BARK

BARK - "Binär Auto-Matisk Relä-Kalkylator" var Sveriges første computer.

I Digital Computer Newsletter Vol 2, No 2, May 1950 kan man læse om den:

The BARK (Binär Auto-Matisk Relä-Kalkylator), the relay computer mentioned in last Newsletter, has been completed and has performed satisfactorily, during continuous runs of up to 8 hours, at speeds of about 200 milliseconds per addition and 300 milliseconds per multiplication. It is hoped that, by further trimming, the speeds, which are adjustable by means of potentiometers, can be increased somewhat.

Containing about 5200 relays, the machine cost less than $100,000, including design, development, and construction. The project was under the direction of Dr. Conny Palm and most of the design work was done by Harry Freese and Gosta Neovius.
