On June 30, 1945, before ENIAC was made, mathematician John von Neumann distributed the paper entitled First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.

ENIAC administrator and security officer Herman Goldstine distributed copies of this First Draft to a number of government and educational institutions, spurring widespread interest in the construction of a new generation of electronic computing machines, including EDSAC at Cambridge England and SEAC at the U. S. Bureau of Standards.

Eckert, a co-inventor of ENIAC, discusses its development at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering ; describes difficulties in securing patent rights for ENIAC and the problems posed by the circulation of John von Neumann's 1945 First Draft of the Report on EDVAC, which placed the ENIAC inventions in the public domain.

Eckert and Mauchly and the other ENIAC designers were joined by John von Neumann in a consulting role ; von Neumann summarized and discussed logical design developments in the 1945 First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.

The ENIAC patent, issued in 1964 was filed on June 26, 1947, and granted February 4, 1964, but the public disclosure of design details of EDVAC in the First Draft ( which were also common to ENIAC ) was later cited as one cause for the 1973 invalidation of the ENIAC patent.

The First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC ( commonly shortened to First Draft ) was an incomplete 101-page document written by John von Neumann and distributed on June 30, 1945 by Herman Goldstine, security officer on the classified ENIAC project.

The case was legally resolved on October 19, 1973 when U. S. District Judge Earl R. Larson held the ENIAC patent invalid, ruling that the ENIAC derived many basic ideas from the Atanasoff – Berry Computer.

In 1946 the ENIAC ( Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer ) of John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly followed, beginning the computing era.

Machines such as the Z3, the Atanasoff – Berry Computer, the Colossus computers, and the ENIAC were built by hand using circuits containing relays or valves ( vacuum tubes ), and often used punched cards or punched paper tape for input and as the main ( non-volatile ) storage medium.

The US-built ENIAC ( Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer ) was the first electronic general-purpose computer.

** Assembly of the world's first general purpose electronic computer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer ( ENIAC ), is completed.

** ENIAC ( for " Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer "), an early general-purpose electronic computer, is unveiled at the University of Pennsylvania.

ENIAC (; Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer ) was the first electronic general-purpose computer.

For a variety of reasons ( including Mauchly's June 1941 examination of the Atanasoff – Berry Computer, prototyped in 1939 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry ), US patent 3, 120, 606 for ENIAC, granted in 1964, was voided by the 1973 decision of the landmark federal court case Honeywell v. Sperry Rand, putting the invention of the electronic digital computer in the public domain and providing legal recognition to Atanasoff as the inventor of the first electronic digital computer.

With John Mauchly he invented the first general-purpose electronic digital computer ( ENIAC ), presented the first course in computing topics ( the Moore School Lectures ), founded the first commercial computer company ( the Eckert – Mauchly Computer Corporation ), and designed the first commercial computer in the U. S., the UNIVAC, which incorporated Eckert's invention of the mercury delay line memory.

In April 1943, the Army contracted with the Moore School to build the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer ( ENIAC ).

Eckert and Mauchly built the ENIAC ( Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer ) at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering between 1943 and 1946.

In 1950, Remington Rand acquired the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, founded by the makers of the ENIAC, and in 1952, they acquired Engineering Research Associates ( ERA ), both of which were pioneers in electronic computing.

* November-Assembly of the world's first general purpose electronic computer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator Analyzer and Computer ( ENIAC ), is completed, covering 1800 feet of floor space, and the first set of calculations is run on it.

The BRLESC I ( Ballistic Research Laboratories Electronic Scientific Computer ) was a first-generation electronic computer built by the United States Army's Ballistics Research Laboratory ( BRL ) at Aberdeen Proving Ground with assistance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), and was designed to take over the computational workload of EDVAC and ORDVAC, which themselves were successors of ENIAC.

* John W. Mauchly and the Development of the ENIAC Computer

The meaning of the acronym is unknown, but mid-century, high-technology names often ended in " AC " ( generally for " Automatic Computer " or similar ), such as ENIAC, Univac, EDVAC, MANIAC, and JOHNNIAC.

J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly similarly were not aware of the details of Babbage's Analytical Engine work prior to the completion of their design for the first electronic general-purpose computer, the ENIAC.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

It was not a Turing complete computer, which distinguishes it from more general machines, like contemporary Konrad Zuse's Z3 ( 1941 ), or later machines like the 1946 ENIAC, 1949 EDVAC, the University of Manchester designs, or Alan Turing's post-War designs at NPL and elsewhere.

J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly were the first to patent a digital computing device, the ENIAC.

The ABC had been examined by John Mauchly in June 1941, and Isaac Auerbach, a former student of Mauchly's, alleged that it influenced his later work on ENIAC, although Mauchly denied this ( Shurkin, pg.

In 1967 Honeywell sued Sperry Rand in an attempt to break their ENIAC patents, arguing the ABC constituted prior art.

The United States District Court for the District of Minnesota released its judgement on October 19, 1973, finding in Honeywell v. Sperry Rand that the ENIAC patent was a derivative of John Atanasoff's invention.

It is quite conventional in principle in past and present computing machines of the most varied types, e. g. desk multipliers, standard IBM counters, more modern relay machines, the ENIAC " ( Goldstine and von Neumann, 1946 ; p. 98 in Bell and Newell 1971 ).
