Abstract: The article discusses the history of the development of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC). The first design of ENIAC was accomplished by scientists J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in 1944 which was done at the University of Pennsylvania for the U.S. Army during World War II where it was used as calculator of ballistic trajectory table. It was only made known to the public in 1946. It comprised of two accumulators including the power supply and the signal generator that performed basic calculations. On June 21, 1948, ENIAC was fully revised as one of the first computers in the U.S. designed as a stored program. Manchester Machine was the first product of the revised ENIAC at the University of Manchester in England.
