Abstract :
The development of digital computing machines is described and illustrated, from the mechanical devices of the seventeenth century to the electronic systems of today, in three chronological sets of sketches. Only a few typical ones of the modem systems are treated and not all early machines are discussed. A bibliography is appended.
