EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the office of Edgar Allen Steel Co. in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, back in 1963. In the image, we see a Hollerith data machine, an early computing device developed by Dr. Herman Hollerith himself. Born to German parents in 1860, Hollerith revolutionized statistical analysis with his mechanical tabulator based on punched cards. The significance of this machine lies not only in its historical context but also in its impact on modern technology. It is worth noting that Dr. Herman Hollerith's company eventually evolved into IBM, one of the world's leading tech giants today. During the 1890 US census, these early machines were employed to rapidly process vast amounts of data from millions of punch cards—an impressive feat for that era! The presence of this advanced machinery at Edgar Allen Steel Co. , an industrial powerhouse during that time period, highlights their commitment to efficiency and innovation. In this particular scene captured by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we observe a female office worker tending to the machine diligently. Her role exemplifies how women played crucial roles within industries like steel production and embraced emerging technologies. This photograph serves as a testament to both technological advancements and societal progress during the mid-20th century—a snapshot frozen in time showcasing the intersection between science, industry, and gender dynamics within Britain's iron and steel sector.
