Descripción
Descripción:
First edition; 8vo; diagrams throughout, contents fresh; original blue cloth, titles to spine in gilt, cloth a little rubbed with some tiny marks, an excellent copy; 451pp. First edition of 'the first treatise on how to build an electronic digital computer' (Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyberspace 584). An attractive copy. High-Speed Computing Devices was prepared under the supervision of Charles Brown Tompkins, vice president for research at Engineering Research Associates. Founded in 1946 by ex-Navy personnel, ERA manufactured both commercial computers and secret military equipment, and this book had its origins in a report to the Office of Naval Research. The text 'provided a "cookbook" describing the available ingredients and how they worked for both digital and analog computers. Because it explained the principles involved and gave examples, it was extremely useful'. Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyberspace 584. N° de ref. del artículo 122468

Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. First edition. The book is a strange condition - the page edges are singed and the end pages are a little sooty around the edges. Book does not have a smell. Text is unmarked; pages are otherwise bright. Previous owner's signature in pen inside the front cover. Binding is sturdy. Covers show a little wear at the corners and the spine is slightly darkened. No dust jacket. 451pp. Nº de ref. del artículo: 066657
