Early Logic Machines
Early Machines Devised to Solve Problems in Logic The world's first real logic machine, in the sense that it could actually be used to solve formal logic problems, was invented in the early 1800s by the British scientist and statesman Charles Stanhope (third Earl of Stanhope). A man of many talents, the Earl designed a device called the Stanhope Demonstrator, which was a small box with a window in the top, along with two different …showed first 75 words of 568 total…
