  1. Mechanical Period Chelsea Mattioli, Lindsey Hilligoss, Giselle Moncada 2nd period

  2. Early Years The Bouchon-Falcon loom was semi-automatic and required manual feed of the program. In 1801, Joseph created a pattern being woven was controlled by punched cards. The series of cards could be changed without changing the mechanical design of the loom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_hardware#Earliest_calculators

  3. What happened in these years? harles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. Alll of his inventions consisted on drawings, also consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long. Below is the picture http://www.computerhistory.org/babbage/?gclid=CIuPmOWq4ZkCFQKJxgodr3wx4A

  4. Pascal’s “La Pascaline” Blaise Pascal created the Pascaline. Which was basically an old calculator. He built it because his father needed help because he worked as a tax receiver. When one gear moves it fits into the teeth on the other gear and makes it move and so on. This machine is still used today. http://www.thocp.net/hardware/pascaline.htm

  5. Von Leibnitz’ “Stepped Reckoner” In 1674 the Stepped Reckoner was invented by Baron Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz. He was a German mathmatic and he mainley used cylinders. He also made the Binary system. http://tucker.dade.k12.fl.us/Classrooms/Locke/Computer_Fieldtrip/stepped_reckoner.htm

  6. Jacquard’s loom/punch cards Jacquard’s Loom was invented in 1801. This was named after Joseph Marie Jacquard. He was French. And he worked as a silk-weaver. This machine was the first one to be invented that used punch cards. http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/jacquard.htm

  7. Difference Engine The difference machine is a calculator created to calculate numbers, There was also a book wrote based on this machine it was written by J. H. Muller. It explained the machine and how it worked. Charles Babbage also created a machine like a calculator just an older version, these are both advanced versions of the abacuss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine

  8. What important things happened as a result of the advances of this period? The important things that happened as a result of the advances of the mechanical period is that when they made the calculators it helped us work with numbers more on computers and calculators. We got this information from Mrs. Stacy because we couldn’t find any sites

  9. Important stuff This period is about mostly calculators and how they were electronically produced into computers. It was also important because of all the different ways people tried to make calculators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computers
