Question

Tabulating machine (1887) American inventor Herman
Hollerith invented the tabulating machine (Fig. 1.8), which
used punched cards (Fig. 1.9) for storing and processing
information. In 1890, Hollerith's machine was used to
process data for the US census. In 1896, Hollerith founded
the Tabulating Machine
Company, which, after a
series of mergers, eventually
became International
Business Machines (IBM) in
1924.

Answer 1

Answer:

The tabulating machine was an electromechanical machine designed to assist in summarizing information stored on punched cards. Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census. Later models were widely used for business applications such as accounting and inventory control. It spawned a class of machines, known as unit record equipment, and the data processing industry.

The term "Super Computing" was used by the New York World newspaper in 1931 to refer to a large custom-built tabulator that IBM made for Columbia University
