This is the day, February 8, 1945 that a Patent is Filed for the Harvard Mark I. by C.D Lake, H.H. Aiken, F.E. Hamilton, and B.M. Durfee.
The Mark I was a large automatic digital computer that could perform the four basic arithmetic functions and handle 23 decimal places. Doing multiplication took about five seconds.
I remember working with Mark4 and it was filling in columns with codes and indicating the mathematical functions. Until today I never realized that Mark4 had its beginnings in 1945 with Mark1.
