The Vacuum tubes
TION
In electronics, vacuum tube,
electronic tube thermionic valve is
a device used to amplify switch or
modify or create an electrical
signal controlling the movement
of electrons
Special function of Vacuum
Tubes: gilled with low pressure
gas, these are so called soft tubes
as distinct from the hard vacuum
type which have the internal gas
pressure reduced as far as
possible. Almost all the tubes
depends on the thermionic
emission of electrons.

1937- John V. Atanasoff together


with Clifford Berry devised the first
digital electronic computer and came
up with the Atanasoff and Berry

in November 1939.

Z machine was a notable achievement in the evolu-
tion of computer. The first machine to include binary and
floating point numbers.
Z3 consisted of separate units such as a punch tape reader,
control unit, floating-point arithmetic unit and input/output
devices.

Punch Cards and Transistors
CH CARD

A punch card or punched card


(or punchcard or Hollerith or IBM
card), is a piece of stiff paper that
contains digital information
represented by the presence or ab-
sence of holes in predefined posi-
tions.
A transistor is a basic electrical compo-
nent that alters the flow of electrical cur-
rent. 
Transistors are the building blocks of in-
tegrated circuits, such
as computer processors, or CPUs. Mod-
ern CPUs contain millions of
individual transistors that are microscopic
in size.
