Saya khawatir jika Babbage hidup 75 tahun kemudian, saya akan kehilangan pekerjaanHoward Aiken
CAMPBELL: 1937 (, ASCC. β . ). It described functionally a machine which had a rather complete repertoire of characteristics, but said almost nothing about how it might be constructed or what components would be used. What circuitry techniques or what other mechanical techniques as far as that's concerned. It did, however, talk about tape programming I think./ 1937 , , . . , , ./ASPRAY: What did that mean? / ?/CAMPBELL: Well, a sequence control device from instructions somehow encoded in the punch paper (in a tape, not necessarily punched paper). But other than that there was very little dealing with specific components or specific design techniques. So having developed this concept Aiken tried to find a way of implementing it. He didn't have the resources himself. He was an instructor at Harvard at that point finishing up his doctorate degree. He first went to a number of business machine companies. It was at Monroe that he talked to George Chase, chief engineer. Chase was quite interested in the concept and would like to have tried implementing it using necessarily mechanical techniques, but the top management at Monroe was not interested./ , - . , , . , . . , . , . , , - ./ASPRAY: They just didn't see a market for it, or what? / , ?/CAMPBELL: Either they didn't want to spend the money for it or they didn't see a market for it either. He went to other business machine companies. I don't know how many. But he was unable to get any interest. Then through Professor Theodore Brown at the Business School and Harlow Shapley in the Astronomy Department he secured a introduction to Bryce β James Bryce of IBM, who was a senior executive in New York with a long history of engineering inventions. He became interested in Aiken's ideas; and through Bryce it was arranged for Aiken to talk to Watson. <β¦> In any case, Watson became quite interested in Aiken's idea./ , . . , [ ]. .
