John Mauchly was a professor at Urisinus College when he enrolled in the course. Later, because of his outstanding performance at ESMWT, he was hired at Penn to replace professors called away to active duty. It was during this time that Mauchly met J. Presper Eckert, who was a graduate of Penn and hired to run the laboratory for the ESMWT course.
J Presper Eckert and John Mauchly's UNIVAC was a direct competitor with IBM's computing equipment for the business market. The speed with which UNIVAC's magnetic tape could input data was faster than IBM 's punch card technology, but it was not until the presidential election of 1952 that the public accepted the UNIVAC's abilities.
The story of Dr. John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert shows how the convergence of mathematical minds, research universities, and laboratories in the U.S. An aspiring meteorologist and a recent college graduate teamed up to design and build the ENIAC—the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer—in the secure environment of the University of Pennsylvania Moore School of Engineering.
