55+;;Quote: the Jacquard loom could weave any imaginable design; basis for Babbage's analytical engine
|
55 ;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine could compute any formula that consisted of operations on variables and conditional modifications
|
55+;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine used a set of operation cards and a set of variable cards; each set strung together
|
56 ;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine had a library of previously constructed functions
|
57 ;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine punched tables with x,y pairs; could verify that attendant brought the correct card

59 ;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine may be fast enough to not need precomputed tables
|
60 ;;Quote: Babbage substituted unbounded time for unbounded space; allows a finite machine to make calculations of an unlimited extent
|
64 ;;Quote: Babbage's analytical engine can backup and advance the operation cards to any extent; can make judgments based on any number of conditions
