Development of The Computer
In 1946, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert developed the first electronic computer at the University of Pennsylvania. The funding for this computer, called ENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator), was provided by the Ballistics and Ordnance Division of the U.S. Army. Lieutenant Herman Goldstine was the Army Officer most directly involved in the development of ENIAC. In his memoir/history of the development of the computer, Goldstine quotes his superior officer, Colonel Paul Gillon, who attributes a crucial role for Feltman in securing the funding for the ENIAC project. Feltman also served as a liaison between the Ballistics Division and Mauchly.
