  • Abstract
    The eniac is the only electronic large-scale general-purpose digital computing device now in operation. Its speed of operation compares favorably with other electric and mechanical computers. Developed under wartime pressure, it has been of value not only in producing results but in pointing the way toward improvements for future designs.
