I/m not sure if the E in SEAC is EASTERN or ELECTRONIC - there are references to both. Since the W in SWAC is WESTERN, my guess that it is EASTERN. However there was already a reference to ELECTRONIC, so I kept that name. If anyone can clear this up, please do! --Bubba73 00:04, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well, an article by a person who should know says "Eastern". Memories of the Bureau of Standards' SEAC, by Ralph Slutz, in A History of Computing in the 20th Century, by MEtropolis, et al. Uless I see some objection, I'll move it to EASTERN.--Bubba73 00:31, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Now the page has been moved to "Eastern", but I'm finding more contemporary reports calling it "Electronic". I think that it would be better to have it under SEAC and give both names, but there is a disambig page named SEAC. Perhapes it was initially called "electronic", but that became "Eastern" to distinquish it from Western in SWAC. I'd appreciate ideas of how it should be listed. --Bubba73 00:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Name?
The second photo shows the name as "National Bureau of Standards Electronic Automatic Computer", not "Eastern". Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 07:41, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, your supposition that it was initially named "Electronic" and then renamed "Eastern" to differentiate it from SWAC seems most likely. It would be nice if we could find cited proof of that somewhere. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 08:20, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- I've usually seen it called "Eastern" but the photo does say "Electronic". Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
The 1955 BRL report says "Electronic". Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
