Re: [SIGCIS-Members] Von Neumann EDVAC report
One of the great unanswered questions is how many copies were made in 1945
How many do we already know of? 1. Smithsonian 2. L. of C. 3. NARA (Aberdeen records in Georgia) 4. presumably NARA / ENIAC records in Maryland 5. Mauchly archive @ Penn? I've been there a few times recently but don't recall if it includes the EDVAC report, as I was there for other documents
And there is a further question. There are spirit copies of the report in green ink and copies with blue (or purplish) ink. Are they identical? On May 29, 2009, at 1:55 PM, evan@snarc.net wrote:

The Charles Babbage Institute has a photocopied version in the I. Bernard Cohen Papers - looks like it was made in 1971. -Stephanie Crowe rws wrote:
