EDITORS COMMENTS
Tabulating machines in the punch room of a Sheffield Factory office, South Yorkshire, 1963. This print captures a scene from the offices of the Edgar Allen Steel Company, where rows of tabulating machines diligently punch out numerical data onto cards. These punched cards are then fed through to the revolutionary Hollerith Machine, developed by Dr. Herman Hollerith himself. Born in 1860 to German parents, Dr. Herman Hollerith revolutionized the field of statistics with his mechanical tabulator based on punched cards. His invention allowed for rapid tabulation of data from millions of pieces of information and laid the foundation for what would eventually become IBM. The image showcases an era when technology was rapidly advancing, as electric lighting illuminates this bustling workspace filled with dedicated workers - both men and women alike. The fluorescent tubes cast a soft glow over their desks as they meticulously carry out their tasks. This photograph is not just a snapshot into history but also serves as a metaphor for progress and innovation within industry and computing during this time period. It reminds us how far we have come since these early days of machinery and highlights the contributions made by individuals like Dr. Herman Hollerith who shaped our modern world.
