and
history of computation.
