Historical Computing Machines Series Volumes
Folks: Over the past four years, I have published six volumes in my Historical Computing Machines Series through Cambridge Scholars publishing of Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. These books are available through their website: https://cambridgescholars.com The six volumes to date are: Birthing the Computer: From Relays to Vacuum Tubes Birthing the Computer: From Drums to Cores First Generation Mainframes: The IBM 700 Series Second Generation Mainframes: The IBM 7000 Series Mainframe Computer Systems: The General Electric Corporation The Univac Corporation: In From The Beginning The next book in the series: The Burroughs Corporation: Innovation in Architecture, will be submitted in a few week. The next books in the series are anticipated to be (tentative titles): Mainframe Computer Systems: Honeywell Incorporated Control Data Corporation: Speed and More Speed I continue to search for manuals, documents, reports, etc. that can help me provide an accurate picture of these machines that have contributed to the development of Computer Science and Information Processing.

Dear SIGCIS colleagues, Does anyone have tips for readings on grids versus tables as methods of organising data, esp in the leadup to, or realisation in, informatics? Or, if not a comparison of the two forms, then perhaps focused studies on the grid or on the table, respectively, as a data-technique in fields like physics, computation, accounting, cartography, etc? Thanks, as always, for your deep well of ideas and knowledge!
