ON CENSUS AS US SAVES MILLIONS The
US government has saved 5 million dollars for the 1890 census
by using Herman Hollerith's new 'punch card' machine. The counting
machines were made by the Western Electric Company. Everything
was in place by June 1890 and the first data from the census
arrived in September of that year. The counting was completed
by 12 December 1890 having taken about three months to process
instead of the expected time of two years if counting had been
done by hand. Canada, Norway and Austria were quick to follow
the American example and the machine was used to process their
1891 census. Meanwhile, at home, it's business as usual and
it will probably take another 20 years before the system is
adopted.
