040901 - On 051113 added considerable narrative on developing an explanation of
040902 - presencing, ref SDS 13 8H5K, and based on history of the computer
040903 - industry, mostly entered on 960304. ref SDS 4 6M3K  This increased the
040904 - size of the last section from about 5K to now about 150K.
040906 -  ..
040907 - Today, broke up the last section into 4 new sections of about 30K.
040909 -  ..
040910 - Also, split the other sections so everything is about evenly divided.
040911 - This will prevent running out of memory as the current work is
040912 - further expanded.
040913 -
040914 -    It later turned out that dividing outline structure for
040915 -    intelligence support caused a problem because the code in macro
040916 -    file 0122 that processes outlining created on 990410 requires 2
040917 -    rules. ref SDS 6 FL7H

040919 -       [On 060920 accumulation of changes induced small errors,
040920 -       which came into alignment bringing major problem to
040921 -       attention; solved with synergy between collaboration and
040922 -       reviewing the record. ref SDS 14 4O9J

040936 - Goldstine discusses memo with Brainerd. ref OF 15 W15M
040938 -  ..
040939 - Brainerd performed due diligence and found the prevailing paradigm was
040940 - electro-mechanical technology to extend the Differential Analyzer.

040952 -    Enrolls and expects to find talent for collaboration to develop

040958 -     ..
040959 -    Correspondence with Atanasoff led to invitation to visit Ames, Iowa
040960 -    to inspect the ABC computer. ref OF 16 XZ9O

040963 -    Memo outlining scope of electronic digital computer based on
040964 -    Atanasoff design, prepared on 410815. ref OF 16 XZ5X
040966 -     ..
040967 -    Mauchly's unique history provided a biographical instrument for
040968 -    accumulating the precise knowledge for constructing an electronic
040969 -    digital computer. ref OF 16 RF3L
040971 -     ..
040972 -    Mauchly wrote to Atanasoff asking about using his ideas for

040980 - Goldstine recalled that government agencies said Mauchly's idea for
040981 - digital computer was "for the birds," that analog was the way to go,
040982 - because digital computing would never work, ref OF 16 X16Q, reported
040983 - in research on 960304. ref SDS 4 YF6O
